Just for clarification, I've been told by a pharmacist and my primary care doctor that increased frequency of urination is not a side effect, it is one the primary ways that the drug works, by relieving pressure in the system. It will occur.
Did Kilimanjaro this year.Took diamox.Made me really sick.I had pins and needles in my face and hands.I felt dehydrated even after making sure I get my minimal 4litres in a day.
If i go with a large group, would I be allowed to go at a slower pace, should I have symptoms of altitude sickness or be forced to go at the same speed/ not allowed to summit (providing the symptoms are mild enough to handle)?
The day hikes are done at a VERY slow pace, by design, so speed should not be an issue. On the summit attempt, we will separate people into different subgroups if necessary so that we reach the top around the same time, at sunrise.

Think I had only two doses and it made me unable to urinate. Quite a problem until it wore off.
