Hey everyone!

Hey everyone my name is Logan and I got tinnitus back in March and I think it was caused by a ear infection that I had. It has been really hard to live with it but most times it is not that loud. The tinnitus also caused me to get Derelization/Depersonalization and I think it mainly has to do with the medicine the doctor gave me for my tinnitis. So not only have I had tinnitis all year I also have DR/DP which really sucks. But anyway I just wanted to introduce myself!

 

Derelization/Depersonalization makes you feel like you are dreaming and that you and nothing is real. It is really weird and hard to explain but the best explanation is a dream like feeling. I could go into more detail but since it doesn't really have to do with tinnitus I won't.

 

No I'm not on the medicine anymore I stopped them quite a few months ago. I usually don't have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep but I will definitely try those if I ever need to, thank you!

 

Hey Logan, i used to have derealization for about a year three years back. I have t since 4 weeks now and yesterday i thought i really needed to get a whole night of sleep and used about 15mg of trazodone. While I slept well, better than ever since i got t and had a great day, I started to feel a bit derealized again now in the evening.
I hope it will vanish soon because i know what kind a hell DR is.
I hope you are doing fine and advise you the stay away from meds as much as possible. I am even considering stop using melatonin for awhile until I'm certain DR faded.

 

I have dereal/and depersonal... And when it hits, its horrible. Thats the main reason i was put on klonopin, so when that happens i pop one and it takes care of it. I get while driving in anxious situations, the worst time you can get it. Lexapro overall helped take care of that too. But i think besides T, it is the most scariest feeling in the world.
