For Pseudotumor Cerebri "I don’t see sparkles or have blind spots anymore. When I get headaches, they are no longer unbearable and make me miserable. I’m able to function. They’re like a “normal” small head pain now. I take 1000 mg daily right now. I noticed a change the day I started this medication. Less pressure in my head and behind my eyes, and less painful headaches. This medication is different for everyone. My first side effect was severe heartburn. I mentioned this to my neurologist, and they recommended an OTC heartburn med. So I take that also now. Some other side effects I have had are tingling lips, mouth, legs, and fingertips. Whenever I eat, it feels like I have pop rocks in my mouth. Sometimes my knees feel tight and my feet tingle so bad it’s painful, but it only lasts a minute or two. I’ve also had lack of appetite, fatigue, small hearing loss, brain fog, and increased urination. The side effects are worth it for me. I can actually function at 85% now instead of 5%."
