...consider the pharmaceutical route. Personally, I take a daily combination of Mirtazapine, Gabapentin, Magnesium, and Alpha-lipoic acid. When my symptoms are very severe, I add clonazepam for a day or two. If your sister hasn't yet seen an audiologist or ENT, that should be done as a routine...

Do you get permanent improvements at all with any of these cocktails, and how much relief do they bring you? Like out of ten, what are the before and after scores? By the way, I just watched Dr. Dirk De Ridder's video. It is very depressing to realize that a real cure is not coming.

Brian P seemed to have quite a few demons haunting him that pre-existed tinnitus. The Clonazepam adverse reaction could be causal but it must be considered within a network of his other issues.

...this and consult with your GP." Well, he’d recently prescribed me a box at my request, so I have it in the draw. I took a whole 1 mg of Clonazepam tonight, it’s definitely losing its effectiveness compared to initially; worked for a couple of hours, then just made me super groggy and...

Have you tried Nortriptyline?

Did you visit Dr. Dirk De Ridder? I visited this week and he prescribed Deanxit, Clonazepam and Clonidine. I will try them. Any feedback about these meds?

You’re only four months into this round. Remember TPP - Time, Patience, Protection. With time, things will improve. Be patient. Hold onto faith and hope. You will feel better, friend.

Quick update, 2.5 months since onset: I’ve been feeling much better since I started taking clonazepam (coincidence? Probably). Last night, I went to sleep and literally forgot to play my cricket sounds—I slept all night in complete silence. Right now, I’m in a quiet room, and all I hear is...

...supplements, patches and potions. Not a penny. Counselling can help with the distress, as well as an antidepressant like Mirtazapine maybe. As for volume reduction, Clonazepam and Gabapentin help some. The former is dependence forming. Depending where you are, you could enrol in a clinical...

Yep, screwed here because of being pushed on Clonazepam. Now I'm dead on it and really dead off it.

It sounds almost the same as mine. I can mask it a bit with a white noise masker in my ear, but not always. Once a week I take (a treat for myself) Clonazepam 0.5 mg. It takes my tinnitus perception away for almost a whole day (8 hours). I take this time to relax and do some homework. Greets, W

...despite asking for it. 0.125 mg is a very low dose, so it may be the Gabapentin doing most of the good work. Plus, if you upped to 0.5 mg Clonazepam with Deanxit and it did have less effect on you, I expect Gabapentin is doing most of the work. I don't know if Gabapentin can be taken with...

I am confused, last Monday Dr. De Ridder told me that someone can build dependency, but NOT tolerance to Clonazepam. I am surprised as many people on Tinnitus Talk talk about needing to up the dose for it to stay effective. I have recently been taking 0.5 mg every other day for sleeping, but...

Is Clonazepam different from Lorazepam? Lorezapam does nothing for my tinnitus.

They are VERY different. Xanax (Alprazolam) has a half-time of approx 11 hours (range is between 6 to 27 hours half time, sometimes more in obese patients). Klonopin (Clonazepam) has a half-time of 20-50 hours!

I think it is incredibly hard to say, honestly. It is a purely internal perception, so it has no actual volume associated with it, and the relative volume it seems to have compared to the rest of my audio feed is extremely variable. It depends on factors like fatigue, muscle tension, hormone...

Thanks. And have you tried without the THC? Does the Jastreboff protocol work - and can you take Clonazepam long term?

I just wanted to update you: Clonazepam is amazing. I didn't want to take it, but I had a rubbish day, and my head was roaring. I wasn't sure it would even do anything because, in the past, I had Diazepam, and it did nothing. I thought, at best, it would maybe make me not care about the noise...

I take it daily. I had been taking 2 mg per day, which is the same dose I took from 1999 to 2005, and then again briefly from 2010 to 2011. I am now down to 1 mg per day. I would say that as the dose has decreased, there has been the usual difficulty that comes with benzodiazepine tapering. I...

Clonazepam does nothing for my tinnitus, and neither does Lorazepam. Am I the only person in the world who doesn’t get relief from tinnitus with benzos?

Yes, I saw Dr. Bance. He suggested, given I'd had some success with Clonazepam, to try a 3 month course of 0.5 mg a day. He quoted the fact many are on it all their life for epilepsy with no issues. However, he advised his preferred routes of Gabapentin and Carbamazepine. You may recall I have...

...helpful, although he had no idea of tinnitus. It's well below par in the UK. No, let me phrase it differently. It's SHITE! I have Clonazepam to hand. Knowing this has preserved me, reducing my symptoms in less than 24 hours. Other than that, Mirtazapine for sleep and daily low doses of...

@BrysonKingMe, I agree with you. I also took Clonazepam and it was a terrible drug. I did not know about benzodiazepines until after I started the drug prescribed by my doctor. Your assessment of what it does to the central nervous system is correct. I think my tinnitus initially started after I...

...that this awful condition put a damper on things. The impact it can have is truly soul-destroying at times. At the moment, I’m taking Clonazepam most days at varying doses, but never more than 0.75 mg a day. It’s definitely lost its effectiveness, but I got tired of the up-and-down...

I took Clonazepam daily for about 3 years around 2000-2002. I didn't get tinnitus until Feb. 4, 2018 (a day that will live in infamy for me). Sorry, but I since I have virtually no knowledge about BDNF medicines, I can't give an informed opinion. As far as other supplements, I don't see why...

...hearing therapist. They rarely encounter patients with my type of tinnitus. Since 2012, I have been habituated to my tinnitus and take clonazepam as needed—usually for one or two days a month, then I stop. I consider myself habituated. For a better understanding of what I mean by...

Why the Aripiprazole if you don't mind asking? I read that it can help with OCD.

...because it was causing stomach issues and didn't help much, aside from aiding sleep. Now, I basically just look forward to taking Clonazepam twice a week, but then I have to deal with the crash and subsequent depression the day after. It's like riding a rollercoaster every week, and it's not...

...alarmed my GPs because it raises a red flag, which is why they ordered the MRI scan. Fortunately, nothing untoward was found. I am taking Clonazepam more regularly now but am monitored closely by my doctors to help prevent becoming addicted to it or experiencing unpleasant side effects. If...

There are past posts from members who stated they needed 30 mg or even more of Mirtazapine to sleep, after lower doses didn't help. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/45-mg-of-mirtazapine-doesnt-help-me-sleep-%E2%80%94-need-advice-for-my-disabling-tinnitus.49095/post-652507 That's probably...

Yes, I get through about 45 mg diazepam a month and 5 mg of Clonazepam.

My ENT consultant advised me of the risks of dependency if Clonazepam is taken regularly. Fortunately this hasn't affected me in 12 years and hopefully this will continue.

Yeah the COVID-19 vaccine worsened his tinnitus. Klonopin (Clonazepam) taper caused the nasty tones. He said he was somewhat doing better before the Klonopin too. He was allowing time to heal, kept getting worse and acquiring new tones. After having a small better period he got a helicopter tone...

...then it's only Diazepam, as it has a very long half-life. They would never prescribe short-half-life medications like Lorazepam or Alprazolam. Clonazepam also has a long half-life, so it is less addictive and has efficacy in tinnitus treatment. Zopiclone is also only prescribed for a few weeks.

Clonazepam made my tinnitus way worse. it has improved slightly after being off the drug for twelve months but I am nowhere near healed. Please stay away from this drug, it is only recommended for short term use.

Hi. Did you ever end up trying Pramipexole?

2-3 1 mg doses of Clonazepam a month for about the past four months and you believe you are having withdrawal? What makes you think they are related @GoatSheep? Do you feel any better if you take some Clonazepam?

@IntotheBlue03, Diazepam has a longer half-life than Clonazepam. Because of this, it can be great for sleep. For me, it does have an effect on my fatigue, so I end up sleeping too much - it works. Clonazepam seems to be the most widely used for tinnitus, but there do seem to be some horror...

Thanks very much for your honesty. If I understand correctly, you were on daily Clonazepam for 4 years? It's strange as the ENT in Harley Street London pumps that stuff out for fun for severe tinnitus. I think Diazepam is the lesser of two evils?

Hey Carlos just curious how ur doing on Clonazepam?

Clonazepam is no longer amazing. I couldn't stick to "once or twice a week," and it's lost effectiveness. The first time I took it, I fell asleep in the afternoon, which I haven't been able to do since before this started. The second time I took it, I had a couple of drinks, and I remember...

Thank you, @Nick47! I was reading about NMDA receptor antagonists and how they could potentially help with tinnitus, and I know Ketamine falls under that umbrella. It’s unfortunate that Bupropion can aggravate tinnitus. Our community cannot win on anything.

:huganimation: @BrysonKingMe, it will improve, it must! You will be glad you didn't take your life but endured the suffering. You stopped taking the Clonazepam on Monday? I hope the reactivity lessens in a couple of weeks.

Hi, I've had tinnitus for 15 years now, in conjunction with hyperacusis caused by my M.S. It was never an issue until recently, they hyperacusis was a much more difficult issue for a long time. In the last few weeks my tinnitus has become constant, loud (where I can't even mask it and it...

...met in all her years practicing as an Audiovestibular physician. She then said she would never give up on treating me. I was prescribed Clonazepam, and it helped me immensely when nothing else would. I was advised only to take it when the tinnitus was severe. I found my audiologist, who was...

...led me down the polypharmacy trap, which I believe has caused all of this. Medication History with Stable Tinnitus (December to March): Clonazepam (0.25 mg), twice daily for one week, with no taper in December. I developed noxacusis on the second-to-last day of using this. Clonazepam...

Yep, Clonazepam basically and I take some others. They help sometimes but sometimes not. After the last setback it does not seem to help at all. It's frustrating that there is no way to alleviate the pain.

Hello Nick, I had positive experience with Clonazepam 0.125 mg + Gabapentin 300 mg per day. I tried this for a short period, like 5 days, and it works. I was tempted to try the Deanxit + Clonazepam combo prescribed to me so I stopped the Gabapentin and switched to Deanxit. I upped my Clonazepam...

Keep in mind that Clonazepam (and Deanxit) is the standard combo given by Brai3n institute in Belgium for tinnitus. Based on this research: Administration of the combination clonazepam-Deanxit as treatment for tinnitus

I took Clonazepam for 5 days. Without tapering.

A lot of people take Clonazepam for years with no issues. If you come off gradually, then there really isn’t an issue. It’s when you stop cold turkey that it’s a problem and even then, if you’re only taking like 1 mg, nothing will happen.

I don't disagree but it's only a bit short of feeling like a miracle if you're in the high-benefit group. I feel like Clonazepam mediates the response more than the volume and pitch, though, and Gabapentin seems to, when combined with Clonazepam, tamp down on volume and pitch a bit, too. It's...

My doctor is also a psychiatrist, so definitely has experience with benzos, which makes his comment more confusing.
