Experiences with

Acetazolamide

I saw consultant last week he prescribed cosopt lantanaprost and acetazolamide I take asthma medication my gp telephoned me and asked if he knew I was asthmatic which he did because he wrote Down my medication she said I shouldn’t be taking cosopt as it’s a beta blocker which is dangerous for asthmatics

I am currently on lots of eye drops and Acetazolamide tablets to keep my pressure down, it was checked last week and it was down to 14 in each eye. I am now worried it’s too low…. I have obviously now become concerned about everything to do with my eyes….

Cosopt x 2 a day Pilocarpine x 3 times a day Lumigan x 1 at night Viscotears to help with dry eye at night I’m also taking Acetazolamide tablets x 4 a day thank again

I had a laser iridotomy in November through the NHS for narrow angles this partially sealed over, I had an enlargement in March and since then my pressures have been high and I have been on the dreaded Acetazolamide and eye drops and I’ve had enough of it all.

The downside of the meds are the pilocarpine give my a thick head and achy eyes, the Acetazolamide makes me tired (I was previously on the slow release version but you can’t get hold of this at the moment), I also get the tingly hands, face and legs.

He is using 3 lots of drops in the right eye and on acetazolamide tablets 3 times a day.

I read that after having this you can have a pressure spike and was really worried because after my cataract surgery the pressure went from 20 to34 and I had to take Acetazolamide for two weeks which made me quite ill.

I'm sort of worn out with it all, not least as I have had a pretty traumatic time of it with uncontrolled pressures, plus 3 x severe allergic reactions to drops, living with se of acetazolamide, then cancelled surgeries etc.

After another emergency appointment, this time with a private Optometrist I was taken off Acetazolamide. However the symptoms that I was experiencing continued and only very slowly improved over the following 4 weeks.

Specific pharmacologic agents include acetazolamide is used for EA2, SCA 6 and varenicline (Chantix®) for SCA 3.7 Bile acid replacement may be tried for CTX.

Hi After a routine optician appointment last Friday I discovered I had pressure of 38 in my left eye After a trip to a local eye hospital I was prescribed acetazolamide as well as 3 different eye drops.

I have been prescribed Acetazolamide for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. I took it once and it made me feel so tingly everywhere all day and I hated it! It was an awful feeling. The doctors says to take a smaller dose but I’m so scared of feeling that again!

Knowing there is no cure I have been prescribed Acetazolamide to try and help with the symptoms. Originally at Salford Manchester a locum neurologist diagnosed me with late onset cerebellar Ataxia and sent me home with no cure and discharged me.

Specific pharmacologic agents include acetazolamide is used for EA2, SCA 6 and varenicline (Chantix®) for SCA 3.7 Bile acid replacement may be tried for CTX.

Since then the hospital have been battling to keep the pressure down while the implant dissolves I had to be on acetazolamide tablets 4 times a day and two different types of drops numerous times a day.

I was wondering if anyone here has tried taking acetazolamide aka diamox for migraines? I was looking at a study where women who took between 125mg and 500mg found relief. A lot of people say it didn't help them, though.

has anyone been prescibed or had 'ACETAZOĹAMIDE'
