In the US we just have prescribing guidelines, not licenses of this type, and basically everything is widely prescribed for things its not indicated for; this is called "off label" prescribing, it's controversial, people get in trouble from time to time, but it's the de facto norm.

What's your current dosage? I'm at 25 mg from 150 mg and the tinnitus is insane. This Friday I'll jump to 0.

what is visual snow?

It's very similar but less potent (so you take a higher dosage vs Lyrica). I found the side effects more tolerated, but it does make you put on weight and make you feel drowsy like all this medications do. Lyrica gave me headaches as I tried to increase the dosage.

...drugs you mentioned by reducing cochlear inflammation (quickly). The only thing that's ever sort of worked for me out of that lot was Pregabalin (Lyrica). But never when I'm severe am only when I'm doing slightly better and more manageable. The side effects of it are not worth it to me at...

When are you getting SGN blockade done? And yeah, there are tons of reports of hyperacusis patients getting helped with various anticonvulsants.

...that is responsbile for hearing and raise the gain, so that you hear things you wouldn't normally hear. I had a great cold while I was on pregabalin and that started tinnitus, but my hearing loss was already there before, and the cold or pregabalin did not worsen it. It looks like these...

...root is a natural GABA drug, but you would need high doses. L-Theanine and Taurine work for me in large amounts, they work on GABA. Lavender pills have calcium channel blockers properties similar to Pregabalin. Long term use of GABA supplements might be addictive, though; there are no studies.

If your audiologist says only have one aid then I would sack them. All this advice is to use them bilaterally. Pregabalin gives a different sort of anti-anxiety effect than Clonazepam. You're more aware, its not as 'tranquilising'. The main advantage is that its not supposed to build a...

Have you tried Lyrica or generic? I have some stinging in my toes that’s very uncomfortable. I’m worried Pregabalin will make me feel weird, but it seems to help my tinnitus. Gabapentin is known for making people dumb and dumber. Not sure what Lyrica will do? What if people have to dumb-down to...

I too worry about pricing, but the focal epilepsy market is quite big and the existing competitors for treatment are generic like Carbamazapine, Topiramate, Pregabalin, etc. It won't be an expensive drug imho. XEN496 could definitely be an expensive drug as it is a niche market.

There is a lot of anedoctal evidence in a lyrica survivor group. I'm tapering this drug

I am no expert but I have seen Pregabalin thrown around here as causing tinnitus. I myself took it for about a month or so and didn't notice anything BUT shortly after I took Neomycin and baam I now have tinnitus and hyperacusis. STAY FAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING ENDING IN "CIN".

I started Pregabalin A couple weeks ago. 50mg in the morning and evening. Maybe it helped a little. Since my T varies a lot its hard to say. I would rate it maybe 1-2 points on the subjective 10 scale better now. Yesterday I began to double the dosage to see if it brings any more benefit...

@Lane yes, I heard a bit about that... but I've had tinnitus since way before I started taking Pregabalin, and it didn't make my tinnitus worse either in the four years I've been taking it, it seems. I've been on the same dosage since the first month... and I (still) need it to be functional —...

Mine is from ear infection and pregabalin withdrawal. I think it has to do with nerves more than sound induced tinnitus, perhaps that's why. @MrE is yours sound induced?

...Often after taking 1mg of Klonopin, I awake tinnitus-free. I sometimes get a similar effect with 100mg of Gabapentin (the pre-cursor to Pregabalin). I have never tried Pregabalin, but I know of one individual (on the TSMB site) that claims her tinnitus is significantly reduced by this drug...

The Pregabalin will potentiate the effects of the benzo's so becareful. Also I've seen this med mentioned a few times on a drug harm minimalisation site (bluelight.ru) for it's recreational effects, undesired side effects and some nasty withdrawl symptoms - so maybe do a little reading through...

...suffer from insomnia, it is 100% related to work stress and 0% to tinnitus. I did not mention this in the post, but I have been taking Pregabalin for anxiety since the spring of 2020. It does not do anything for tinnitus but helps to keep the anxiety in check. Insomnia and anxiety definitely...

...part of the Abraham Shulman protocol with Clonazepam, advocated for some types of tinnitus based on neuroimaging. However there is considerable risk of physical dependence and for some people tapering Pregabalin is worse than tapering benzos. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. God help...

...play a role in some of the idiopathic (even non Meniere's) cases. I have no idea if that applies to you personally or not. As far as the Pregabalin, why were you put on it? I would defer to people who have had to get off Benzos for advice. Something like the Ashton Manual for Pregabalin...

I know a lot of people who are on or who've tried pregabalin for pain. Some say it's helped but at least half who've trialed it seem to report pretty serious sounding mental or physical effects. It is the successor drug to Pfizer's neurontin and is chemically closely related to it. Pfizer...

Pramipexole is very hard to taper and it can be quite dangerous. With a taper -may need to start on high dose gabapentin or pregabalin and very slowly reduce the pramipexole and you don't want to do that again. Pentoxifylline or Sulodexide. Plus Glycinate Magnesium - one half tablet twice a...

...hard to predict what will happen to you. Some people jump off huge doses of benzos after 15 years and heal in one year, other people take pregabalin two weeks and are stuck with tinnitus for two years. I think four days at only 25mg should allow your system to reset but how long this will...

It's possible pregabalin slowly damages the nerves, as it affects the CNS. For some, like me, where probably my nerves were more prone to damage.. it showed up quicker. But who really knows

...and restless legs? I used to drive a motorcycle too pre-tinnitus, I hope I'll be able to drive again some day. I am trying to reduce pregabalin again but the metallic grating tinnitus is exactly what I get, at an insanely high frequency. I am very concerned about what pregabalin can do to me...

daedalus - I'm sure that you feel like a guinea pig after trying so many drugs! I'm sure the last thing you want to hear are more suggestions...but I actually had the same comment that Golly made: In certain situations (people with somatic tinnitus), gabapentin has worked. I read about...

I agree. This Saturday I started my taper (as I am on Pregabalin for anxiety). I reduced the 0.5mg to 3/4 of a pill. On Tuesday my T went wild, it was still wild all day Wednesday and so I went back onto the full 0.5mg tablet. Looks like Im stuck on it for life then because Im not putting up...

Wow, this is really interesting and relevant to me as I´m taking two ADs, Gabapentin and suffer from benzo withdrawal. Do you mean one does not have to taper these drugs and switch to AV-101 without withdrawal or do you mean you can taper off of AV-101 without tapering? Thank you @Greg...

...In 2018 I experienced tinnitus probably a few more times, and eventually I stopped taking modafinil and it didn't return.... Until taking Pregabalin. And this is where my story begins. Because you know what? Even back then, when I actually EXPERIENCED tinnitus.... what's funny is I didn't...

So does anyone have any experiences with Pregabalin/Lyrica? I read some horror stories on the internet but then recently came across this: https://www.anausa.org/smf/index.php?topic=12258.0 "My psychiatrist called up his expert pharmacist and inquired about new drugs for tinnitus. He mentioned...

Same here. Just started taking 300 mg a day of Pregabalin/Lyrica + 4 mg of Clonazepam. I hope my tinnitus settles just like yours did, but tbh am quite petrified about all the other horror stories regarding Lyrica.

I understand. Can you take a low dose of Diazepam + Gabapentin on the off days? Or even Pregabalin? How often are you taking Clonazepam and what dose? Was it you who had the meeting with Dr. Bance, who suggested Carbamazepine if the Gabapentin does not work? I've been close to your thoughts...

...inflamed cochlea or brainstem. But I'm convinced now really that it is the type II nerve fibers causing my noxacusis. Just find it a bit odd that neither Gabapentin, Pregabalin nor Amitriptyline seem to help with such nerve pain. I can't find anybody who has benefitted by Prednisolone on the net.

Yeh good luck with it. I actually did like it for the first few months I was on it. I wasn't on big doses of it, 50 mg I think but it was enough to take the edge off. I think it's important for me to say that I was actually doing reasonably well anyway at the time. I had a second acoustic shock...

...before doing the irreversible. I think some type of mixture of a calcium channel blocker (Keppra, Nifedipine, Flunarizine, Cinnarizine, Pregabalin), potassium channel opener (Epidiolex, Gabapentin, Flupirtine), HCN2 closer (Ivabradine) and purinergic receptor antagonist (Ambroxol...

It's interesting to think about what would happen if, instead of taking a high dose of multiple drugs simultaneously, you take lower doses and spread it out over the course of a couple weeks or months. The difficult part is figuring out which drugs to take in which doses, and finding a doctor...

Indeed I was on Pregabalin, discontinuing it was hell. Later I was put on Clonazepam, and I'm still stuck with that, worsening at constant dose. I could increase the dose in the hope to stabilize because a taper seems impossible in this agony. I tried SSRI (but I react poorly and serotonergic...

...side effect profile but looking at the Wikipedia page it seems that some of them are pretty normal when you compare with a bunch of meds. What is the major concern one should have when trying this? I wonder if it's safe to use while on Sertraline, Pregabalin and diazepam (I intend to taper...

...much. Its there in the drawer for you to be able to knock the T on the head when you reach the point you have to have a break from it. Pregabalin worked on me within 2 days. Wikipaedia says it takes a week to work. You get (well, I got) a sense of mild euphoria at the start of it, which is...

I really would like to find out what my tinnitus woud be like if I came off of Prozac. I came off of propranolol ages ago though, and that may have played as much a part in my getting tinnitus as the Prozac.

For pain I use meloxicame in small doses sometimes and it doesn't seem to cause any problem so far.

Usually Alprazolam and Pregabalin are not considered ototoxic when you are on them. Quitting them cold turkey, without some sort of tapering schedule, after a long period of use is usually an ototoxic "danger factor". Try taking NAC (large doses like 1200mg) per day, is has been shown that it...

...White noise covers "all" frequencies. I have heard about a lot of people "curing" their hyperacusis themselves by exposing themselves to barely uncomfortable levels of sounds. Sometimes aided by medication like lyrica (pregabalin). I am just repeating word of mouth here. I am not hyperacusic?

...benefits of clonazepam and THC but not so sure about gabapentin. Have you tried stopping it to see if it is doing anything? I am hooked on pregabalin, the more powerful sister of gabapentin, unfortunately, but it does nothing for my tinnitus (I'm wondering if it makes it worse). When I tried...

...channels and receptors is amazing. AV -101 might just replace benzos, antidepressants and anticonvulsants (such as gabapentin and pregabalin). No taper is needed. https://www.vistagen.com/pipeline/av-101/neuropathic-pain I expect that they will offer more stock shares and then money...

I saw this thread earlier and funnily enought I came upon this thread while browsing for something else: http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/archive/index.php/t-662532.html Some really interesting discussion in this thread, they mention Levin's ideas, long-term treatment with benzo's, gabapentin, etc.

You would need to try both of them I'm afraid. I found Gabapentin better and maybe reduce the noise slightly, where as Lyrica did nothing at all for me. Just remember, we are chasing rainbows here. Mostly these drugs will do nothing for majority of people, however anecdotally they seem to...

Alison try 600mg of pregabalin. You won't look back your be amazed.

...and so keeps needing to be topped up. I read one guy got 2 hours help from it and then was craving his next dose for a few hours. Remeron for sleep (and anti-depressant, which its supposed to be excellent for in a high enough dose) and Pregabalin for anxiety. Thats my prescription for you!!

I have noise induced tinnitus for about 15 years.I was recently prescribed pregabalin for neck pain and severe headaches which I found very helpful by day 3 my tinnitus had increased 10 fold now I have the sound of a jet engine in both ears I fear not taking the meds as the pain is excruciating...

...shower? For me it's yes everywhere except the last one, but I'm getting there. My other doubt is that I believe this drug I am tapering, Pregabalin, has played/is playing a role in the worsening by messing up my GABA system. No doubt my tinnitus started with a cold, but then it got louder...

This is interesting and weirdly may be relevant to my case too as high dose Azithromycin damages the stria vascularis. What is the Pentoxifylline dosage? When do you suspect a microcirculation problem?

Hi has anyone got any views on pregabalin? I have been told that it will reduce my severe anxiety and also severe pain i am in from various forms of arthritis. But have also been told that it will decrease my tinnitus but then have been told it will increase it?? I am totally in state...

Yep. Until the 'experts' put 2+2 together all the consumers coming forward are simply considered to be giving meaningless reports. It take years until they realise that all those 'anecdotal' reports actually do mean something. Meanwhile lots of people suffer at the arrogance of the medical...

...This is true. That is why I was put on it along with Clonazepam 4 mg/a day and Brintellix (Vortioxetin) 20 mg/a day. I've been on Pregabalin 300 mg/a day for 2 months now and I'm still anxious and down on life most of the time. I didn't notice any major change in my Tinnitus. Sometimes I...

I don't blame you for resisting that one. Look at the side effects! I don't even know what half of these mean but it doesn't look good: · Angioedema · Hypersensitivity · Increased Risk of Adverse Reactions with Abrupt or Rapid Discontinuation · Suicidal Behavior...

...my personal opinion Pete, but Gabapentin is a horrid drug, just like benzos... I would not pick it up. @Chinmoku is having a lot of trouble with Pregabalin which belongs to the same family as Gabapentin... I have also tried this drug, it caused my mood to plummet big time and gave me anxiety...

...statistics. They never do that because if they did it with every medication they prescribe it would take hours BUT if you asked him 3 times he should have definitely told you. My psychiatrist almost laughed at me when I showed him data where tinnitus was.a frequent side effect for pregabalin.
