A member asked:
Started getting pins and needles in my feet after taking acetazolamide. is this a normal side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pins & needles: Or paresthesias are one of the more commonly reported side effects of acetazolamide. Since the drug is used for many medical conditions (glaucoma/altitude sickness/seizures/congestive heart failure/edema/etc) your prescribing doc may want to choose an alternate med, especially if the paresthesias get worse or become unbearable.
