Hi Cedar,
I'm still taking diamox and yes it's a diuretic and also a sz. med. I've been taking diamox since 1992 or longer and it has done wonders for me. The real name of the drug is "actazolamide" (sp?) I take 1000 mg. a day of the drug and it has made me lose weight since it's a diuretic.
Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
