Hi,
If your diagnosis is
pseudotumor cerebri or IIH as it now called Idiopathic
Intracranial Hypertension then, the treatment of choice would be to first identify possible underlying causes such as obesity, overuse of Vitamin A, or the use of certain medications such as Antiglaucoma, Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors, Loop diuretics, Cardiovascular,
Corticosteroids, Beta-Blockers, Tricyclic Antidepressants, or Antiepileptics.
If any of these medications you should ask your doctor if you could go on a trial without them and see if things improve. Otherwise, the definitive medication of choice would be to start with something such as Diamox or
topiramate and then, consider other solutions as needed.
Your rash may be a reaction to the
Sumatriptan or Tramadol (BTW, I'm not a fan of the Tramadol for treating headaches...not terribly effective and risky in terms of side effects AND high percentage of patients have allergic rashes to the drug).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi
