Have you given Clonazepam a try? It works for me. Diazepam does nothing.

...bad the day will be, so I decide between 0.025, 0.5, or 0.75 mg in one go. If I take it the night before, I don't get as good of an effect. FYI: if you're really struggling, 0.5 mg just before bed, followed by the same dose upon waking, works well. Clonazepam also bioaccumulates, as I...

I recently tried Clonazepam to treat my tinnitus, anxiety, and improve my sleep. I found that it does nothing for my severe spikes (7–8 out of 10), but for moderate ringing, it does reduce the volume noticeably. However, it takes hours to take effect, and the relief is only temporary. Once the...

How long have you been taking Clonazepam? What dosage are you on? My doctor mentioned that you might build a tolerance after about six weeks. Did that help reduce your tinnitus? My doctor won’t prescribe it because he says you can build a tolerance to it. However, he’s fine with prescribing...

...My GP prescribed, reluctantly, 300 mg/d in 100 mg doses. Neither ENT at Chesterfield, Derby or Nottingham would prescribe Gabapentin or Clonazepam, so it's interesting that an ENT in the same country at a well known centre is willing to. What dosage of Gabapentin has he prescribed for you...

What dose Gabapentin are you taking? Do you have hyperacusis?

Yes but it's variable with each patient. Clonazepam Gabapentin Cyclobenzaprine Retigabine Nortriptyline Amitriptyline Acamprosate Oxazepam

How much of that did you attribute to Gabapentin? Do you think the addition of Gabapentin makes the Clonazepam more sustainable? It seems those that reach tolerance quicker are on Clonazepam only as opposed to Gabapentin + Clonazepam.

No worries, I've read all your posts regarding your experiences :-) It was Clonazepam.

I had an appointment with Dr. De Ridder last summer. He prescribed: Clonazepam Aripiprazol Deanxit But back then my condition was not as bad as it is now.

Why do you think the Clonazepam and Olanzapine are responsible for bringing the noise down?

...morning with a pain management physician to see how that goes for hyperacusis. So far, there is not much to report, but I took 0.25 mg of Clonazepam for the procedure and have had little to no hyperacusis this morning coming off my Gabapentin dosage last night + this morning's Clonazepam...

...is strange how the ears seem to sync with rhythms. I have tried everything: dry needling, intraoral osteopathy, and acupuncture. I think Clonazepam may have created an echoing new sound and a whistle. At present I am on Carbamazepine. I got up to 600 mg but felt nauseous and sleepy, so I...

I've been on Klonopin off and on for the past 6 years. Always able to taper and get off in past but never on as long as I've been this time. Developed insomnia about a year ago and have been on anywhere from .25 mg to .5 mg each night for sleep. My sleep has gotten better and I fear being...

I’m going through a rough patch at the moment, mate. Clonazepam has lost some of its effectiveness, and I’m hesitant to increase the dosage. I have a question you might be able to help with. The original study mentioned that after a certain number of weeks, the TFI (Tinnitus Functional Index)...

Doing WAY better thanks to Clonazepam, it softens my tinnitus/reduces my anxiety. I recommend it to those that need some relief sometimes.

I agree. Mirtazapine is unreal. 7.5 mg knocked me out when I went through my spike.

...cochlear issue, from describing my symptoms to him. He wants to put me on Gabapentin for 6 months as I’d explain even just 0.5 mg of Clonazepam basically shuts the reactivity down. He didn’t have an issue with a low dose of Clonazepam either, stating he understands my concerns, but reminded...

My tinnitus got worse in 2008. In 2010 I was prescribed Clonazepam. My ENT advised me to take 2x 0.5 mg tablets everyday for one week, then reduce the dose to every other day the second week. Afterwards, I have only taken Clonazepam when my tinnitus is severe - usually for just a day. I have...

Hi @andrew israel. You have almost identical timeframe and story as mine. It could be withdrawal from Clonazepam. What dose did you taper from and how long did you taper?

...a benzodiazepine. It's not without its own tolerance and possible side effects, though. Hopefully you can continue to get a benefit on that 0.25 mg Clonazepam dose while taking it every day. That's equal potency to my Lorazepam 0.50 mg dose, but I don't take it daily in trying to avoid...

Tinnitus Worse During Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril) Taper Spike in Tinnitus After Tapering Off Clonazepam (Klonopin)

Clonazepam can be very effective at lowering tinnitus for some people but it should not be used regularly, as dependency is likely to set in which can cause problems. Providing Clonazepam is used with caution, I see nothing wrong with it if a person finds it helps their tinnitus. The only...

That's interesting. A multi-pronged attack on it, but yet no permanent changes? Or are there any success stories? I am not sure what caused mine; I was given a few treatments all at once by a dodgy old medical doctor who specialized in "naturopathy." I feel it was a combination of far too many...

I use this combo once a week or so for 1-2 days. It seems to work better and last longer when Gabapentin and Clonazepam are taken together at the same time.

...2013, and it was really, really bad—I was sure I was going to end it all. But now, 12 years later, nothing that drastic has happened. Plus, I’m 68, and my wife has a 100% survivor benefit on my pension. Sure, my family would prefer me to be alive, so I think I’m just going to stick with...

Hi, you say that Clonazepam lowers your tinnitus down. What is your baseline tinnitus like? 24/7 loud?

...it helps more than 10%. I can go from feeling high anxiety to low anxiety, and that dosage is half the potency of an equal size dose of Clonazepam and Alprazolam (Xanax). I tried other recommended supplements that didn't work. Neither did TCA or SSRI antidepressants. Placebo effect doesn't...

...steadily for a week now, and I'm starting to fear its going to stay. The only thing I can think of that might have contributed to this is Clonazepam. I was prescribed it in November for anxiety and took it on an as-needed basis. This ended up being about twice a week (0.5mg each time) if...

Both those people posted once and never mentioned it again. Clonazepam Quiets tinnitus: a randomised crossover study with Ginkgo Biloba

...reactive Morse code beeps over white noise sounds, too @Nick47. It's a total nightmare, isn’t it? Have you found anything else medication-wise that helps? It saddens me to say this, but Clonazepam is definitely losing its effectiveness for me, and I take it three times a week max, usually twice.

Thank you. I previously tried Nortriptyline, but it caused a significant spike in my tinnitus (at least, I believe that was the cause), so I didn't continue with it. I'm planning to speak to my GP tomorrow about getting some Gabapentin.

You have everything a person could wish for. Take Clonazepam for anxiety until the Susan Shore Device comes out in a couple of years, and live the rest of your life feeling blessed. You can do it!

...good I think. Have not yet mustered up the courage to return to the gym though. Just got prescribed Gabapentin 300 mg x 2 per day and Clonazepam 0.5 mg before sleep by another ENT. Questions: - I don't want to use the Clonazepam everyday like prescribed as I am scared of addiction to...

I agree, opinions on Clonazepam are quite mixed. Fortunately, it has helped whenever my tinnitus is severe and doesn't reduce after 2 to 3 days. Taking 2x 0.5 mg Clonazepam tablets usually reduces it over 12 hours to a more comfortable level or complete silence. I take it once or twice a month...

Is Deanxit helping you? Do you take it as a one-off, and how long does it help you get rid of symptoms? Thanks!

Benzos can sometimes cause tinnitus if abruptly stopped. Two benzos (Alprazolam & Clonazepam) reduce tinnitus in most people, but not all. The rest do nothing. Gabapentin can reduce tinnitus in 20-30% of patients, with most responders having acoustic trauma-precipitated tinnitus.

I spoke with De Ridder yesterday. He recommended Flupentixol, Aripiprazole, LDN + Clonazepam. He was straight talking saying fFupentixol can cause tardive dyskinesia, which can be very hard to get rid of and kept emphasising I must take Clonazepam. Have you had any side effects from Flupentixol?

For how long had you taken Clonazepam before your tinnitus onset? After stopping Clonazepam, is it wise to use supplements and BDNF medicines right away? Or should you let the body heal first and, if so, for how long?

meds like mirtazapine, clonazepam, Seroquel can help with sleep issues, I find that if I manage to sleep, my brain does a bit of recovery and recuperation. Meds are Band-Aid, I know, but can help cope and promote sleep.

...Gabapentin did not seem to work. Again, thank you for your reply. I am very sorry that you suffer from such severe tinnitus because of Clonazepam. I truly hope your tinnitus fades and that, at worst, you return to your pre-Clonazepam levels. That seems to be the case for many benzo induced...

...to know a physician from years before, when I lived in the same area 30 years earlier. He was an intern at that time. He prescribed Clonazepam for me, which I took for a few weeks before discontinuing because it started making me feel a bit loopy. Over time, my condition has progressively...

...you still take Deanxit from time to time? I was prescribed it by Dr. De Ridder but I am scared of the tardive dyskinesia side effect as it is irreversible. Were you also taking Clonazepam every day when taking Deanxit? I also have Flunazirine with Catapressan but am unsure if that is any...

I think Clonazepam affects both GABA-A and GABA-B receptors whereas Diazepam affects only GABA-A. This is why at times switching from Clonazepam to Diazepam doesn't work. Also, there are studies showing Clonazepam effectiveness for tinnitus but not Diazepam. Diazepam is definitely safer and...

...at a time at first, and now it’s down to seven. I only call for a refill about once every 3-4 months now, and every single time, he tries to give me a lecture. I tried to ask about Clonazepam, and he dismissed me with, ‘It’s the same as Lorazepam; they all work the same.’ I would love to...
