acetazolamide for Mountain Sickness / Altitude Sickness: We used the generic form of this medicine for a quick 3-day visit to the Rocky Mountains, to prevent altitude sickness since we were time crunched and unable to acclimate slowly. It helped us both sleep, avoided getting ill and suppressed our appetites. We did feel some very slight dizziness/lightheadedness when we first started it, but were able to pretty much ignore it. I highly recommend it if you will be unable to acclimate - your trip will not be spoiled by getting sick. 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Diamox Sequels (acetazolamide) for Edema: I was diagnosed with psuedotumor cerebrae, hypertension in the brain caused by high levels of fluid. I have been on Diamox for several months. It worked then I needed another spinal tab, they upped my dose to 3 caps a day. Manufacturer and pharmacist both said NO, so now I am back on 2 caps a day; and the fluid is back! I can't take it anymore! 8 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Diamox Sequels (acetazolamide) for Edema: I HAVE BEEN ON THIS MEDICATION SINCE I WAS 27. THEY DIAGNOSED ME WITH WHAT YOU CALL A FLUID TUMOR ON MY BRAIN, WHICH CAUSES TO MUCH PRESSURE ON MY BRAIN WHICH THEN CAUSES MIGRAINE HEADACHES, REALLY BAD ONES. I LIVED WITH THEM FROM THE AGE OF 17 UNTIL THEY DID A SPINAL TAP AND FOUND OUT I HAD TO MUCH PRESSURE. I HAVE BEEN ON THIS MEDICATION EVER SINCE. I AM NOW 51 YEARS OLD. 5 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Diamox (acetazolamide) for Epilepsy: I have used Diamox for over 20 years as a "Seizure Control Drug" for Epilepsy. In this time I have found it a very effective drug. One side effect I did experience was the drug Tegretol in tandem with Diamox did not allow the Diamox to work effectively. This was soon discovered and Tegretol was stopped. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Diamox (acetazolamide) for Glaucoma: In a pretty critical situation after cataract surgery, this drug brought it totally in line. Side effects for me were mild though annoying. Of all of the side effects, a spacey feeling for about 10 minutes the first two times, and tingling fingers and toes. All in all worth it for short term treatment. 8 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate
