Has anyone had Mental Health or Cognitive Impairment while on Calcitriol?

2 Replies

I don't think my kidney can clear all the drug from my system. Memory loss, crying, simple word usage. Things looking bigger then they are. Some other minor hallucinations. Any response would be welcome.

I did have mental health issues coping with such big life changes as needing a kidney but I don't know if it had anything to do with the medications. A decline in kidney function can often cause memory loss, and I also had minor hallucinations before being diagnosed. Give yourself grace around these struggles. Managing chronic illness (especially during a pandemic) isn't easy. Sometimes getting through each moment is an achievement.
