The medication I'm on is a diuretic (Diamox/acetazolamide) - so it doesn't necessarily control how much spinal fluid is produced or absorbed, sort of. But it does relieve the pressure as it limits all your fluids. But then again, she could have something completely different from intracranial hypertension pseudo-tumor cerebri which is what I have. I also was not put on any medication until AFTER my spinal tap so I was at the full 4 times normal amounts when I had my spinal tap - they needed to rule a lot of things out before prescribing.
