it made me pee a ton the first day but after that it worked fine and the diuretic effect wore of. Published: February 25, 2008 ::

I have been taking this med for 6 years. When I could afford Diamox Sequels, it was great. Sometimes an hour after taking this, I get extreme pressure behind my eyes. I also have been getting hives for about a year now. Anyone else have these problems?? I thought that I could drink whatever I wanted but maybe that is why soda always tastes flat!! Ha! I wish that there was more research on this awful condition. We need new meds!! Published: November 05, 2008 ::

I started out taking 250mg a day, now the doctors have me taking 1,750mg a day. They say my body is compensating for the lower levels of CSF. I think this medication is worse than the disease itself. I have had three emergency doctor visits because of undisclosed side effects. Now I am looking at surgery (the shunt)because the doctors have finally began thinking I have been through enough. Side Effects I experienced: n&v daily, fever, SEVERE CONSTIPATION, dizziness, no energy what so ever, stroke like symptoms, tingling in all fingers, everything but water tastes extremely bad. Now after all of this, I have to start seeing a kidney doctor because the medication has caused me to have insuffient renal function. PLEASE I WOULD HAVE RATHER HAD THE HEADACHES.At a lower dose this medication did not give me all of these side effects just a few bareable ones. But once they started titrating the doses it became a nightmare. Published: September 12, 2008 ::

I have been on this medication for 3 years now for the tx of pseudotumor cerebri. It makes me very drowsy, and "out of it" at times, so I take it before bed time. I also experience numbness (like when your foot falls asleep) in my toes/feet/random fingers, even parts of my face sometimes. This medicine has saved my vision though, without it I would probably be blind today. When my Opthamologist tried to ween me off of it a year ago, the headaches, nausea and vomiting came back, unfortunately. I work as a pharmacy technician, and i'd have to say though, it is dispensed very sparingly, mostly for patients with seizures. Published: July 19, 2008 ::

Plan on cutting back on soda because it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. Published: December 24, 2007 ::

My Toy poodle was given this drug for glaucoma and the first time I gave it to her she was having labored breathing and her tongue turned white. I gave a second dose the next day and she had the same reaction. I thought I was close to losing her. Published: October 29, 2007 ::

Cured my CSF buildup.. gotta take 4 a day. Makes most foods taste like crap. Deciding what to eat is a struggle.. Nothing tastes like it should. I can't eat foods I used to love. Still, I can see and my migraines are gone, so I'm happy. Published: March 09, 2009 ::

I was prescribed Acetazolamide to treat migrane related vertigo. This drug is supposed to stabilize the physical issues which cause the vertigo. As the vertigo I was experiencing was increasing in severity and frequency, and was increasingly debilitating, this drug has been a lifesaver. I do experience some tingling, and some drowsiness and forgetfullness. Though I am happy with the effectiveness of this drug, my doctor said I may be able to eventually wean off of it once my vertigo issues have stabilized. Published: September 12, 2008 ::
