Mine was caused by a fistula behind my ears. I have davf caused by residual damage from a cvst stroke that I had 4 years ago. Now I have intracranial pressure so severe I need to use a rollator whenever I walk.

I believe mine was caused by an overdose of Klonopin and Risperdal. I've found case reports that have linked Risperdal to IIH at regular doses, so I'm sure an overdose would definitely contribute to it.

Mine is secondary to MS. Initially we though it was weight related, but I lost 100 pounds and it didn't improve.

My gynecologist believes mine was caused by my IUD (Mirena). I had it removed but my symptoms still persist even after having a shunt implanted.

Mine was caused by birth control, and worsened by my weight. Had a lumbar puncture to reduce pressure and stopped BC back in '17 or '18, thought it wasn't coming back. But this year the symptoms are coming back, I'm guessing because the weight hasn't dropped. That's interesting about the ssri though, did your doctor suggest that could be the cause? I'm also on one. Hoping you find your answers āœØšŸ™

no, my doctor said it's not known to cause it. But I've done a ton of research on the inet and there are quite a few cases of iih linked to antidepressants and seroquel. And after I got off buspar, my optic nerve swelling decreased, its not gone but its a little better. My doctor says mine is probably linked to my weight I just dont think so lol idk. My mri isnt until September Uhg
