Nabumetone, linzess or lyrica.
Brief Answer:
The medications shouldn't be the cause.
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Considering at that list of medications and also after checking literature to make sure I have to say that none of them have any major effects on the kidneys.
So I believe the cause must be sought elsewhere, starting with a simple urine analysis. It is not uncommon in female patients for urinary infections not to produce any symptoms, so an infection is the first thing which needs to be excluded.
I remain at your disposal for other questions.

Taking Baclofen which is good with spasticity.
Taking gabapentin which is really good @ 900 mg/day, but started getting excessive fidgety, restless, tonguing and other stuff, so I cut it back but not out
