A member asked:
If you've been on diamox for years due to iih, and your blood biochemistry is significantly altered. with acidosis symptoms... how long, after removing the diamox, should it take to recover? thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Key is whether stopping Diamox is prudent in view of chronic IIH. You will need some medication for future control. This is a balancing act as presence of chemical imbalance might be better tolerated if pressure is controlled
