Hi there. I’ve worked out that the prescription medicines I’ve been taking for decades have caused my ckd and I would appreciate your views: Lanzoprazole;Benzodiazepines (Nitrazepam every night for many years); and Lamotrigine (a mood stabiliser). On the other hand, the sertraline I take for depression is harmless (it doesn’t work for me in any case).

The first three drugs you mentioned can definitely cause kidney issues. But I have no suggestions for replacement meds, since we have no experience with this area of medicine. However, most meds are filtered through either the kidney or the liver. (I was reminded of that my own doctor recently.) So, unfortunately, if you protect the one, then the other is at risk. You have to weigh the issues carefully. I hope someone will hop on here and give you direction. It's likely your best advice would come from a pharmacist or other knowledgeable professional. I truly hope you can find a good outcome!
