Anyone know of one? I was just on Diamox and Potassium Cl, but had a bad reaction to it. I have to wait the weekend before I get a new RX. I was kind of enjying life without headaches.

Diamox has been the first thing prescribed since I just only started meeting with an LLMD, who is also making me take CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, B-Complex (Stress Tabs), Probiotics (I use Jarro-Dophilus since it was reccomended)... He also has me on Klonopin and Neurontin for sleep and Cymbalta to help me cope a bit better.
The Diamox was working to kill the headaches, but my reaction to it was't a desirable one. Just looking for something else out there.

Don't you have to supplement magnesium when you take Diamox? Asked one LLMD about the drug and he said, "You're already very low in magnesium. If I gave you Diamox you'd have to have IV mag which would be fine if you lived here but you're too far away for us to co-ordinate the drip for you." Sounded like he wouldn't want me monitored by a hospital far away. Is this right? Would like to hear more on diamox from others. Thanks.

I hadn't heard that. I'm just counting down 'til Monday when I can try something new.

AP ~ What was your reaction to the Diamox? I tried it once about 10 years ago to find out it was a sulfonomide. Um... I'm allergic to sulfa drugs and had lovely red itchie hives.
If that's what happened...
I'd like to suggest not trying Topamax. Which I just tried last week. The sulfa in it is a different form and the pharmacy said I might be able to tolerate it. Well, at least I didn't get the giant hives... just really itchy.
I'm just mentioning this in case you are sulfa allergic.
I hope monday comes fast.
