Pregabalin helped me with this 2017. The electric noise in the head is the 2nd-heaviest for me.

I may have to give it another other go. My head is so charged lately.

@kingsfan I think with gabapentin, you can't do off/on, because I recall reading that a side-effect to doing that can risk giving you seizures? (stopping cold-turkey). Maybe depends on how many mg. one takes ?

@sakrt I'll have to look into it. I've been taking the smallest dose (100mg) once a day, every other day, for 2-3 doses then stopping for 5-7 days. It seems to lower my tinnitus immediately after it is removed from my system (36 hours or so), and the effect lasts about 12-24 hours (I'll have to monitor exactly how long it lasts). I wonder if it's some sort of slingshot effect on gabba production or what.

@kingsfan 100mg is low dose, so I think you'd be ok. Gabapentin is not a nice drug. Zero effect to T, but helps manage H. Brain-fog and numb. Do you get same side-effects?
@TheDanishGirl Gabapentin may help your spastic click-pain in middle ear. Maybe @kingsfan 's strategy, may help you too?

@sakrt Yea, if I take more than 100mg it gives me trouble with memory and brain fog. That amount also relaxes me, but makes me off balance and drunk feeling, so I stick to the minimum amount.

I'm thinking of opening the capsules and measuring half the dose daily and see what that does. It does have an effect, but only on certain tones - others it doesn't affect. It's all very strange.
