Hi
I have been on Lyrica for over a year now with no problems.I am also taking 22 other meds everday, one being neurontin. If you have ever been on narcotics
Methodone or oxycontin, being on Lyrica is a breeze to me.
I can understand your concern about the kidney. Have you just sat down with your Doctor and explained your apprehensiveness about the kidney. Try to discuss this with him. if he wouldn't shine some light on this for you, I would definetly get another opinion. This is nothing to play around with, that for sure.
Take care and I hope you find an answer soon.
