acetazolamide
Treatment for Visual Snow Syndrome
Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces neuronal hyperexcitability by decreasing intracellular and extracellular glutamate levels and modulating neuronal excitation-inhibition balance. By suppressing carbonic anhydrase enzymes, it alters neural signaling and may help mitigate the hyperactive visual cortex and sensory processing abnormalities associated with Visual Snow Syndrome. Its potential therapeutic effect involves reducing neurological hyperactivity and stabilizing aberrant neural network functioning.

It started to help a little after 3 months, but then I stopped topiramate and got on acetazolamide once my diagnosis was confirmed. When the weather and pressure systems are bad, my symptoms get iffy, but it seems to have helped for the most part. I ...View more
