The side effects of Diamox are rough, tingling in the hands, feet and lips, the "sucking on battery" taste when drinking anything carbonated, the overall tired feeling and constant drained feeling, but I will continue to thank the manufacture for making this drug that is keeping the pressure in my head down and allowing me to continue to see.

In fact all food tastes weird and and I don't feel like eating much. there is no way I could even
