I was on anti anxiety drugs and trying to get off them before I got worse t, so more drugs wasn't really an option for me. Exercise, meditation, more mediation, CBT textbooks...

I don't think it's fair to say "you'll discover you have an anxiety disorder." This shit is real for the people dealing with it even if others can't hear it and doctors can't quantify it. It literally keeps me awake at night when I never had issues before, as in never heard perpetual phantom...

Wow... I feel so bad for you. Can you get some anti-anxiety medication to help you temporarily? Ativan works for me! ;) I only take it for very high stress times though.

What kind of anti anxiety meds are you taking? Be very wary of Benzo’s! I took them for 6 weeks. All kinds of weird hyperacusis symptoms because of them. I suggest you only take those for short periods

How are you doing now?

Hi mingmonster, Anti depressants come in a lot of brands and some work differently but with the same target to help depression and anxiety. When you start medication for depression you can get more anxiety feelings but there is help with short courses of diazepam or lorazepam for a week or two...

@Tinizzy you ever tried anti anxiety meds? I'm not trying to force you to take them because they are addictive unfortunately, but I do take them and they help a lot

If it gets bad enough, you should talk to the doctor about anti-depressants. Anxiety through the roof and dark thoughts are what I read in your post. Anti-depressents can help with these things if you have trouble coping on your own. I used Clonazepam and it helped a lot get over the first...

Clonazepam is a good medication to help you get your anxiety under control in the short term. I would suggest seeing if you can get a good anti-anxiety/anti-depressant to start with (I take lexapro) and supplement that with clonazepam for a couple weeks. Then, once the lexapro kicks in for...

@danni1979 , ask for anti anxiety meds like Xanax. Use it for a SHORT period in order to take control. Then I would suggest you try a diuretic med... Good luck.

...treatments like TRT and neuromonics having high success rates. Besides there are many people benefiting somewhat from anti depressants, anti anxiety meds, alternative treatments, vitamins and suppliments, yoga and meditation, acupuncture and so on. So its not that much hopeless condition to...

I took it daily at range of 40-80mg. It was actually for about two years. I was using it as an anti-anxiety medication (it blocks the effects of adrenaline to some extent.)

Classic panic question: Can <insert soft noise or activity unrelated to ears> make things worse? There are lots of them on this forum. Answer: No, calm down and take your anti anxiety meds.

I never had anxiety or depression before. @jeannie: Ever thought about taking an anti-anxiety AD like Lexapro or Zoloft?

Hi @everesting - I think that I would be careful with medication. You seem to be making progress, so I am wondering whether you need any (more) at this point or not. Does the Hydroxyzine not help with the anxiety? I would say have a think about how you are feeling in general at the moment. If...

I have tinnitus of 9000 Hz and 80 decibels, and have started ketamine nasal spray sessions twice weekly at a clinic for suicidal thoughts. Unfortunately the ketamine increases the volume of the noise and hyperacusis, so it may outweigh the benefits I receive for depression and anxiety. Any...

I agree with everyone on here. Taking anti-anxiety meds won't make your T worse. In fact, it should improve it because it will make you feel better. Taking meds to help you with your stress and anxiety in the short term is a good step for you. Couple that with CBT to address the underlying...

Probably not a good omen for one of my first posts to be in this thread but here we are. I had mild tinnitus for some 15 plus years but a recent testicular cancer diagnosis and the subsequent chemo have skyrocketed it. I got a new high-pitched ringing to my left ear that I can’t mask even in...

Yes it is. I spent $100 to go to the emergency and all they tell me is that it's anxiety. What kind of bs. My heart already beats fast so coffee just makes it even worse. I do not have anxiety and my therapist even thinks so. She asked why I was even there. I'm a firm believer of anti vaccines...

If there was no noise to cause this spike I assume it is based on stress. I would assume when your stress reduces it will also go back to normal. Have you talked to your doctor about anti-anxiety medications? Have you tried CBT?

Maybe you can ask your doc for a very small amount of some anti-anxiety med (benzo, for a month, tops) to help with the zoloft discontinuation. You've been on it for a long time.

I advised you of the mental and physical ramifications of stress and did a bunch of research on anti-anxiety medication and gave you an entire list of non benzodiazepine drugs to ask your doctor about before you started this thread. As well as explaining to you that your incident with the Toyota...

Hey arce. It can be very hard in the beginning but don't lose hope it may go away and make sure to see an audiologist or ent like mark said. Also if you have anxiety and depression tell your doctor I don't like taking meds but my anti anxiety meds got me through some rough times.

Following. I would really like something to take the edge off at night in particular. I am assuming most therapists won't be thinking about ototoxic side effects so I'd like to have some ideas on what to ask for.

I can only say that Trobalt has two effects on me: 1. Anti-anxiety 2. Lowering volume This morning, I was completely down. Depression, anxiety and loud T. Was in the complete negative thought spiral downwards. 200 mg Trobalt pulled me out of this. Worst for me is really anxiety. Loud...

Which ones did you try and worked best for you?

@PeteJ You need to be institutionalized. Have you tried that? There are anti-anxiety drugs (Xanax) that will help along with an anti-depression (Prozac), and Ambien to sleep. You need to be institutionalized now. You need help getting through this. It doesn't happen overnight. Seek help...

Definitely doesn't have the effect of a benzo on me, but as far as I'm aware benzos are anti-anxiety whereas Zoloft is anti-depressant. Zoloft also takes a while to get into your system (6-8 weeks I was told) whereas benzos hit me in 30 minutes to an hour. I take 100mg of Zoloft per day (under a...

Important note on anxiety: A doctor may offer you anti anxiety medications such as oxazepam. Since most of these are benzodiazepine's it would be best Not to take them as they may only help in the short term, but be detrimental in the long term. @The Red Viper , that last post was so good I...

. Hope all is well, what anti anxiety pill do you take?

I was on citalopram for 4 years, then I stopped it suddenly 4 weeks ago (no reason) then after a week tinnitus came back. Is possible that tinnitus comes back cause you stop your anti anxiety tablets?

...but T wasn't their primary reason for taking the class. One other person was there at least partially due to T. They said that long term anti anxiety/antidepressant meds. were helping them at the lowest dose but they wanted to learn to deal with the issues so they could stop the meds. I...

We've all been there and we got through the worst stage like your going through. If your get anti anxiety meds just try and not use too much. Like Martin I went on Remeron, an anti depressant and sleep aid. I also take gabapentin which helps with anxiety to some degree. Definitely get masking...

...so I hesitate to mention specific meds....You'll need to see a medical doctor but I've never known of T being a side effect of either anti anxiety or anti depressants. Many of us have taken klonopin, Zoloft, Xanax, many other different ones. Getting your anxiety and depression under control...

Hi there, I was hit with tinnitus a month ago and have been having a bad time of it. Couldn't sleep my ENT put me on a medication called Remeron 7.5 mg. Slept until 6p but was startled when I woke up. I'm wondering if it is anxiety related. The Remeron is an anti-depressent but use it for...

Hi, I started having panic attacks in July, fast forward to October, I was put on Remeron (Mirtazapine). Four days later I woke up after having a nightmare with screaming tinnitus in both ears. Called my psychiatrist who said it was not listed as a side effect, I was having psychological...

It could just be a temporary spike due to the fact that you've just stopped taking the anti-anxiety drug. Your body needs time to get used to this change. Hopefully, it will settle down again soon!

Seems pretty much that any med that reduces your anxiety also reduces your tinnitus so what does that tell you ?

Hi, George, and welcome! Can you tell us more about your symptoms? Do you recall anything that happened 3 months ago that might have caused your tinnitus to get worse? Have you had the anxiety and panic attacks for these 3 months, or did you have them before that? Also, are you taking any...

Hello GavH I need to leave now so I'll keep this short but - try to avoid taking anything that has tinnitus listed as a side effect. Especially if it's an anti-anxiety drug, there are safer alternatives. If you experience anxiety and need something ASAP, try some over the counter herbal drugs...

Exactly. I’ve seen people here get some relief from them but the addiction / tolerance / inevitable taper and side effects like you’ve mentioned don’t seem worth it at all. Thank you.

Telis: I got anti-anxiety meds (something called Alopam) when I first got hit with this. And that really helped me out and I believe that was how I got out of the tunnel the first time. I habituated quite fast after that and my T got pushed into the background. Hopefully this will happen for...

Hey, remember that this is an experience we've all had—and you’ll probably go through it again! I recently went through a tough phase where I was so stressed that I asked my ENT for anti-anxiety medication. Thankfully, the past few days have been much better, and I feel like I’m really healing...

Sometimes, I take Lorazepam .5mg, melatonin, calcium/mag supplement, 5HTP. Not all on the same night. What do you take, @cullenbohannon ? Also, I notice you mentioned an anti anxiety med in another post - which one?

I am in the same boat here. Hang in there, we will get through this. If you are going through hell... keep going. Ask the doctors for some meds that will help (anti-anxiety, antidepressants, or whatever they would recommend you to take). Best regards!

I have no opinion, except to mention that the usage of certain anti-anxiety medication can cause tinnitus when the wrong tapering-off protocol is followed. There is way too much medication being prescribed within the field of psychiatry.

Hello,Carlyi!Just want to tell you please pay attention to your anti-anxiety drugs.I heard some of these medicine can reduce T.However,they also can be the trigger of T or make your T worse!Please look out Best wishes

I haven't considered anti-anxiety meds or sleeping aids per se, but next on my list is Ginko Biloba, which also seems to help some people. Have fun with the dogs! They'll definitely help to take your mind off it for a while :)

Yes, any anti anxiety drug can cause this as I found out with low dose Seroquel for insomnia- am trying to quit the Seroquel now and will see what happens- but somehow I dont think the tinnitus will ever go away

I'm wavering on a few medications for anti-depressants after Prozac seemingly spiked mine. A friend of mine takes Lithium for anxiety and she said it's helped reduce her tinnitus to a much better level. I'm curious if anyone has experience with lithium in relation to tinnitus?

Sometime exercise can increase tinnitus. I noticed that when I went to the gym for a week and I've seen others say the same. Anti anxiety meds might also cause it and I'd stay the f**k away from headphones [except Neuromod ones perhaps]

Hi everyone. I started taking Buspirone (anti-anxiety medication) last month, and I noticed after taking each dose that I would get ringing in my ears for about a half hour before it went away. Like a fool, I didn't think much of it and kept on taking the medication. Fast forward to a couple...

This was my 3rd time taking it in 6 days at .5mg. I fight it to the end where I cant take it but I think that it strange because the anti anxiety effects only last for 6-8 hours.

IDK honestly. Also, if I take any anti-anxiety meds I'll get kicked out. So at a lose what to do.

...that anxiety and stress can cause tinnitus then if you prefer to believe that 3 GPs are assholes. Is up to you guys. Strangely my T became worse after I read HERE that anti anxiety can make T worse and I stop taking it. Maybe my GP is right I should stop google my symptoms and reading this forum.

be really careful with "anti-anxiety" medications. There's literally nothing in that class that I'd be comfortable with a pregnant relative taking -- neo-natal exposure to something like a benzo or SSRI sounds terrifying to me.

Was just gonna say the same thing..One poster here enrolled and got worse and thus so did her anxiety. Not saying it isn't something to consider but you should here both sides. Personally I wouldn't enroll.

I will talk to my doctor about anti depressants since my main problem now isn't so much the anxiety as the feeling of despair. I just feel like I'll never find any kind of happiness ever in my life again.
