What Causes Dark Urine With Strong Odor?
I ve started using 300 mg Lyrica in combination with my 1200 mg of Trileptal (4x300mg) almost a month ago and now my urine is darker and cloudy with a strong smell. I also noticed pityriasis rosea on my body, may not be related but still. Is the urine change a bad thing ? Is the new meds a result of that ?
