Promises of improved kidney function?

Hi Ginger, after seeing my primary care yesterday (and crying through the entire visit), we decided that it was best to try a newer generation antidepressant that may have less implications for CKD. My amlodipine was increased and my lisinopril was decreased. He agreed to monitor my GFR more closely.

@csage1010 I know that being upset and showing emotion during a medical appointment might have seemed to be a sign of weakness in your mind, but rest assured it is normal. We are rightfully emotionally involved in our health, and often my anger/sadness/frustration comes out with drs I trust!

Yeah for his agreeing to monitor your eGFR closely. That is key and shows he heard you! I will be curious to hear what anti-depressant you decide on, and how you see it work for you.
