Steve,

As we have discussed, I take a quarter pill X 2 the first day because I get to feeling funky taking a half. Taking a half does cut the side effects way down but does not eliminate them.

Just because you are taking Diamox, it doesn't mean all the AMS symptoms miraculously go away. I regularly have problems sleeping, especially above 11,000', intermittent problems with appetite at 14,000' mid-day and appetite in general if I over exert myself...this year it occurred when I summitted both Pickering and Cloudripper...my appetite always returns by morning.
