Hello everyone, I am new to the forum, so I would like to say hello to all of you, share a bit of my personal experience, and hopefully get some feedback from others. First of all, I would like to explain that my tinnitus was likely caused either by Sertraline or by anxiety attacks. I was on...

I have been prescribed anti-anxiety meds and contemplates trying them out since I have alot of anxiety and panic attacks. Anybody out there who has had any trouble with these kinds of meds? Really afraid that I'll make it worse although I cant see how much louder this can get right now.

Do you believe taking Anti-depressants and Anti-anxiety medication when one has tinnitus is wise? i.e. to treat the associated depression and anxiety caused by tinnitus / loss of sleep? Also, do you think taking any of these meds prevent habituation say with TRT / hypnotherapy? Also, what...

...has been going on for over 1.5 months now actually, I was given three medicines from the doctors, anti depressant, anti psychotic and anti anxiety medicine. I decided not to take the anti depressants because one I worried would make my tinnitus spike, and anti psychotics are notorious for...

...who offered me anti-anxiety meds, sleeping tablets or antidepressants. Decided I'd take the anti-anxiety prescription and decide whether I want them later. I've been offered Propranolol 40mg. Anyone have any experience with this or other anti anxiety meds and can share if it helped at all?

Another win today. I stopped taking anti-anxiety today. It has gone well, and I have not freaked out like I did in the beginning of my tinnitus career. However... My tinnitus feels louder, or is louder today, and I'm a little concerned. Actually, it is louder because I could hear it at the...

I am thinking about getting anti anxiety pills. The audiologist says for some it increases tinnitus. Any experiences? or meds name that increased yours? Thank you

...I go work, and go home sleep. I'm fine with being alone but it would be nice to have the opportunity to go out sometimes too. Could anti anxiety help me with this. Lets say i take a pill, then go out somewhere and meet peole and maybe hit some girls. Anyone tried this solution for socializing?

Can I ask what anti-anxiety medications helped you?

Hey guys, so I have sleep maintenance insomnia and some anxiety, which ultimately led to tinnitus. I haven't yet conquered the insomnia/anxiety, but have come along way to understand it. I'm not reacting in particular to the tinnitus, except when it's louder (explained below). Every medicine I...

The most important part in the mis-attribution.

Welcome to the forum. I am not qualified to give you medical advice, but I can share what has helped me. I take 1 mg of Lorazepam before bed and at other times as needed. This is an anti-anxiety medication, which sounds more like what you might need rather than an antidepressant. 1 mg is the...

...go wrong is there. I want to kill the anxiety, and off course my T. As I have read some stories here on tinnitustalk about people taking anti anxiety drugs I have looked in the recent scientific papers on anxiety and kv7 channels. My dental surgeon suggested anti epileptic drugs and from the...

Hi @Megan Shay, What over-the-counter anti-anxiety medication did you take? Also, did you take the Elavil? Kind regards, Joshua

I am thinking about taking some anti-anxiety medication to help calm me down; has anyone heard of such medication making tinnitus worse? If so, do you know what specific medication? I am thinking about taking Zoloft low dosage to start out with.

Do you think these medications helped?

Dear Dr. Nagler, I would appreciate your valued input to my situation. I will describe everything I know/have learned. I'm 34 years old, active, and normal weight, no current stresses in my life for years. I have sleep maintenance insomnia, I wake after 4hrs sleep and very often unable to...

So Xanax helps but I know I can't depend on that if this tinnitus lasts (had it 2 months now). Has anyone had any success with a more long-tern anti-anxiety pill like Buspar?

Did the spike from Taurine eventually calm down? I am in the exact same situation as you.

Ah yes, and the department will just move on seamlessly, as hundreds take “resignation,” programs and benefits are cut, and those who can find employment elsewhere, usually the most qualified, do so. Human Resources, supporting agencies, and other parts of the system being in complete disarray...

Someone in this forum could contact the head of HHS, present our case, and see what happens, rather than relying on the pharmaceutical-funded news networks.

Hello, Quick question - How many days/months you took anti-anxiety drugs to take the edge off after coming down with tinnitus? How did you wean off? How tough was it? I am taking Buspirone 5mg twice a day for anxiety... took it for a week now. Is there a herbal/supplement way to reduce...

@Nebraska84, can I please ask what anti-anxiety medication you took?

Hi, I have moderate tinnitus that at times causes a lot of anxiety. To treat the anxiety, I am on Xanax .5mg as needed. I pretty much take it 3 times per day. My question is has anyone who is taking benzos been able to habituate to tinnitus? I know there are so many people saying benzos slow...

@AnonymousMouse Hold up. Have you tried taking any anti anxiety or anti depressant meds? I know there are a lot of people on this forum that are against meds, but klonopin definitely reduces the loudness of tinnitus for a day or two. I'm going on three months since my T started after I had...

I wonder how much our anxiety embeds the tones in our brains. If I had taken anti anxiety meds from the onset of t, I would have slept, brushed off the noise, and maybe t would not have taken such a hold on my brain, minimizing brain plasticity and t loudness, number of tones etc. It's a thought...

...of because I was taking hydroxyzine for anxiety 2-3 times a day and it just made me loopy and out of it. I am so absolutely terrified of anti anxiety medicine making my tinnitus worse or giving me pulsatile. I have made slight progress this week. Not as much anxiety, trying to focus on my...

...far is anxiety during the day. I do CBT (thanks to the book you supplied to me) and try stopping my negative thinking. I wonder if an anti anxiety med would cut the anxiety a little bit. I remember taking Obipramol when I was in the tinnitus clinic. But it increased my liver values. Maybe it...

I’m sorry to hear about your condition. If you’ve had hearing loss-induced tinnitus for many years and are in your 60s or 70s, I would suggest taking anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications until the Susan Shore Device becomes available in a couple of years. In the meantime, focus on...

Hello:) I developed tinnitus in the middle of November 2013. I suppose in my case I had the classical combination of loud music and high stress levels prior to that which triggered the tinnitus. In the beginning I wasn't very anxious about my tinnitus, but by the beginning of January I realized...

I occasionally mention there's a fair amount of overlap between tinnitus and Myalgic Enchalomylitis (aka as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). In tinnitus, there appears to be some kind of faulty interplay between the auditory system and the brain. In CFS, there appears to be a faulty interplay...

Hey Nadia, thank you for liking my post. I started noticing my tinnitus after a year. I do have to say I was on anti-anxiety and anti-depressants while in school which helped it become less noticeable. Feeling isolated as well and would love to talk to others.

...at this point I do. I'm already on ambien from before my recent onset of T, but I feel kinda scared of taking the valium. My question is should I be? And how was others reaction to taking anti anxiety meds because I dont want to get addicted and suffer from really bad withdrawals later. Thanks

I was offered Lamotrigine under the explanation it was for my anxiety. There was no mention or talk of any effect on tinnitus. Has anybody experienced any anxiety or tinnitus relief from Lamotrigine? Of what I've been offered, this one sounds the most temperamental and difficult to figure out...

Hello everyone, I've started experience tinnitus on September 7, 2021. I'm unsure if it came from either: - Using 15mg Remeron (Mirtazapine) for 2 weeks and stopping over 6 days. I initally took Remeron for insomnia and dealing with a stressful event. - Dysfunction of C1, C2 vertebrae from a...

Dude sorry to ask, do you take anything for anxiety? I've read our issue has been treated with anti anxiety meds in some cases, also anti epilepsy meds too. What did your mri say?

Hello all, this is my first post. I have had tinnitus since November of 2005. It was very low and hardly noticeable up until June of 2014 when a doctor prescribed me Mobic for pain in my shoulder after I told him to be careful of ototoxicity do to my T. Then December of 2014 when I drank (3) 10...

I have had tinnitus for as long as i can rememer to some degree. I had a lot of ear problems as a child including numerous infections a burst eardrum and glue ear requiring grommets. Overall i would say my tinnitus is reasonably mild like a 3 but unfortunately i also have an anxiety disorder and...

Well I woke up and it was as quiet as it has been in the morning after a 5 mg pill yesterday afternoon. Could be a coincidence so far. Mood is ok though and seems like it had an anti-anxiety effect, completely different to the benzo anti-anxiety but drugged feeling. Feeling calm.

Have you continued with Cyclobenzaprine and, if so, what’s your experience been? I ask because I’m looking for an (even off-label) anti-anxiety medication that has the lowest risk of exacerbating my tinnitus. My psych prescribed Duloxetine / Cymbalta, but from reading the threads on Tinnitus...

I have had loud tinnitus for about 3 years now. Just when I think I'm coping with it okay I either get a spike or I read something online that makes me a nervous wreck and subsequently makes my tinnitus worse. That's what happened tonight. I usually only come on here to look at treatment...

Hi, I recently developed tinnitus, and it’s been devastating. The only things that help are anti-anxiety medications when needed, masking noise with YouTube videos, and using Temazepam or Ambien to sleep. I’m trying to avoid taking these medications, but I get almost no sleep because of the...
