a list of her meds:
Paxil, Zocor, Lyrica, Ativan, Cyprohepatidine, Neurotin, Glipizide, Metformin, Lotensin, Norvasc, & Prilosec.
Can these medications potentially cause her to suffer from this condition?

Hello. Initially none of the medications she takes are directly related to their symptoms. The more likely diagnosis is Neurogenic Bladder secondary to stroke.Neurogenic bladder is a pathology of the nerves and muscles of the bladder.She must go to a Urologist.He will requested additional tests to know the state of nerves and muscles of the bladder and confirm or exclude the diagnosis.
I wish you good health.
