Here’s a woman talking about her experience with acetazolamide, which she takes for Idiopathic intracranial hypertension-
Sounds like she was taking 1-2 grams a day (which is 8-16 times as much as the half pill dose discussed above), and while her side effects sound worse than anything I have experienced at the lower doses of 125-250mg a day, they still sound much more desirable than the more serious chemo or radiation side effects. So, it would probably be best if you could stay at the lower end of the dosage scale, especially paired with thiamine for the synergistic effect. But, higher doses do have their place.
I did forget about the taste of carbonated drinks. Sometimes, carbonated drinks would taste “flat,” but I rarely get that anymore. Recently, I’ve used the 250mg dose every once in a while, maybe once or twice a week, and I don’t get the “flat” taste from carbonated drinks anymore, even a day after I’ve used it, which is when it used to happen.
