Nausea effect of Diamox

It was sometimes very frustrating that hardly any doctors are familiar with the area and many, due to their ignorance, play down the situation. Meanwhile, my situation is improving more and more and I was able to stop the drug (first trial).

After the diagnosis ‘pseudotumor cerebri’ was made, I got the drug diamox for treatment, which will tell something to some. already one tab later, i was able to clearly perceive side effects. I had taste problems in terms of carbonated drinks. However, this side effect is enduring and not bad. However, I grew tired and feeble and day by day. and I am still today. The nausea, which I also initially felt, passed after about 1-2 months (luckily). what unfortunately remained, as I said, is just the lack of drive. From this drug I was also, as I now notice, much irritable and also somewhat depressive. At least that’s what I think, because it happened around the same time as diamox. what is to be added is probably the fact that diamox has not shown me a complete effect, or thereby my mind pressure could not be lowered, so I have to take a second remedy = topamac.

My son is five years old and took the drug for two weeks at 20mg / KG / day. Day by day he grew paler, more impotent and exhausted. At times vomit and diarrhea. Then metabolic disasters with hyperglycemia, headache, nausea, ketoacidosis. Then reduced to 10mg / KG / day. First improvement of the general condition. Now again very tired, pale and not resilient. Hirdruck ht improved at control LP.

Tingling hands and feet, metal taste, nausea, slowed body movements, long reaction time in general, impaired vision. Driving is no longer possible !!
