I wonder if the stress from the wellbutrin taper is doing more damage to my ears than the meds themselves. It's all so confusing.

Was very anxious about a stomachache today. Thought it could be something serious. T shot up. Will have to learn to manage my hypochondria.

Been going back and forth about wearing ear protection while driving. A very loud truck drove past me today. Will wear muffs from now on.

Took a warm bath today - very relaxing. My T seemed softer. Seems stress has a lot to do with T, or at least how loud I percieve it.

Anxiety about t is high. Took ear plugs in and out sitting on my patio in the rain. Felt a slight pop in one ear. T is same, still worried

Hard to sleep. Took 12.5mg of doxylamine last night. Got to sleep but woke up a lot. T seems about the same this morning.

T and H got progressively worse today. They're screaming in both ears. Trying to hang in there :'(

Two spikes in 24 hours. H is screaming. Very discouraged.

Cleaning fish tank with my dad. Got some gravel in the disposal. He turned it on to test it. Plugged my ears - still have another spike :(

When I smoke weed, T seems louder but it goes back down. I've been smoking every day and still seeing improvement. But I will cut back a bit

Just found out my brother has had T for years and it's never bothered him (lucky). I will try to learn from him.

Weird thing about my spike: my whine is louder but my cricket noises are still the same. Maybe the former is noise and latter is medication.

T spike from last night's glass breaking incident still going strong. I'll give it a few days.

Found a scorpion in my kitchen tonight. Immediately went to kill it, knocking over and breaking a glass jar. T spike but not too bad.

Starting my taper for wellbutrin. Feeling confused w/ aches in spine and muscles. This could be due to lack of sleep. Hope this goes well.

Skipped a dose of wellbutrin yesterday - tinnitus seemed better but got horrible brain zaps. Will talk to my psych about tapering today.

I noticed I tend to ruminate on events that maybe cause spikes. Trying to get into the space of "It happened, it's done, learn if you can".

Tried some CBD gummies yesterday + today. Doesn't seem to affect T but it does calm me down.

Forgot my earmuffs today when I went out - got out of my car and walked past my neighbors doing really loud construction. Maybe minor spike.

Got a weird new lower tone today out of nowhere, but also seems like it made my high pitched whine softer. My flutters haven't changed.
