Diamox Added To Help With Cycle

Mon, 08/18/2014 - 10:45

Hello everyone,

My doctor recently added Diamox into my medication rourtine, scheduled to take 2 days before oncoming menstration and then ceasing afterward. I had therefore been taking the medication as planned, and stopped two days ago when my cycle ended. However now I'm worried I might be experiencing side affects. Is that something anyone else has experienced?

I've never taken Diamox

I've never taken Diamox (though I see the neuro in two days) but it sounds like it might be useful for my catamenial seizures. That doesn't answer your question, though... just type in Diamox in google and it'll bring up the drug and info on side effects. Of course, if it is especially troublesome, call your doctor.
