...to taper down but went too fast, and all the distortions came back. Unfortunately, my central nervous system couldn’t handle it, so I increased the dosage again. How long did you take Clonazepam before it stopped working? According to Dr. De Ridder, it should work for dysacusis for a lifetime…

Hello, I do not take it regularly. I only use it during very difficult periods, and I usually take 0.25 to 0.5 mg every three days, one to three hours before sleeping. I have never taken it for more than two weeks.

...read elsewhere that you used Xanax to help you while habituating. After my tinnitus worsened last year, my doctor prescribed me .5mg of Clonazepam once per night. I have been taking that now for a little over a year. I feel like I do not need it any longer and continuing to take it makes me...

If your tinnitus is very severe, you can try it. There’s nothing wrong with giving it a shot. Besides Clonazepam, I also take Gabapentin, and it works well for me. Keep an eye on neuroinflammation, follow an anti-migraine diet, and prioritize deep sleep. I wouldn’t rule out sound therapies...

Since 2010. I only take it when the tinnitus is severe. If Clonazepam is taken too often, one can build up a resilience to it. Fortunately, this hasn't happened to me. I wish you well, Michael

I am thinking to use clonazepam same way you do but i am only 29 years old. My tinnitus, visual snow came after methylprednisolone intravenous which damaged my ears and brain it seems very odd reaction. Saturday is my off day where i usually go out meet my gf is it okay to take wednesday and...

I managed to obtain the PDF. The pharmacological treatment includes Amitriptyline, Clonazepam, and Ginkgo Biloba. I only skimmed through the text, but the aim and conclusion of the article are to demonstrate that pharmacological treatments alone are less effective than a combination of...

Hi everyone. Long time reading this helpful forum but first post. I was prescribed with Clonazepam (Rivotril) 0'25 mg three times/day, 2 weeks ago due to my anxiety problems and mild tinnitus mainly. It seems it doesn't lower my tinnitus level. So, after reading other posts, could be better to...

@Nick47, how easy is it to get Clonazepam and Gabapentin prescribed as a new patient in the UK?

clonazepam made it worse for you? how long you took mate and how old are you let me know. i have generalized panic disorder ocd.

Interesting because it seems to be used for the treatment of epilepsy as well. Maybe this is a natural Clonazepam. 😉 I ordered it from hommi.jp.

Has anybody gotten worse tinnitus during benzo (clonazepam) taper?

@ErikaS, I have taken both Clonazepam and Diazepam. In my experience, 1 mg of Clonazepam feels similar to 10 mg of Diazepam. However, there's no way it's equal to 20 mg of Diazepam, as 20 mg would knock me out. This conversion chart lists 1 mg of Lorazepam as equivalent to 0.5 mg of Clonazepam...

...when I decided to stop. However, seven or eight years later, when tinnitus began affecting me in 2017, I started taking small doses of Clonazepam several times per week for four months. After discontinuing Clonazepam, I experienced severe withdrawal symptoms that lasted for over a year. In...

My tinnitus is med induced not noise induced both ears multitonal same since 7 months only got worse what happens if i use clonazepam rest of my life it works for now why did you stop after 2 years

Hello Nes! Does clonazepam help you?

Thank you for your kind words, @Isabella 123. I wish you all the best going forward. Take care, Michael

Is it mild because of Clonazepam? Mine is severe, around 7–8/10, and it is also multitonal. I also have some hyperacusis and dysacusis, along with visual snow. It is terrible—I experience daily panic attacks, and my quality of life is severely affected.

Hey, brother. I have been taking Clonazepam for a couple of years now, but I always try to limit it to just one dose per week at most. It has provided some relief, but I am always cautious with it. I hope you have found some relief too.

I take Clonazepam 1 mg three times a day (1-1-1) and Gabapentin 300 mg twice a day (300-300 mg). In addition, I take Amitriptyline 25 mg as an antidepressant because it is effective for migraines, improves sleep, and is a relatively safe antidepressant. The ototoxicity was caused by Bupropion...

You can’t get Clonazepam in France anymore. It’s now prescribed exclusively for epilepsy, and only neurologists are authorized to prescribe it to patients.

Keep in mind that a general practitioner (GP), ENT, neurologist, or psychopharmacologist is qualified to prescribe Clonazepam. I had a good relationship with my neurologist, who prescribed Gabapentin for me based on a study suggesting synergistic efficacy when combined with Clonazepam. My ENT...

...so adjusting meds and hoping that helps T. Yes, thyroid issues can very much exacerbate or even cause T. Also, switched back to Ativan from Clonazepam. Clonazepam is a heavy hitter and gave me side affects like memory loss and bad depression that I do not experience on Ativan at all...

Anyway, I discovered that Clonazepam completely kills my libido and affects my ability to have an erection. I found a study indicating that: Because of this, I started tapering off Clonazepam yesterday, reducing by one drop every three days (I currently take six drops a day) until I reach zero.

I had a similar experience with Clonazepam back in the 1990s. I took it for a few weeks, it reduced the tinnitus, and after that, I was able to sleep naturally.

...but louder. I've had tinnitus for 15 months or so in my left ear but I was habituated. Due to a different condition I begun to take Clonazepam 5 months ago. The first 3 months I was taking 0.25 mg (half a pill) and then 0.5 mg. I began withdrawal 20 days ago taking 0.375 mg (three quarters...

...Im still living the good days / bad days pattern. Some days my T seems to be more "maskable" than others... The question is... Can I take Clonazepam for a short vacation period? I'm talking about 3, 4...5 days on. No more. What about the dosage? I don't want to change the natural evolution...

I have been taking Clonazepam 0.5 mg for about 2 weeks to help with sleep but decided not to continue because it was not really helping me. After trying to do a rapid taper my tinnitus went through the roof. So I went back up to my original dosage and started a slower taper at 0.125 mg for 5...

@Alberte, Clonazepam reduces tinnitus in 66% of patients. For most, it takes 12–24 hours to lower the volume when taken occasionally. It also helps reduce anxiety, typically within about 2 hours.

Very difficult unless you have Epilepsy!

So, I've been on clonazepam 0.5 mg for a about four months now, and am thinking it's time to taper off. My ENT said I could probably just stop because it's a low dose, but I don't think I want to do that. I've read through the Ashton, although didn't find a specific taper schedule for 0.5...

A saw a spealist earlier this year who put me on 2mg clonazepam and 50mg amisulpride, he told me if I didn't see any improvements in 2 weeks to stop but he didn't explain why, I had no idea it was addictive. I took it for 2 months. I saw my doctor a week a half ago who told me to stop taking it...

100 mg of Gabapentin is a very small dose. It's interesting that it works so well for you!

I believe you’ll find Clonazepam to be much more effective than Ativan. Many people who use Ativan report experiencing rebound anxiety due to its shorter half-life. In my experience, Clonazepam doesn’t cause that kind of rebound effect, and a single daily dose should be sufficient. Are you...

I was put on mirtazapine and my tinnitus has got worse.

I finally got clonazepam prescribed instead of clorazepate! I really hope it will help spikes

You might need some Seroquel and Clonazepam for a while until you get into a new equilibrium.

I have no experience with the drugs you mentioned, but I have a lot of experience with reactive tinnitus. It’s mysterious, but you might be onto something regarding hyperactivity. When my anxiety is lower and I’m out of fight-or-flight mode, the reactive component of my tinnitus usually calms...

Switching to Lorazepam, then? There was a comment a while back in this thread about Dr. De Ridder saying Clonazepam doesn't build tolerance. And apparently, he contradicted that earlier in a podcast speaking to @Hazel, saying, "The body ignores it."

See my ancient post. To be more precise: I had been taking 8 drops of Clonazepam for over a year, following the advice of my oto-neurologist, without any noticeable effect. So, with my oto-neurologist’s approval, I decided to gradually increase the dosage. At 21 drops, I began to experience...

Hi all, I am considering to discuss taking Clonazepam with my doctor, as a last resort. I want to try other things first, but since I am noticing a considerable reduction with Zolpidem, I think there is a good chance that same could happen with Clonazepam. It seems to work for quite many, but...

Many people do this without increasing their dose. They take only what they need and continue to lead fulfilling lives. In any case, I believe something better will become available in the not-too-distant future. Until then, do what you need to do.

Hi my name is Christi. I had tinnitus for about four years now. I was put on clonazepam to help calm down the ringing in both of my ears. I had to change GP doctors since my other one is no longer in practice. He will not write a prescription for my clonazepam for the tinnitus in both ears...

Friends, I got tinnitus from a combination of Clonazepam and Amitriptyline. First, when I stopped Clonazepam, I got tinnitus that was somewhat bearable. Then, when I stopped Amitriptyline, it got three weeks after the last dose so so much worse. It's been now 6 months and the tinnitus is still...

I break my 0.5 mg Clonazepam into six pieces. Each half gives me three pieces, so a full tablet lasts me six days. That’s equivalent to taking 0.5 mg every six days, making it nearly impossible to taper off such a low dose. I even went seven days without it to see what would happen, and I never...

...can be particularly beneficial when used with a good scalp massage. I've read at least one study suggesting a synergistic effect between Clonazepam and Gabapentin that may help with tinnitus. I believe there's already a discussion thread on this site about the combination of Clonazepam and...

My tinnitus has gotten bad enough recently, especially at night, and benzodiazepines like Clonazepam (0.1–0.2 mg, which I break into smaller doses) and Xanax (2–3 mg) are the only things that have helped me get a restful night. So far, I have avoided using them every night. However, I had no...

I have been using Widex hearing aids for sound therapy for about one year. I have mild hearing loss. I also take Clonazepam, 0.25 mg in the morning and 0.25 mg in the evening, along with 50 mg of Zoloft. These medications are part of my daily routine. My tinnitus is a result of loud noise...

That would probably depend on your doctor. I am over here in the Colonies, and Gabapentin is very easy to get prescribed. Clonazepam, unless I am mistaken, belongs to a different class of pharmaceuticals. Most of us end up seeing several doctors to get what we need. Gabapentin can actually make...

...hearing drop was just related to channels and not causing permanent damage, I would have continued. I’m in an awkward predicament now because I felt that Gabapentin helped me by complementing Clonazepam and improving my sleep. However, I know if I go back to the GP, he’ll take me off Clonazepam.

...therapy for tinnitus control: preliminary report That, based on brain imaging, argued that for some types of tinnitus the combination of Clonazepam and Gabapentin works. I have read that some forum members are on this combo, for example @linearb, @Carlos1 and a few others. I have also read...

Hi. I've had tinnitus for 11 months. It was extremely bad at the beginning and I was put on Clonazepam and Lexapro. I got off those after 4 months. I relapsed and got back on the Clonazepam for two months but only .25 mg in the AM. Two weeks ago I got off and now I can't sleep. My Dr...

...and control necessary when using a benzo. I hear what you’re saying; time will tell! I’ve read several articles comparing Ativan and Clonazepam, and what I noted is that Clonazepam is not only more potent but also more widely used as an anticonvulsant than Ativan because of the specific...

I took another 5 mg of Clonazepam. I don’t want to take too much at once; I’m just taking small amounts until it has an effect. I even took 2.5 mg of Morphine, but getting to sleep feels impossible.
