    Hello Everyone,
    I've been taking Acetazolamide 250mg twice daily for about three weeks now, and I find that along with additional trips to the bathroom to pee, it also makes me quite constipated. Anyone else found this to be a problem? A few days ago I dropped the dosage to once daily, and found almost immediate relief from the constipation but, my head feels more foggy and my eyes are heavier!? Comments??

    Blessings 2 U all,
    MamaBear
