pseudotumor cerebri
"My experience with acetazolamide has been okay. I started taking it after my lumbar puncture to relieve the pressure.  (I got IIH because it was a rare side effect of an antibiotic I was on for my acne, minocycline) it has been VERY effective at relieving the pressure, but gives really annoying side effects, like tingling of my fingers, face, and toes. Like when I'm trying to sleep my feet tingle and go crazy and it makes it impossible to sleep. It also made me have little to no appetite and I have lost 20 pounds in about 2 months. I my neurologist told me that long term use of this medication can cause kidney damage, but 6 months to a year shouldn't be a worry. (I am only going to be on diamox for 6 months. I've been on it for 4 months)"
