Kilimanjaro National Park

Diamox
Posted: Wed August 8, 2007 06:44 PM UTC

2 Weeks to go until I fly out to tanzania now. I will be climbing the lemosho route from the 4th Septmber.
I will be taking diamox with me but what I wanted to know from the veterans out there is when I should start taking the medicine. I have read that people who take it early on will lose a lot of valuable sleep by staying up all night peeing however, as it is essentially a prophelaxis is taking it as early as possible a good idea or is it better to wait until I feel the effects of the altitude.

Any other info about the drug (or the climb in general) will be greatly appreciated.

I promise this will be my last question!

Thank you in advance

Graham
