Wait 12-24 hours.

All I know is I'd still have a livable level of tinnitus and some sound tolerance if I hadn't been pushed to take Clonazepam everyday. You probably build tolerance and get worse. I would stay away from all drugs if I were you. If you can live without drugs and eat a low inflammation diet and...

I asked my doctor about Clonazepam and he refuses to prescribe it unless it's for epilepsy or end of life. He said it's much more addictive than Alprazolam which surprised me.

@Bart, any difference between Xanax and Clonazepam or are they basically the same thing?

Many lives have been lost and ruined by benzos; especially tinnitus sufferers who made the mistake of being on Clonazepam daily. I am stuck at 1.5 mg daily and I have worse tinnitus than I could have ever imagined being able to live with. I wish more people were like you and advocated for...

@Frayact, Brian started to take Clonazepam, just 4 weeks, very low dosage. He stopped it cold turkey and shortly after he started to experience nasty withdrawal symptoms (hallucinations, as far as I remember). Then he reinstated Clonazepam for 6 weeks and tapered. I recall him saying that while...

...years and I'm used to it. However, something strange happened in February, the tinnitus kept increasing and wouldn't calm down. I took Clonazepam which usually reduces the tinnitus over 12 hours to a more manageable level or complete silence. I knew something was wrong because the Clonazepam...

It could be a bit of a journey tapering off daily Clonazepam, but a worthy endeavor most likely. There are good resources out there for tapering schedules, and from 0.5 mg you shouldn't have TOO far to go. Experiences seem to differ significantly. From no problem to quite bad. I can relate...

That's great news man and you've tapered the Clonazepam from 1.5 mg to 0.5 mg which is a big cut. It seems there are effective treatments already, it's just a case of having a willing and capable MD to go through the evidence and carefully assess each patient!

...I was hopeful about Flupirtine since a couple of users reported positive results just with one dose, but oh well. I'm considering Clonazepam since my sleep is totally gone. I'll see if it helps with my visual symptoms as well. I will consider other stuff after a benzodiazepine. I hope I...

Clonazepam is strong benzo, 1mg clonazepam = 20mg diazepam, drop should be 10% per week. Schedule 6. Withdrawal from clonazepam (Klonopin) 3mg daily with substitution of diazepam (Valium). (1 mg clonazepam is equivalent to 20mg diazepam) MorningMidday/AfternoonEvening/NightDaily Diazepam...

Hey. You are going to put yourself into interdose withdrawal taking it like that. You cannot take these pills like Aspirin. Do research on it if you haven't heard about it before. Most my tinnitus related problems came on because of something similar, but with antidepressants instead...

...only as prescribed by the doctor, along with all the other warnings. Apparently, the FDA approves Lorazepam for up to 4 months, but that dependency can happen in days or weeks. Clonazepam is apparently approved for only nine weeks. Of course, it's more potent per mg and has a much longer...

It's either on or off for me. No in between.

If any doctor had mentioned it was the Clonazepam, I would have been well out of this hellhole by now! But thanks! How long have you been on the Clonazepam for? This stuff makes you depressed as hell.

Two years of pain hyperacusis (noxacusis)?! Cured with noise generators. Funny, people with noxacusis say you can't cure it with sound therapy. Makes people worse, in fact.

Thank you so much for coming back to share your update. I won't be taking the Clonazepam + Gabapentin combo.

My psychiatrist said that would be our next move, switching from Ativan to Clonazepam if I find no relief from my current set up. However, I will say yesterday was my busiest auditory day in over 2 weeks. I drove in a car 4 times (short distances), was around my niece and nephew for a short...

Me too.

Yes, clonazepam is addictive, like all benzodiazepines, but clonazepam is probably less addictive due to its long half-life, and doctors often switch patients to clonazepam from other benzos to wean people off benzodiazepines.

...to do so; it is so variable and unpredictable. I’ve tried various medications, including Mirtazapine, Carbamazepine, Gabapentin, and Clonazepam. All but Clonazepam have done nothing or temporarily made it worse. I’ve tried the usual range of supplements too, to no good positive effect. I...

So I took Clonazepam by itself for over a year when I first got tinnitus as it helped reduce my tinnitus volume and helped me sleep. Tapered with no problems really. Recently had a hyperacusis setback and to try to get my ears to calm down I took 1 mg Clonazepam. I’ve been taking Melatonin for...

It's what I take. 30 mg. No noticeable impact on tinnitus. It helps sleep. I would rather be on no medication but not if my life is even worse. I still take 2 mg Diazepam most days and Clonazepam once a week.
