A member asked:
Does diamox (acetazolamide) 500 mg 2x/day taken for three weeks need to be tapered off? how slowly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tapering dose: My first question would be why were you started on Diamox (acetazolamide)? Who prescribed this med to you? What was the condition it was intended to treat? I would also try to contact the physician who started this medication. You should not get any withdrawal symptoms from this medication.
