Considering stopping Diamox on Day 1 of the Trek

Hey there, I just started the EBC Trek today. I’ve been taking Diamox since yesterday, so far I had 3x doses à 125mg.

Since I started taking it I have heavy side effects like constant nausea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, diarrhea etc.

Today I thought it was getting better but after a nap in the teahouse I woke up super nauseous again and 0 appetite and I had to leave the dinner table due to the food smell and me getting nauseous.

The bloating, stomach pain and diarrhea is also still there.

It is unfortunately at a point where I am considering to stop taking Diamox because it severely affects my trek etc.

Can someone tell me if I should stop taking it?
