...300 mg of Gabapentin in January and increased the dosage to 900 mg by the beginning of March. During this period, I had taken 0.5 mg of Clonazepam a few times, perhaps three or four times, which significantly reduced my tinnitus for around 5-6 hours. However, at the end of February, I began...

Many people say clonazepam helps them tremendously, but for me it's my ADHD meds. Maybe my ADHD is what makes habituation harder?

Besides Clonazepam, Gabapentin helps a little, and Cyclobenzaprine as well when I tried it. I've been using a cocktail approach.

Do you take Clonazepam regularly? Does it actually help with tinnitus? I’ve considered it as well, although doctors in our country are very reluctant to prescribe it.

I got tinnitus about 1.5 years ago, and I started seeing the first signs of improvement after beginning Clonazepam, following 10 months of pure hell with loud tinnitus. Now, at 1.5 years, I still have it, but I have a lot of hope for the future, and it doesn’t bother me nearly as much anymore. I...

...I am also going to talk with my GP next week about going back on the Shulman Protocol, which includes Gabapentin and a very low dosage of Clonazepam. I used to take 0.5 mg three times a day, and it kept my tinnitus at a tolerable level all the time. I weaned off the Clonazepam during COVID...

...So I got afraid instantly, and tried to think if that noise was loud enough to hurt my fragile ears. I want to specify that I'm on a Clonazepam withdrawal... And my tinnitus is worsening every week: I took 0.5mg Clonazepam for 3 months and I'm following a tapering plan for another 3 months...

...my tinnitus was extremely loud and constantly changing. I thought it was going to be permanent, but after three months, and after starting Clonazepam, it finally went down. My spike lasted from July to October 24. Now, eight months later, my tinnitus has settled at a baseline that actually...

Thank you for sharing! Do you experience days without tinnitus, or is it generally just quieter? Are you able to drive?

Clonazepam is effective for me, and I have never experienced any sudden increase in my tinnitus. If you fall asleep and your hissing starts, it's easy to blame the medication since it might seem louder. Mirtazapine works well for me; it's my preferred medication with a dosage of 2-3 mg along...

Are you still cycling between Clonazepam and Valium? Weren’t you doing 3 days of Clonazepam before switching. I’m still debating whether to just take it everyday as my situation hasn’t improved. I feel worse if anything.

Thanks, @Wouter De Blaere! How have Deanxit and Aripiprazole been working for you without Clonazepam? Could you share any common side effects you've experienced? Thanks, Nick

Is Clonazepam losing its effectiveness in lowering your tinnitus and anxiety? Does it seem like your tinnitus is rebounding to a new higher baseline after coming down off the Clonazepam? It seems like that might be happening with my Lorazepam (Ativan), despite taking only one 0.5 mg pill every...

Took .5 Clonazepam and 10 mg of d8. I know none of this will help with a possible spike but at least now I have some chance to fall asleep..

There's a thread about Carbamazepine that you might find helpful. Some people report benefits from using it, while others don't. A few members here take it in combination with Clonazepam, though it's worth noting that it can cause negative side effects for some individuals.

I take between 0.5 mg and 0.75 mg of Clonazepam on Wednesdays and Saturdays, giving me two days of near normality. Two issues with this: my reactive tinnitus comes back with a vengeance the days after, and I also get rebound depression when off Clonazepam, where I'm seriously down in the dumps...

...a few days it was horribly loud the majority of the time. Probably like 8/10 on a 1 to 10 scale. After going to a psychiatrist he gave me Clonazepam which has quieted the tinnitus completely at times, lowered it in general to when it is occurring to a level of about 2-3/10 and made my...

Hi Bart, Hope you are OK. May I ask which ENT prescribed you clonazepam? Thank you.

I never stopped Rivotril. You should not stop it if you take Deanxit. Rivotril counters an annoying side effect of Deanxit (Parkinson spasms).

Do you think there are risks in taking Deanxit alone without Clonazepam? I also got it prescribed by Dr. De Ridder but I am a bit scared about the drug given the number of countries that have decided not to market it. What do you think helps you the most between the two?

It took me four long months to get off Clonazepam. I’m happy to be off it now because I felt like a zombie for a year and a half. This medication helps you cope only because it turns you into a zombie—nothing more. That being said, I’ve adjusted to my tinnitus, TTTS, and dysacusis in the best...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I had read that Clonazepam can reduce tinnitus sounds and GP prescribed for me. I took 0.25mg the other day and for about 3 days my tinnitus seemed really good. Wake up on the fourth day and it is back with a vengeance. The question is whether I should take it...

Struggling with clonazepam-induced tinnitus

...and they gave me daily therapy that was so much better than everything I tried before.. Sulpride caps 50 mg 3x2 / Clozapine 25 mg 3x1 / Clonazepam 2 mg 2x1 / Paroxetine 20mg 1+1/2+1/2 / Amitriptylin 25 mg 2x1. Now, I can peacefully sleep, eat and enjoy my life l do not take Xanax at all and...

Clonazepam was a lifesaver for me. I had a massive spike in January 2015, just as I was starting an academic refresher course that was required for me to continue my career. I was in bad shape and out of town. Luckily, I knew someone from my training period, so I called them, and they gave me a...

When having a bad tinnitus spike that lasts for days, is the best option to take Clonazepam twice a week to ensure it decreases?

I take 0.5 mg of Rivotril (Clonazepam). I’ve tried going without it, but that doesn’t work for me. The tinnitus isn’t very loud, but I have mild dysacusis at certain frequencies, along with TTTS. However, after 14 months, I’m slowly habituating to it all. I live a normal life and protect my ears...

Eye floaters… Have you ever been tested for a Bartonella or Babesia infection? Do you have any other symptoms besides tinnitus?

...been really interested to see the difference in progress over the last year since obtaining reactive tinnitus/distortions had I not used Clonazepam. Sadly, I’ll never have an answer. I’ve resorted back to using 7.5 mg of Mirtazapine for sleep, and I’m going to do my best to try and stop...

Just another update, the clonazepam has continued to make a huge difference both in tinnitus sound and sleep received at night.

...last five nights. Regarding Z-drugs, according to the equivalency chart, my typical max dose of 3 mg of Zolpidem is equal to 0.075 mg of Clonazepam, and I often take about half that much. Also, Zolpidem has a much shorter half-life, so your system is not under the influence nearly as long...

4 hrs 10 mins of sleep last night, while taking Ambien cr and clonazepam, which I still take nightly. Good exercise and ate hours b4 sleep

So, are you homebound? I’m trying to figure out if I have reactive tinnitus. I did a lot over the holidays, but nothing seemed to affect my tinnitus until about three nights ago. Now, I’m going through a pretty bad spike. I was playing some games on small Amazon speakers (which I had been using...

I have been taking just a very small dose of 0.5 mg Clonazepam or Xanax before sleep for just over a week now, my doctor said at this low dosages I can take it up to one month without the need to taper down afterwards. Is it safe to stop taking it after 1.5 week 'cold turkey'?

...and a treatment/cure. What Happened? I won't go into too much detail in my story, but the condensed version is I began taking Klonopin (Clonazepam) after a noise exposure/panic attack in January 2022, and I got this weird electrical noise in my head. I had had mild tinnitus since 2016 that...

If I find a doctor who will prescribe me and won't ever taper me off against my will, then at what point will I run to problems? Will it always work if I just up the dose? What to expect other than some amnesia?

My tinnitus has gotten better since being completely off of Clonazepam, but updosing will likely only lead to more severe withdrawals when coming off, as you have noted through "kindling", which is a very real phenomenon. The longer you are on it, the longer it will take your body to heal. It is...

I cannot provide a full answer, but I was using 1.5 mg of clonazepam once daily at 9 PM before bed. Over time, I tapered down to zero. About two months after tapering to zero, my tinnitus worsened, likely going from moderate to severe, though it is hard to remember exactly. I then went back up...

Yes. Mirtazapine 22.5 mg/day and Gabapentin ~600 mg/day. When my tinnitus is bad, I combine Clonazepam, Betahistine, and Deanxit - or Prochlorperazine.

Hi, thank you so much for your reply. It truly means a lot. In my case, I wasn’t on any medication when the noise began. It started suddenly one day, right in the center of my head, and it changes depending on my posture or even small movements. I’ve recently started taking Lyrica...

Hi all, Clonazepam is basically a sedative, which is why I was told to take it in the evening. My job requires a very high degree of mental acuity, and as I get older, age takes its toll. Back in 1992, I was literally getting zero sleep. It was ridiculous—you can’t function without sleep. I...

Short term Clonazepam can help both tinnitus and hyperacusis tremendously. Long term it can/will fuck everything up. It's very hard to find middle way or a viable way. Be VERY careful.

...in the titles. How is your tinnitus now? Has it changed in the intervening months? Thanks for your reply -- my doctor blithely suggested Clonazepam (with 4 refills!), but I don't think she's thinking about the possibility of developing tolerance, etc... The idea of making my tinnitus worse...

I already had moderate tinnitus and hyperacusis before taking benzodiazepines. Now, as I taper off, it’s getting unbearable. But staying on them isn’t working well either. I don’t know what to do.

1.5mg of clonazepam + 5mg of thc and I wasn't thinking abt T for 2 days. My Hyperacusis also went away for ~40 hours. Experimenting lol

I guess Clonazepam is effective because it has another action on 5HT1, based on this paper. It also affects 5HT2A, which most of you should be aware of. By the way, I have read the entire thread. I don't like what I see, and I don't know what to do. In an ideal world, I would take Clonazepam...

I’m currently on Clonazepam 0.5 mg, and my plan is to taper it slowly: first to 0.375 mg, then 0.25 mg, and finally to 0.125 mg. I hope to do this over about two weeks. Ten days ago, I had a spike and temporarily increased the dose to 2.0 mg, so getting back down to 0.5 mg feels like progress...

Can Clonazepam help hyperacusis? Or just tinnitus.

I took clonazepam and I'm having a noticeable level of reduction in my noise. I don't want to put a % on it, I'll just say its significant.

down to 2/3 of 0.5 clonazepam after 1 1/2 year everyday use. only small cuts (5% every 2 weeks max), but T seems to worsen every time. (1)

I've been taking clonazepam since 5 April. At the .5 mg level before bed and at when I wake. At peak, I'd say it gives a 50% sound reduct.

...is low, I still wake up, but on those nights, I don’t hear it and can fall back asleep quickly. For me, Melatonin and occasionally Clonazepam (0.25 mg every three or four days during bad periods) have been a godsend. I still wake up, but at least falling asleep is no longer an issue, and the...

I keep wondering if its worth getting Clonazepam... just for some relief. I keep trying to avoid given my cause and that of others. Tired...
