Hello, I was recently prescribed Amphetamine for ADHD. I think it may be causing a spike in the noise from my tinnitus. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, did your tinnitus return to its usual level after you stopped taking the drug? If it did, how long did that take? It is possible...

The Zoloft was also not working for my depression anymore. We switched to Prozac because it was an easy switch before switching to other drug families but since it's so similar to Zoloft, I don't know it it's going to work. I've only been on it for a few days. I know sometimes, because we are...

Tried it, I couldn't handle it, even at the smallest dose imaginable, my whole day was ruined from being a walking zombie on that stuff. I even people who can handle it.

Sorry, not following the reference or statement. You have to forgive me if I should, at 66, I sometimes feel like I come from a different world.

I gained a lot of weight on Nortriptyline back in the 80s. I don't know if that's common but it was quite a lot. I tried Remeron not that long ago and I couldn't tolerate the drowsiness. I tried really hard to make that one work but I was a zombie. Elavil might be a possibility. I did read that...

Hi there, It's been a while since I posted... believe it or not, there is a life after tinnitus. I have a question though. I've been on Zoloft for depression for a long time. In the past few months, my insomnia has become the worst it's ever been so my doctor is wondering if the Zoloft is...

Thanks Bill. Exactly what I asked for.

I took Amitriptyline for 2 days for insomnia at a relatively low dose of 25 mg. It didn't help with the insomnia so I quit it but 2 or 3 days later, I noticed tinnitus in my good ear. I've had tinnitus in my bad ear for some time but never in my good. I'm just wondering if this will go away...

Are there any antibiotic ear drops that are safe? My GP prescribed neomycin, polymyxin and hydrocortisone drops for my ear that had an earache in it a few days ago. On day 3, tinnitus started. I'm really afraid to take them (drops). She said my eardrum looked normal. She removed some wax...

Hi, I don't get to this forum very often these days, off to even more interesting and disturbing health issues it seems like deafness and heart problems. Anyway, I took Augmentin 825-125 mg or a sinus infection over the weekend. I only took 3 pills. 1 on Friday night and 2 on Saturday. I woke up...

I can't see the original video. I'd like to though to see if it has anything new on it that I haven't already seen. Have any of you tried these? They are in the process of developing a hearing aid right now and I'm very interested in that.

I was on it years ago. I gained a lot of of weight on that drug and it didn't do anything positive for me otherwise.

I probably should give my hearing history. I started losing hearing in my late 40s, 16 or so years ago, for unknown reasons. It's sensorineural hearing loss. I started having tinnitus around 11 years ago. The tinnitus started in my right ear which had the worse hearing, again for unknown...

Hi, I haven't posted here for a while as I've become pretty good at dealing with my tinnitus. I had an experience yesterday though that is throwing me for a loop and I could use your feedback badly. Until 2 years ago (2014), my hearing loss was pretty stable. It was very gradually getting...

Hi John, I'm sorry you are having to deal with this. I hope you will be encouraged by letting you know that I am much better. It took time, 4 to 6 months I'd say. I did have some additional hearing loss but it's unclear if it occurred with the original episode I speak of in this thread or a...
