I just realized why my kidney function is tanking... it's the Vraylar (atypical antipsychotic for manic/mixed episodes). There is a warning in the section for medical professionals not to give it to patients with severe kidney impairment (mine isn't really "severe")...
It can also increase your blood sugar, which could explain the high blood sugars.
I hope they don't want to d/c it prior to surgery. My pdoc wants me to stay on it until after surgery so I will remain stable...
I also read that it can cause agitation. Maybe that is part of the reason why I've been having a hard time with agitation?
