Acetazolamide for Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis User Reviews

"Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is an ion channel disorder that causes me to have partial to full body paralysis and daily generalized weakness, not to mention other medical problems. Acetazolamide helps keep my potassium up (along with potassium chloride - immediate release) to a safe level the majority of the time. I have chronic mild metabolic acidosis and have had one kidney stone in the past 16 years due to acetazolamide, but it has been well worth the side effects."
