No, I’ve never tried benzos and hope I never will. I take antidepressants for anxiety. Thinking back I've always lived with anxiety but it hasn't been a problem until I got tinnitus. I live a great life and I’m happy about my life today. I’ll always miss some parts of my old life but I'm more humble now and appreciate life more. I feel like I’ll be able to handle whatever life brings me from now on.
Well, benzos do help, as do antidepressants (have taken both). Which one do you take if you don't mind? Perhaps myself or another would benefit? Cymbalta helped for a while, then pooped out on me.
I hear ya about the "old life" and I hope to get some of that back via the Silverstein Hyperacusis Surgery in Florida and the Susan Shore device (hopefully coming out 2022).
@DooDooBrain I’m on Sertraline 50mg for now. I consider to taper next year.
I don't think I ever will go back to my old life. I miss the time I didn't think about sound, it just existed. I’m 32 years old, clubbing and concerts aren't that important anymore.
I have very mild hyperacusis and the tinnitus is also quite low but unfortunately, I can hear it almost everywhere. I’m not that bothered by it anymore.
