Seizure Prevention
"I am taking carbamazepine for seizures, but found that I was gaining a lot of weight (22 pounds in 2 months). After doing much search on the web I found an article where a doctor did research on 15 patients that had weight gain on carbamazepine and found that by taking the Acetazolamide the patients were able to lose the weight they had gained and maintained the weight lost.  
Today is day 2 on the Acetazolamide and I am sick to my stomach, feeling a bit dizzy and withdrawn. I would love to lose the weight that many of you have mentioned, but not sure if I want to deal with the side effects to achieve this."
