Virtually every side effect...but what can you expect with about 3gday?
Diamox worked like magic until recently but I think my reoccurring symptoms may be related to other medications that have increased my ICP. I have experienced side effects including kidney stones dehydration extreme tingling in my feet and temperature fluctuations.
