I've got a Diamox question as well for anyone who is knowledgeable --

I was prescribed Diamox for a Sierra trip but was given the 500 mg extended release capsules. Given the experiences I've read about this high of a dose, I'd like to start with something lower. Is the powder in the capsules edible by itself or will it make me vomit from the flavor? I could further repackage into another capsule, but I'd rather save the effort if possible. Thanks.
