I think so pretty much. I tried to change from Nortriptyline to Amitriptyline and my Dr. at the time wouldn't change as he said they're so similar. Dry mouth seems the biggest side effect.

it seems nortrip isn't as effective...at least in pain control. odd I know as ami converts into nortrip

Thanks guys

I've been like that for 21 months now and I'm still here. Hang in!

Sometimes I'm awake until 500 am...:(

@jeannie. Sometimes I don't fall asleep until 5:00 am! }:-[

Same with me too Sailorboardman.it really sucks!

"I don't believe in destiny or the guiding hand of fate, I don't believe in forever, or love as a mystical state. I don't believe in the stars or the planets, or angels watching from above, but I believe there's a ghost of chance, we can find someone to love and make it last." Rush

I'm ready for a tinnitus dating site already. I'm seriously ready to try it.

I agree bran360

Yup! doing it right now.

Happy New Year too! You will, after some time, get your life back. It will be a slow process, but you will adapt.

Not really

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS WRITE "even" as "Evan"?? Evan is a name, even is the word you are looking for!

Happy NOW

@nomoredreaming, I'm sorry and I know how you feel about faking a smile, it sucks. I've had to do it a lot lately too. Maybe if we fake it enough, we will finally make it, as "they" say.

I just paint my face with a smile. Joker style

I walk around on my hands, so my frown looks like a smile. };-)

Hope we don't have to.

You may not have to? Somebody has to figure this thing out, at some point.

Knowing my luck there will be a cure after i pass lol

What I wouldn't give, for your little boys hearing!

I did I went to doctor today was just told to take more pain meds.

Then find a new doc...Perhaps an ssri would be helpful?..or Cymbalta that works on pain as well.

Iv booked another appointment for next week to see someone else the receptionist look at like I'm crazy and moaning for nothing.

Yes, it's not much of a life, but I've had some low T days and think, if it can go there once in awhile, why not forever? I may never live long enough, for a treatment or cure, so I have to deal with this monster, as best I can, everyday. Life is certainly far from perfect now, but it's the only life I have.

Sounds like you get a bit of relief from neurotin?

I only use it on extremely rough nights. Maybe once every 4 months or so. It can be ototoxic and increase your T or cause T in some people. I wouldn't use it daily. It has shown no efficacy for the treatment of T. I do use other supplements like, NAC, B complex vitamins, vinpocetine, magnesium with zinc and calcium.

Unfortunately luv, you can't change that. You can only live, the best way you can for now. Maybe, things will improve for you over time?

You gave life to your little ones. Maybe one will go on to do great things for mankind? Kind of like, "It's a wonderful life" story. I Know it's rough, but take it one day at a time. };-)

it can be :/ still lonely Leanne?

It is and it's Christmas soon always lonely

The little person in my pic is a boy lol but don't worry I get that all the time, do you have a family

I'm single now. Used to be married awhile back. No kids. Mom, Sis, Brother and Niece are my immediate family.

Will you be spending Christmas with them,can I ask were abouts are you from

I no what you mean

I past crazy 12 months ago, I'm now coming up on, certifiably insane, after 19 months. I'm not sure what happens at the 24 month mark? Maybe I get to start all over again? Can't wait!

I hope I get hit by a meteor! Let's sit on a mountain together and pray one will slam into us. I'll bring the champagne!

Sounds like a plan sailaboardman

Would like a bit of quiet in mine! };-)

Hi Leanne, I'm sorry you feel this way... I have two little ones too and it's hard at times. But don't say that. God willing things will improve for you and for all of us. Your kids only have one mom and is you!!! Imagine their life without you... Keep strong ... I'm here for you... Feel free to message me even if you only want to vent or be heard ! Love Rina

Leanne. You are not alone we are all in this together and together we will beat this soon.

Same here , fleeting t that didn't go away yet :( so strange and unpredictable

Mines been loud all day and my ears feel very stuffy

Have a guess lol

I'll send you a plane ticket! };-)

Please do ;-)

you have your kiddies :) they give great cuddles... (I know not same) :/

best to come not in winter. it's lovely the other parts of the year.

Lived and worked in NYC for many years. I miss the City buzz, all night bars and dining in the real good places, not tourist traps. You could eat out every night for 50 years and never hit the same place twice. Manhattan rocks!

I love in Florida!!!!
