Acetazolamide Reviews
Working / Worked
Too soon to tell. I have only been taking it for 2 weeks. So we will see.
Working / Worked
Has really worked great for me in the past. I take 2000 mg per day usually when I have it. Currently I am out of it. I have had tingling problems in the past but have learned you have to take this med at specific times each day, especially if you are on the generic and not Diamox Sequel. It has greatly helped me in the past 11 years.

Diamox has worked for me the past two years. My doctor started weaning me off it this past summer but I became pregnant and my symptoms started coming back so I had to return to full dose again. It has helped again.
