I am curious to read of other patients use and side effects. I could not continue and wait for symptoms to get better so the effect of this RX has not been evaluated properly by me. Made me sick for 3 days in bed sleepy dizzy head

I did have slight dizziness and tiredness first few days, but if you take pill at bedtime and with food - its easy to control. Methazolamide is a diuretic and removes important electrolytes from your body. I had to take multivitamins, eat bananas and drink Powerade to keep my muscles and bones healthy. I had experienced muscle cramps in the beginning, so its very important to replenish nutrients.. The worst side affect that I still have after taking this drug for 7 months is ringing in my ears, its still going after I stopped taking pills 2 months ago.. I'm afraid it turned into tennitus...

lowered pressure after only one weeks use. I do notice that I get a bit tired after taking and tend to fall asleep in front of the tv, but it's much better than losing my vision. I already lost vision before starting this. Easy to use and works with minimal side effects.

Took medication due to the only option left treating high eyes pressure. Helped lowering pressure but felt real tired and have no energy to do anything . Also making me so sleepy i just dozed off many times while watching t.v.

I've been taking Methazolamid for several years and I know that w/o my eye pressure would be a lot worse, like it used to be before, with only eye drops Cosopt, Alphagan, Lumingan. Unfortunately, the big side effect to this medication is that I feel very sleepy, very tired to the point that I don't have energy to do finish what I'm doing many times.
