I am 22 and I started taking Diamox 500mg 2x a day. I have the horrible tingles in my heels, sometimes hands and lip. I've only been sick 1 time and the funny one (I think so) is that I get confused. My headaches are reduced, maybe by half. I will get a spinal tap soon and hopefully that will help more.

I have been on this medication for 2 months now, and the side effects are horrible. I have constant tingling in the feet/hands, dizziness, confusion and drowsiness. I haven't seen a change in my condition as of yet. My doc wants me to work up to 500 mg 2X daily, and I'm only up to 1/3 of that dose. I'm not really looking forward to getting up to the desired dosage.

If Diamox is intended to make you unrinate, then that it does. This drug seeks out every drop of moisture in your body and within what seems like minutes, sends you to the bathroom for some geyser action. It makes sense to drink alot of water in an effort to replace all that you're losing. It did relieve the pressure around my eyes, allowing me for the first time in weeks to roll them at my hu ...
