A member asked:
Which would you say is the most effective drug in treating idiopathic intercranial hypertension? i'm scared about taking topiramate
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several choices: Many pts do well with Diamox, (acetazolamide) but some have good responses from glycerol, and even furosemide. Have never been impressed with success from topirimate, and your other medications would be unlikely to help either.
