So this website says Diamox, the diuretic acetazolamide, is toxic to the inner ear? Acetazolamide side effects and how to avoid them And lots of people get tinnitus from it? I already have mild tinnitus, I don't want it to get worse. What gives? How is this an inner-ear-problem medicine? Sounds like the opposite A ENT doctor just prescribed it for me, with the idea that it MAY help my symptoms. Though honestly, if I have Meniere's it's very atypical and mild and comes with no hydrops. Should I even at all try this medicine?
Hi EAO, I would also be cautious. I once got a diuretic also by my ENT doctor because some people see improvement with MD..Not so me, one tablet, vertigo the same day. I am also cautious with diuretic herbal infusions and asparagus. I once checked my intake of potassium and take it together with magnesium. And I restrict my sodium intake. Fine for me. I have had water retention only once in my life after my big surgery in 2022, but no problem with vertigo or any other symptoms of MD. Best wishes Lilja
