Thanks for the reply, I wonder if being on the pregabalin meant that we are more at risk of experiencing spikes from the antibiotics. I'd like to come off the pregabalin ideally but as you probably know that's easier said than done! Also thank you to the person who added punctuation to my...

Hi Brenda thanks for your reply i'm afraid by Spike still has not settled down but that seems to be unusual from what I've been reading most of the stuff I've looked into since then about antibiotics and t is that the penicillins are probably your safest bet if possible hope things went ok for you

Hi guys I've got a question about my tinnitus and how it seems to be progressing. I've had it for several years but a few months ago I got a spike a week after taking doxycycline and that has still not settled down.

Hi, thanks for your reply :) i've decided to stop the ibuprofen, I also take tylenol and have done for a couple of years, i'll see if I can cut that back (not sure if I'll be able to go totally drug free as the pain sometimes disrupts my sleep). Do you know whether tinnitus caused by drug use...

Hi guys, Just looking for some advice. I have been taking Ibuprofen 400 milligrams a night for two or three years for a chronic pain condition. 4 days ago I noticed an increase in my tinnitus. I'm wondering if it's possible that being on ibuprofen for this long could be causing it? Would it...
