"I have been using this medication for about 3 years. It has kept the swelling on my optic nerve under control. When I first started taking the drug it made me feel pretty ill but that stopped after a short adjustment period. I do suffer from some side effects such as a dry mouth and I need to drink a lot of water, a sensitivity to the sun and heat, and occasionally some tingling/numbness on cheeks or fingertips. I do have to eat when I take this, otherwise, I feel shaky/queasy. However, they are not unbearable side effects."

For Glaucoma "Have used for over a year along with Dorzolamide/Timolol PF for glaucoma. They appear to be working somewhat BUT the cost of these medications is getting harder and harder to afford. I am on a Medicare Part D drug plan and NO ONE covers the cost of these meds. With the methazolamide I have noticed increased dryness of mouth and increased urination. Having only one eye I can understand my Opthamologist wanting to use the best drugs possible. Since this is a generic drug I cannot understand why the price is so high."

For Glaucoma "Just started it about 1.5 weeks ago. I was taking 1 50 mg daily, and my doc encouraged me to take it 2x/day. So far, it affected my sleep and left me feeling quite tired. I'm not sure of its effectiveness."

For Glaucoma "Took 25 mg and within 3 hours I had a headache and nausea, leading to an hour of retching. I'm a senior and this made me ill all day."
