I take Diamox 500mg twice a day for Pseudotumor Cerebri / Intracranial Hypertension (headaches caused by increased cerebral spinal fluid pressure). First 2 weeks on Diamox I had nausea and was short of breath, but that soon passed. Side effects - some weight loss and frequent potty trips. Diamox saved my vision and keeps me from getting wicked pressure headaches.

I was prescribed Diamox Sequels, 500 mg, 2x daily for my intracranial hypertension. The drug has been a miracle, my eyesight has returned as well as it can. I am able to perform all of my daily duties, and live a complete, happy, full life.
