    Taurine and Tinnitus

    I was thinking of trying Taurine, since that's one thing I haven't tried yet. My tinnitus is spiking so bad today and I haven't a clue why. You know "what did I eat that's different" "what did I drink that was different" "what supplement did I take or not take"? I truly get to a point where I...

    Acid Reflux. GERD. Medication That's Safe with Tinnitus?!

    Lot of info and recently discovered info on the Vagus Nerve, really interesting and plan on reading more about it. Enemas are not an option for me, especially coffee, I'll only take that one way. I'm not poopoo'ing anyone's success with them, or theories on them, just not for me.

    Acid Reflux. GERD. Medication That's Safe with Tinnitus?!

    I did basically what you've done, and no acid reflux, no esophageal spasms, and reduced my "silent reflux" to almost no issue. Read here about "silent reflux", https://www.refluxgate.com/silent-reflux-symptoms. I didn't have the belching darn it, could have at least had fun with that :( My T...

    Ringing Worse for Last 2 Days (Possibly Because of Black Cohosh or SAMe)

    Ok, I best stick with the 5htp I'm taking, no spikes with that. In fact, I can got to bed at night with no "sound spa" on, just a clock that plays rain sounds by homedics. Sorry I didn't come back to this thread. I didnt realize I had replies. Thanks to everyone. On another thread I...

    5-HTP, Taurine, or Something Else Stopped My Loud Ringing for a Brief While

    Last night the loudness was spiked but I realized how much salt I added to a soup that already had boullion on it. Then a lot of sunflower seeds so I think I blew my chance of the volume going down again. I took my usual supps lastnight, 5htp, Taurine, Magnesium and that's all, had to use my...

    5-HTP, Taurine, or Something Else Stopped My Loud Ringing for a Brief While

    Just the 1000 mg and it's supposed to be one a day, but I am doing 2 right now. Just took one about an hour ago, so we'll see if it affects my "volume" ;)

    5-HTP, Taurine, or Something Else Stopped My Loud Ringing for a Brief While

    Thank you Lane, I think you hit the nail on the head. I know there is something about it that might be able to be adjusted, just haven't figured it out, yet;) That's a "darned if you do, and darned if you don't" because there are some way positive effects. Yes, too much caffeine jittery, good...

    5-HTP, Taurine, or Something Else Stopped My Loud Ringing for a Brief While

    Ok, I decided to just take the Taurine this a.m. with my other supps like Magnesium. I want to see if my T "turns down" just using that. If not, I'll for sure know it's the 5htp, or the combo. I know yours worked with just the htp but it also had some other supps with it as well;) Hope we...

    5-HTP, Taurine, or Something Else Stopped My Loud Ringing for a Brief While

    Ok, yes, mine is the 24/7 and the only regular changes I have is it spikes up super-powered but I just like grip the chair I'm sitting in and wait for it to pass as it always has in about 30 seconds?? It is way scarey because that loud and I would..I don't know what I'd do. I did just recently...

    5-HTP, Taurine, or Something Else Stopped My Loud Ringing for a Brief While

    I just want to say, right now I am feeling kind of scared of the 5htp. I read a lot on these things, and sometimes I think I'd rather suffer with T than try some supplements. That's why I won't take any drugs from a doctor, they all made me feel sick (to explain in short) and feel worse than...

    5-HTP, Taurine, or Something Else Stopped My Loud Ringing for a Brief While

    I'm with you, but I wanted to ask if your T is the steady kind, non-stop, or have you had breaks from it before? Mine turned "down" again lastnight, that's 3 nights in a row. It's back this a.m. but just going to "easy does it" for a bit, and then take the taurine and 5htp. I did some reading...

    Anyone Tried 5-HTP, L-Tryptophan, GABA to Calm and Support Sleep?

    I noticed a pretty big change in my anxiety since I started magnesium supplements. Since it has helped calm me down, although I still have a spit-fire temper that scares me, the supps have helped. So now I am working on my T with supps, which are the 5htp, and the Taurine, so far. I also have...

    5-HTP, Taurine, or Something Else Stopped My Loud Ringing for a Brief While

    Wow, I see so many more posts on the 5htp. I need to go read those threads. It's been 3 or so hours since I took my dose of 5htp, and Taurine. My ears, I just realized, are not at the typical high volume. I wish there was a way to measure that here at home. Anyway, I could have chimed in on...
