    I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore. I reached habituation and then the rug was pulled from under my feet and now I’m worse off than I’ve ever been. I keep getting new tones because my nervous system is shot. I can’t calm down, can’t stop obsessing, researching, crying.

    I didn’t stay away very long. I don’t know how to get through this. The distortions are driving me crazy. Clonazepam made it temporarily louder. Vomiting daily. Crying all the time. I’m so scared

    @BrOKeN_1 Thanks for the insight, I really appreciate it. I haven’t been able to pick it up yet because my pharmacy and their warehouse are apparently out of stock, so I have to try to find a different pharmacy that has it and then wait for my psychiatrist to send in a prescription there. The...

    I’m going to try to stay off of here for a little while. I know anxiety is not the cause of my tinnitus but it sure as hell is making it sound 10x worse right now. I need to stop fixating and calm my nervous system down because I’m in a really bad place. I’ll check back in at some point...

    Along with the gabapentin, I got prescribed clonazepam today. I’m scared due to risks of both, however they are only for me to take as needed when my anxiety is severe, not consistently/daily. So I think I’ll be okay. Don’t comment anything suggesting otherwise lol, thanks

    @DimLeb It’s not ‘just’ anxiety. It’s so severe and debilitating, I can’t stop vomiting multiple times a day and crying all day. Nothing is helping. If I don’t have the support of medication I don’t think I’ll be here much longer

    Is gabapentin safe for tinnitus? My psychiatrist really wants me to take it right now because I’m so severely anxious but I’m scared of worsening even more

    I need my fan to sleep but the distortions scare me so much. I’ve vomited 3 days in a row from anxiety and I can’t stop crying all day every day. I don’t know how to get through this anymore

    The thing causing me the most issues rn is dysacusis. I keep getting more distortions over my fan and it gives me a lot of anxiety. Does this usually improve?

    Hi @Hardwell, long time no see. Thanks for taking the time to write to me. It’s oddly comforting seeing some familiar people who were with me at my worst. It’s been really hard dealing with the loss of habituation and the new distortions/tones but I’m doing my best to plug along. Hopefully I...

    Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone. It means more than you know. I turn 25 in a little less than a month and hope I’ll be feeling better by then. I was a scared 22 year old when I first got T. Now I’m a scared near 25 year old… lol
