2	Pseudotumor cerebri	Tingling in feet, hands, lips. Dizziness. Frequent urination. Loss of memory. Forgetfulness. Soda taste really bad.	I had spinal tap on July 30,2010. Pressure was mildly elevated. 2 weeks later went back to Nero and he put me on Diamox 500mg twice daily. So been on med for 7 days now. Hasen't inpressed me yet. I will give it some more time and hope it starts to help. Still have everyday pressure headaches and my ears really feel like alot of pressure in them.	F	24	7 days 500mg 2X D		8/19/2010 Email
3	Epilepsy	Lack of sex drive. I used to want to have sex every day, but about two weeks after I started having diamox my sex drive died.	My weight has remain the same which is a good thing. I still get a few headaches which can be quite bad. Epilepsy is better controlled. I believe there is something better to control it.	F	27	2 years 250mg 1X D		5/29/2010 Email
5	Primary Alveolar Hypovent. Syndrome	Tingling of extremeties, mental sluggishness, loss of appetite, weight loss, total loss of senses of smell and taste, fatigue, diminished memory, fatigue, urinary frequency.	Diamox stimulates respiration and has saved my life. Loss of taste and smell is annoying, but I'd rather breathe.	F	63	13 years 500 Mg 2X D		5/4/2010 Email
3	Pseudotumor Cerebri	I had tingling in my hands, feet, and sometimes my face. I feel exhausted all the time, like I can't get enough sleep. My headaches have improved as I only had one in the last 6 days and it's normally 5 or 6 a week that are completely debilitating. My legs, ankles and feet also feel "achy".	I will give it 6 weeks when I have a follow up with my Doctor. If I am still feeling this way, I think I will have to ask about alternatives to taking this med. I have been too tired to live my life like normal for the last week.	F	29	6 days 500 mg 2X D		5/1/2010
2	IIH	Tightness in chest, very bad tempered, loss of 'focus', abililty to concentrate.	I have IIH very mildly, I havent really noticed any real change in my condition, just side effects	F	37	6 weeks 250 2X D		4/13/2010 Email
4	pseudotumor cerebri	tingling in hands, feet, face (hydrating REALLY helps with this) tiredness, a little uncoordinated.	would suggest putting up with side effects as opposed to losing eyesight. diamox is very effective and not reported to cause any fatalities or such. I can see out of my left eye again.	F	30	4 weeks 500 1X D		4/8/2010
4	pseudotumor cerebri	tingling in feet and hands. somewhat foggy feeling, sometimes low energy.	have had pseudo tumor for about 3 years. When diagnosed, began Diamox at 250 3x per day. However, as lost weight (40lbs), began to get low pressure headaches instead of high pressure and was able to get off meds. Have gained weight again, and pressure is increased and now back on 1/2 250 pill morning and 250mg at night. Hopefully, with weight loss, can get off meds. Weight loss is key to controlling this disease.	F	51	2 times 125/250 2X D		3/25/2010
4	Idiopathic IntercranialHypertension	Tingling sensation in fingertips,toes and knees. It was more frequent when I started taking Diamox. It has reduced now. Fatigue and tiredness is always there and I feel sleepy always. I feel more thirsty and my mouth&lips are always dry. I lost 2-3 Kilos within a week of taking Diamox, but weight's been pretty much same after that. I have just started taking Potassium supplement (Potassium Chloride solution). Diamox being a diuretic brings out the Potassium levels in the body.		F	26	4 weeks 250 2X D		2/28/2010
2	psuedo Tumor Cerebrii	I was diagnosed with pseudo tumor 3 years ago. At first I was taking the name brand diamox. I had no problems with it whatsoever. I didn't notice anything different. I was taking 500 twice a day I believe. The only side effect I had was tingling sensations at the bottom of my feet and sometimes my hands. But when I couldn't afford the name brand I had to switch to generic. The generic is terrible. It gave me really bad headaches 30 minutes after taking the meds. It also gave me weird vision. Not blurry, but like just weird. Like my head was a balloon.	I am very sensitive to pressure changes and have a history of migraines. My trip to flagstaff made me very very ill and I though my head was going to explode. I get nauseous. But the diamox, name brand, helped that. I can travel. But without insurance, diamox is way too expensive. My doctor took my off of it and we are playing by ear. Every since I switched to the generic, the meds make me disoriented, migraines, and nauseous. But it is very serious. Not taking the meds can mess up your vision. I went from 20/15 to 20/25. My optic nerves are always swollen and I have a small blind spot in my left eye. The meds are important, regardless of the side effect. I've been dealing with this for years. Please contact me if you need any advice. This medication takes time to adjust to.	F	21	3 years		9/16/2009 Email
4	Psuedo Tumor Cerebri	Lots of tingling and numbness in my face hands and feet. I find it hard to focus due to so much fatigue.	The Diamox eventually helped. It took a week with pain medication and medication for naseau for the diamox to start relieving the pressure behind my eyes and down my back. Being through this twice I would recommened a Spinal Tab to relieve the initial pressure then diamox to maintain the pressure.	F	23	1 years		9/14/2009
3	iih	constant tingling in extremeties (either while laying still or repeated movement, like scratching makes fingers tinlge), pressure headaches around eyes, lower back pain, knees/ankles/hips/shoulders hurt for no reason, sodas tasted metallic but not anymore, always tired, acid reflux, no energy, loss of apetite	It doesn't seem to be helping, but the decreased appetite has been helpful. The headaches are worse than when I started, but are not as constant. Will try it a little while longer before making request for new treatment method.	F	27	5 weeks		8/18/2009
3	IIH/ PTC	Pins and needles in hands, feet and lips. Lowered alertness. Insomnia alongside absolute pathetic energy levels. Drinking pop tastes like a liquid 9 volt battery on the tongue. Loss of apetite.	been on this 3 weeks now, and from day 2 onward my visual symptoms have all but vanished. I still get some obscurations from time to time, and i still feel my head and neck spine "balooning up" so thats good. Also this has ruined my hunger so hopefully that will help with that. The downside is ive got the good old pins and needles in my hands, feet, and lips. When i drink soda it feels like a liquid 9 volt battery being passed over my tongue. I have the most horrendous time sleeping, which makes seeing my new battery of doctors ever more inconveniant. Even when i sleep well, im forever drowsy and unmodivated. Sure beats spinal taps tho, especially considering im heavy enough that it start resembling a "pin the tail on the donkey" game for the doctors to find the right spot...	F	24	3 weeks		7/21/2009
3	Psuedo tumor cerebri	When I started at 1000 mg I had the tingling and weird taste to pop, but I am now up to 2000 mg and no longer have the side effects due to the medication no longer working for me and my fluid continuing to rise.	Very frequent urination now that I'm up to 2000 mg, somewhat of an appetite loss, the medication is only masking my signs and symptons, it is no longer keeping the fluid level down even though I take it 4 times a day, so in my view the medication is no longer working and it doesn't always cont. to work for everyone. I'm still have side effects to my vision. When I first found out I had this, my pressure level was at a dangerous rate and I almost lost complete vision in my left eye...I'm going through the same thing all over again....does anyone know why my medication isn't doing the job???	F	22	6 months		7/17/2009 Email
3	Pseutotumor Cerebri	Tingling in extremities, extreme fatigue, nothing too severe that I cannot handle it. Only taking 500 mg/day though. I really need to lose weight which my doctor says is the best way to relieve the pressure. I see where other people have lost alot of weight but this medicine has not done that for me. Why am I not losing weight like the others. I still have my usual appetite but I am too tired to work out! Help!	If you have any ideas on why I am not losing weight like many people have, please email me. Thanks!	F	39	7 months		6/9/2009 Email
5	IIH	Only side effects were pins and needles in hands and feet, 24/7	Worked great for diplopia, subsided after a week.	F	21	2 weeks		5/28/2009
2	Psuedotumor Cerebri	Numbness/tingling in fingers/toes,made it hard to walk.Facial swelling & numbness.Strange taste to food/drinks. Headaches worse.Overall I felt horrible and much worse then my PTC/IIH.	This medication did not work for me. Saying that I wouldn't recommend it would be silly...just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean it would not work for someone else. I simply want to let the people that can not take this drug (like me) know that there are options for them. There are other diuretics out there. I now use Lasix with no symptoms and have a lumbar puncture twice a year to take off excess fluid that the Lasix does not help with. There is hope, you just need to talk to your Neurologist and see what works for you. If they tell you that you just have to live with the adverse reactions to a certain medication, change physicians. You are your own advocate.	F	30	3 weeks		5/19/2009
2	IIH/PTC	Tingling feet and hands, extreme tiredness/sleeping a lot, pop tastes like crap, loss of appetite, extreme thirst, get cold easily, and just a lot of general discomfort >.<	I've only been taking Diamox for about a week, but I can barely stand it... the side effects are probably just as bad as my PTC symptoms. But there's not much that can be done, if I want to keep my vision, suppose I'll just have to keep taking it. I usually sleep a lot, but since I started taking this, it's been absolutely ridiculous. All I can do is sleep and rest because I feel miserable most of the time. I really hope this medicine becomes more tolerable with time and begins to help, otherwise I would just rather live with the PTC.	F	18	7 days		5/6/2009 Email
1		i have a psuedo tumer	after month and month of taking it i felt worse and worse so i refused to take it it was hard to pay attion in class sometime hard to even go to school i got psuedo tumer when i was 16 and that was the worst feeling i have ever gotten made my mouth numb couldnt use the restroom then when i could it was pain ful i would not recomend this medicine to my worst enemy	F	20	5 months		1/23/2009 Email
2	Pseudotumor Cerbri	Very hard to get used to high dosage (2000 mg).Very dizzy and unstable feeling while walking around, feel like I'm going to pass out, blurry vision, painful eyes, extremely tired, body pains, eyes are very sensitive to light, sensitive to sound and smells, decreased appetite.	I'm having a really hard time getting used to this medication. I ave been home from the hospital for 2 weeks after having 3 spinal taps to remove the extra spinal fluid. I feel like an vegetable, I can't move around the house, I am very weak and very dizzy. I was told it takes some time to get used to the Diamox but this is nuts.	F	35	4 weeks		1/8/2009 Email
4	Pseudotumor Cerebri	Upset stomach, fixed this by taking my pill with milk. Really tired, most nights I'm in bed by 8:30pm. Sodas taste horrible(YUCK)! Have noticed a decrease in my appetite.		F	44	6 days		12/21/2008
3	Intercranial Hypertension.	Extreme tiredness,pins and needles in hands,feet and legs and sometimes face,depression and made me irratable at times. Also gave me kidney stones!	First few weeks were hellish,tired all the time and made me very down,after a while my body got use to Diamox,but after 6 months I got kidney stones which is a so called `minor` health risk when taking these tablets.Still on them though as they do keep the pressure down somewhat.	M	42	2 years		12/5/2008
5	Intracranial Hypertension	Pins and needles in legs, feet, hands, face (legs and feet so severe it wakes me up at nights), severe nausea at first (passed after about 4 weeks), loss of appetite, get tired easily, really thirsty all the time. I haven't dared try drinking Coke or anything so I don't know if thats changed taste.	It took about 4 long, headache filled weeks to start working, but once it did it is doing a great job. My optic nerve swelling has reduced dramatically from diagnosis to now (2 months) and I should have no lasting loss of vision. The doctors were discussing a shunt in the first four weeks, but I am willing to put up with the side effects forever if it means an alternative to shunting. I was on 1500 mg per day for 4 weeks, and then got increased to 2000 mg per day which I am still on.	F	26	2 months		12/2/2008
4	IIH	Hands and feet fall asleep very easily, anything carbonated tastes off, soda tastes horrible, Drowsiness but only for the first half hour after taking the drug. Has reduced pressure. Taking 500mg per day.		F	24	4 days		11/24/2008
3	IH with grade 4 papilledema	tingling everywhere, hair loss but no bald spots, memory issues, lack of energy, major weight loss, nausea, funny taste in mouth	It doesn't have the best side effects in the world but when you are dealing with IH this is about all you can do. It has helped so much...very little pappilledema now but still have IH.	F	29	11 months		11/15/2008 Email
4	PTC/IIH	Tingling all over, especially in my hands and feet when I am cold. Also pins and needles from just sitting still, it can be painful and it doesn't subside from shaking it off. I get very dizzy if I bend down, and it regularly leads to feeling nauseous. Everything carbonated tastes gross (which may not really be a bad thing). As I started taking it and every time the dose got increased I was exhausted for at least a week while my body adjusted, I was sleeping all the time.	I take 2000 mg a day plus digoxin and lisinopril to deal with the PTC/IIH - which is a whole lot of medication BUT I was practically blind when I was diagnosed and now all my symptoms have pretty much gone away. My optic nerves are still slightly swollen, so it's still there, but under control. So all in all I guess I'd rather deal with these side effects than go blind. I wish there was something available to ease the side effects... I've also lost about 55 lbs and am still going...though it doesn't seem to have lessened the build up of CSF, like the doctors and websites have suggested.	F	39	9 months		11/11/2008
3	iih	pins and needles, 24/7 ,nausea , blured vision,, loss of appitite ,tied ,sometimes spaced out	have been taking for 2 years for iih .i think the side affects of the tablets are worse than the illness itself but it seems to be helping my eyesight	F	39	2 years		9/19/2008
5	Episodic Ataxia 2	No side effects yet, but we were told to drink lots and eat one banana a day...	This drug has given my Daughter SO MUCH HELP! We are on day 6 and she has not had ONE episode! She is able to stay up late, without her eyes tiring or getting sick. She is also clearer (as opposed to the normal "brain fog") and I see her speech is MUCH clearer! GREAT DRUG!	F	15	6 days		6/16/2008 Email
4	Psuedotumor cerebri	Tingling in lips and occassional entire body chill that ripples through me. I still have the bad headaches, it hasn't helped too much. I'm on 2000mg now and even that isn't working. I'm considering gastric bypass (psuedotumor is now a pre-req on some insurances!) to lose the weight and hopefully cure this horrible issue that I've dealt with for the past 7 years. This is my second comeback!	I also notice that I'm slow with comebacks (not a good thing for a blonde!)	F	23	13 months		6/9/2008
3	Pseudo-tumor cerebri	tingly and numbness in hands and feet. Dizziness, can't handle a rocking motion, anxiety attacks (which I have never had before) Lost for words most of the time. Pains in the back, neck, knees and ancles which has caused me to get pain meds.	diamox has not helped my pressure all that much, it worked at first but my pressure keeps going up and down causing a lot of pain.	F	22	1 years		6/9/2008 Email
1	PTC	Can't drink much of anything.. It all tastes bitter, even water Have had a seziure from loss of sodium. I urinate like I'm pregnant. Cold feet if they aren't tingly. I can't feel my left pinky most of the time.		F	34	6 months		5/29/2008
4	Pseudotumor	This medicine makes my knees hurt so bad it feels like they are broke. My feet tingle like im walking on broken glass. I never knew a med could hurt this bad. Now i take pain med to deal with the knee thing. I do absolutly nothing anymore.	But hey it took the swelling out. So atleast my eyes wont go bad even though i feel like im 90 years old	F	29	4 months		4/28/2008 Email
4	hypokalemic periodic paralysis	tingling in hands and feet, weight loss of @ 5 pounds, carbonated drinks tasted funny first few months, maybe caused some brain fog	Anyone with periodic paralysis should definitely try this drug...it will probably help you.	F	44	7 years		2/7/2008
4	Pseudo-Tumor Cerebri	Tingling in hands,feet dry mouth, bruising. The plus side of taking this medication is that I dont drink pop anymore makes it taste terrible and have not had any for a year now. That's how long I have been on the medication. It has helped the pressure and swelling has gone down alot. I have had the goldmens field vision tests done three times last year. And scheduled for another one in March this year. I still have floaters in my eyes. The headaches are gone somedays I have bad cordination. Dizzy spells once in awhile. I went from 164 lbs down to 115 lbs. I eat but get full fast the weight loss was being moniterd by my neurologist who said that I had to lose the weight so that it would be easier to treat the Pseudo-Tumor Cerebri. I wonder if that was one of the factors of why I had gained weight because of having the Pseudo-Tumor I'am only 5'4 and had always been small. I also will be having another lumbar puncture to check the pressure again to see if that has gotten back to normal, T	Diamox has kept me from getting a shunt put in. And has helped with improving me from this diagnosis. It has its upsides and downsides to it like everything else	F	36	1 years		1/26/2008
5	PTC Psuedo Tumor Cerebri	Very bad tingling in hands, feet, lip, eyes lids... Increased urnination, anything carbonated tastes metalic-like...You know when you are cold and shake and your chin shivers, I get that randomly all the time at any point in the day. I have had a perios for the whole duration of taking this medicine. (3 weeks and 2 days) Decreased hunger, I have lost 14 pounds in 3 weeks though (1700 or less calories a day)...	I like diamox because I have no more blurred vision, black spots in visions, no bright lights in visions. I have not had a head ache since the spinal tap leak. My optic nerve is still swollen, so he up'ed my dose from 1000 mg a day to 2000 mg a day.	F	24	3 weeks		1/5/2008
4	Pseudo-tumor Cerebri	Random tingling in feet, hands, arms, side of my face ("limb falling asleep feeling"), Cokes have a metallic after-taste, tired and sleepy at times	I take 2 grams a day (2000 mg - that's 8 pills), and it initally helped rid me of the headaches from PTC, I still have double vision (which this is supposed to help), but it help to save my vision, the headaches are returning though, possibly due to a tolerance to the drug - its information packet from the pharmacy stated that it may begin to lose its affectiveness after long periods of use - short-term, its worth it, if you don't mind your feet and hands randomly falling asleep.	F	25	8 months		11/28/2007 Email
3	Pseduotumor Cerebri	1ST TWO WEEKS: Tingling in feet/hands/lips (this actually started w/in an hour of taking 1st dose), carbonated bevs tast like rust, MAJOR fatigue (could hardly work for about 6-7 days - slept ALL the time).	NOW: Noticeable difference in cognitive thinking and continuous speech (I do presentations to groups all day for a living and this has really slowed me down -- consistently I forget my train of thought or forget words, even if I had already done the same presentation 3 times earlier that day) - Also, continued tingling (especially when in cold places), carbonated drinks still taste bad, but fatigue is COMPLETELY gone.... I felt back to my usual energy levels in almost exactly 2 weeks. My Neuro is going to take me off of this and put me on Topamax which has some similar, but more intense, side effects..... ANY suggestions?	F	29	4 months		11/25/2007
4	herpes simplex uveitis/glaucoma	Extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, confusion, increased urination, increased thirst, depression.	Have been taking 2 500mg caps for three weeks. Have taken it in the past for months at a time.	M	70	3 weeks		11/23/2007 Email
3	pseudotumor cerebri	slight tingling in finger tips and i broke out w/ acne on my neck, chest and back. Sometimes it hurts.	I take it 3 times a day, 250mg. It never really helped me. I had to have a shunt put into my lower back to drain the extra spinal fluid. I was almost blind. Now it keeps everything under control. But i still can't see that great. I still take the diamox but i'm so glad I have the shunt. I feel so much better.	F	31	5 months		11/14/2007 Email
3	I have Intercranial Hypertension	severe nausea	I'am taking 4000 grams,I think at this high of a dosage it should be doing more for me than what it is.	F	36	16 days		11/10/2007
2	Pseudotumor Cerebri	Great drop in mental ability...less quick with words and reaction times...way too frequent urination...tingling fingers and toes...waking up at night because foot had fallen asleep and hurt so much...lowered Potassium levels...exhaustion...dizziness, uncoordination, foggy feelings...DO NOT COMBINE WITH ALCOHOL.	Drug lost it's effectiveness or I built up tolerance was taking 1000 mg - 2000mg daily before failed shunt surgery...now back up to 1500 and trying to get down in dose. This drug scares me.	F	28	2 years		10/27/2007 Email
4	pseudotumor cerebri	tingling in hands and feet for first couple of months. Unable to drink caffinated beverages because the medication made them taste terrible...but hey, that's not always a bad thing.	My headaches are almost completely gone and I feel like I have more energy. I love the way I feel now!	F	24	3 months		9/10/2007
5	pseudotumor cerebria	Weight loss, tired at first, tingly fingers and toes, carbonated beverages taste horrible, milk really helps with an upset stomach while taking Diamox. My headaches have been gone for almost 4 months out of the 4 1/2 taking the medication.		F	36	4.5 months		5/30/2007
5	pseudotumor cerebri/ICH	The first weekend was absolutely horrible. I first took it on Thursday evening, and by Friday afternoon I was flat in bed with a nasty pressure headache, and spent the whole weekend there. It took me about two weeks to "mostly" adjust to it- I slept constantly and barely managed to make it through work. The remained of the 7 months were a great improvement over that first couple of weeks, and my sleeping patterns were close to normal again by month 3. After that first weekend, I have not had a pressure headache since, the dizzyness went away, and the "black spots" in my vision went away completely. Carbonated drinks were metallic-tasting, which is apparently par for the course, and irritating, but not really important.	I almost didn't manage to stick with it through that first couple of weeks, but I'm very glad I just hung in there. Symptoms have yet to reoccur, though my optic nerve once again shows enlargement. (This is two years later.) If I find myself all the way out of remission, I'll not hesitate to take this medication again.	F	28	7 months		5/8/2007
2	Increased pressure in head	Tingly feeling in arms, legs, feet, and lips; Always thirsty; Carbonated drinks taste weird; Double vision; Ringing in ears; Hearing loss in left ear; Uncoordinated	I also have MS and before taking Diamox I have never experienced any MS related symptoms. Now that I am, after taking Diamox, I tried to blame it all on my MS... but after reading that there's others who are experiencing the same side effects, I reliazed it's been this medication! I am stopping Diamox tonight. I have been taking 250mg twice a day.	F	20	30 days		5/7/2007 Email
3	pseudotumor cerebri	pop tastes wierd, heart burn , feel alittle "out there" at times	I just started tx with 1/2 pill in am and will graduate to 2 a day. Hopefully I can get relief of my headaches.	F	31	5 days		4/19/2007 Email
5	Cystine Kidney Stones	Slight and occasional tingling in my arms/fingers but no other side-effects.	Took to keep my urine pH alkaline during the night. Nephrologist took me off after he said it might cause Calcium-phosphate stones	M	50	7 years		4/10/2007
3	Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertensio	Tingling in feet, hands and face, carbonated beverages taste metallic, slight fatigue.	Has stopped progession of the IIH symptoms. Will be doubling dose to decrease intracranial pressure.	F	32	4 months		3/7/2007

5	episodic ataxia	little rash	this simple drug gave me a much better quality of life. I went from 2-3 episodes of ataxia a day to less than 1 a month	M	65	4 years		12/7/2006
3	altitude sickness prevention	marked paresthesias (tingling) in hands and feet	Take only 125 mg twice a day (most tablets are 250 mg) for first 24-36 hours or so at high altitude to prevent side effects; stop if tingling occurs or it will increase!	M	71	2 days		11/25/2006
4	Increased cerebrospinal pressure	Diuretic effect initially. Tingling in extremities at high doses, especially as response to pressure. Altered taste of carbonated beverages.	The body adjusts to this medication, and the diuretic effect diminishes in a few days. The medication helps very slowly. Dosage is gradually increased. Improvment is not a steady process but it is fluctuating. Best efficacy is when taken on an empty stomach, about an hour before meal.	M	40	2 months		11/18/2006
3	pseudo tumor cerebri	I can only eat small amounts at a time now..very tingly all over esp. face, hands, knees, feet..feel tired and dizzy all the time	Only been taking for 1 month so far. Just not myself. Although aches are gone and eye pain is better, I am on a permamnent "high"..very hit and miss. sometimes i feel its working and then I think it's not.	F	24	30 days		10/24/2006
3	Pseudotumor Cerebri	Initially, tingling in feet and hands. Metallic taste with any carbonated beverages for first 18 month of treatment. After that, carbonated beverages taste fine again. Very fatiqued and not as mentally sharp as prior to taking Diamox. Have developed daily heartburn and am wondering if this is also related to the Diamox.	Currently take 1500 mgs (three 500mg Sequels) daily. Although some symptoms have disappeared (tinnitus, internal pounding in skull), my eyesight continues to decline.	F	50	2.5 years		6/10/2006
