A spinal tap isn't a treatment, there's medicine like Diamox and Methazolamide to make you urinate the extra fluid off & tell your brain to not make so much cerebral spinal fluid

Depending on your pressure and symptoms, a shunt could be an option for you.

If you're on medicine and you're still needing spinals then it's time to try new meds. Talk to your neuro, surgery is an option for some as well
