Do you take medication for your tinnitus? SSRI and anti anxiety meds give you thoughts of suicide. Read the disclaimer.

So far I don’t think there’s much reduction from the P but it’s only been a day. The anti-anxiety meds are helping, basically I can hear the T but don’t care. Hardly a sustainable situation but ok for the time being. It’s becoming very obvious it’s right ear only also. Hope you’re good J.

@Larry OT @dan In the beginning of T onset, I got Valium infusions and my T was reduced a lot. I think it is the Valium that calms the brain nerves. I also took Obipramol for some days (a long-term anti-anxiety med) and my T was reduced. I also asked myself if it was lower anxiety or the med. I...

...quickly, particularly (at least for me) when you are worrying about personal health issues. This is a good time for a short-term prescription for a quick acting anti anxiety drug. When the infection resolves, discontinue the anxiety med ( under doctor's instructions). Hope you feel better soon.

I didn't take muscle relaxants last night but I did sleep with a store mouthguard and anti-anxiety meds. There was no real pain in my ear when I woke up. I think there is the feeling of light pressure in it. I think it comes when I focus on it with lots of worry too.

...for years and can’t get off them now as I fear it will make my tinnitus worse... who knows if they contributed to it. They have a small anti anxiety component and it was a quick fix by my GP years ago. Therapy was what helped at the time. I’m not suggesting therapy for your t but that...

Wow, your doctor said Keppra is a new drug? Keppra has been around for a verrrry long time as one of the first go to anti-seizure medications. My psychiatrist cannot prescribe it to me because it is not used off-label for any type of mood disorders, anxiety, etc like other anti-seizures are...

...with the noise And when she tries to explain it's non threatening nature, I can't hear it. I'm scared of going to bed. I'm scared of sitting still. I have tried everything there is, which is anti anxiety. But it does not help. Even zopiclone doesn't help. Melatonin does not. Just nothing...

Hi Vicki, I am sorry to hear about the continued trials and tribulations that you face and endure. Good news on the moments of silence - that is very positive. Not so good on those intense noises before going to bed. Is it only then that they arise? Fingers crossed for the meeting with the...

@Sash thank you for your condolences. I am touched by how supportive everyone is on these forums. I am still very careful when I go outside and I know that I am not out of the woods by any means as I'm still struggling with a lot of frequencies at normal volumes. Thank you for your concern, and...

Yes, they test for benzos, I remember seeing marijuana,meth, and cocaine. I don't remember what the other 3 were.

Then I wonder if that's the way BDNF works to quiet tinnitus when injected like OTO-413.

Some degree of reactive tinnitus is not unusual. For example, my tinnitus volume increases when the fan in my computer goes into high gear. Anxiety is definitely playing a large role. Anxiety causes muscles to tense, whether you're aware of the sensation or not, especially tiny muscles. I...

when i first had it and couldn't find out why i asked the doc for anti anxiety pills just to calm my nerves. that clonozepam also worked to minimize the sound and even stopped mine for a bit but handle with care - there's lots of posts on here about other side effects. talk your doctor.

Considering your lack of sleep is probably due to the anxiety about hyperacusis, or whatever you have, a low dose anti-depressant for anxiety might help. Also maybe something specific for sleep that isn't a straight up sleeping pill like trazodone or mirtazapine might help you sleep. Google...

Yes, I have tried and currently take buspar. It had no affect on my tinnitus whatsoever. I'm not convinced it's that great of an anti-anxiety drug though, as it did not seem to touch my panic attacks. It is a non-benzodiazepine drug though, which makes it desirable in that you will not become...

Yes get some anti depresants!!!! I dont know where you live but i take lexapro in the united states and its for anixety and depression and for an anti depressant i can say it does an awsome job of decreasing stress and anxiety.. Along with the clonzepan i take every once in a while :)

My experience 1 month 1/2 into having tinnitus. And need some advice pls on how accepting it has definitely changed in the past 3 weeks. First 3 weeks were definitely hell on earth. Until your brain starts to somewhat accept the ringing there is really no avoiding that phase. My tinnitus...

Hello Tom71! I’ve had tinnitus for 7 weeks now and I know how difficult this is! Things I do to help stay calm is watching my favorite TV show/movie with a cup of either hot chocolate or hot tea, cuddle with my favorite blanket with my dogs. If my anxiety gets really bad I take a low dose of...

The short answer is no. You probably have some sort of mild physical abnormality that is causing it. If it isn't dangerous, don't worry about it. Before you get to that point though, I would get a second opinion. Have someone else look at your images and the angiogram. If they say the same, then...

Rivotril is a better drug than xanax all around. It's certainly not innocent but if you plan to continue taking some some of anti-anxiety med, rivotril is the better choice. But as you might have read, taking such drugs for a long time (usually more than 3-4 weeks) is not a good idea.

Hi All, I live in England and as far as I'm aware Trobalt is not offered. It just seems like antibiotics and anti depressants and anxiety meds .maskers or hearing aids,CBT and TRT.... not sure if we are behind the times from other countries ..... great to hear what you think ........lots of...

I'll probably call and see what they can do..can other anti biotics curs ear infections?

Hi @D5vid. I had some severe anxiety at my onset of tinnitus. This is very common as we haven't adapted to the sound and it's still perceived as a threat. My anxiety completely hindered me from sleeping as my heart began to race when i drifted off. To combat that, I did take one of the safer...

You may want to try and go see your doc' ask for anti-anxiety meds for a short period of time. I'm pretty much against drugs in general, but you have to admit it does help at times. The more stressed out you get, the more your body will react negatively to everything that's happening to you.

...to keep it in check. I did go through a traumatic event just before I developed T. Also, my T brought all my anxiety out in the open and I could see it clearly that how anxious I am as a person. I am taking anti anxiety right now and it helps. I am hoping I do not have to take this long term...

I have a sound machine that helps somewhat and I've been taking an anti-anxiety drug for a couple of months until I get used to the T. I've had T for years, learned to tolerate it, but suddenly last December I woke up and it was much, much worse. I'm finally getting used to it again

I'm happy and my life is great. Still have tinnitus and it still bothers me every few days. I've tapered off my anti anxiety drugs and I get outside and drive again. We just got back from a month long tour of Asia and are planning kids! I wasn't the same two years ago. Healing just takes time!

Very hard this though let’s be honest. If I could travel back in time I would have filled myself with anti anxiety drugs. I mean bucket loads of the stuff and prayed my brain just unhitched the sound before it buried itself in deep.

...that takes a while. Hearing has improved and so has tinnitus. It was unbearable at the beginning, so loud I couldnt mask it and now its a lot quieter. After reading the forums here and getting tips on diet, supplements and seeing a psychiatrist and taking anti anxiety meds everything has...

Dykey - Another thing I failed to mention: Drugs. You are probably exhausted from lack of sleep. That was my problem when I firt got "T". I was deperate. My blood pressure was really high. I was freaking out. I went to a psychiatrist who prescribed an anti-depressant, Remeron. When I sleep I'm...

Mirtazapine is commonly described in Germany for T. It is good for sleep and helps against depression. It does not do much for anxiety. For anxiety, the only thing that helps me: - Distraction (video games, hobbies, talking) - Exercising (difficult for me since T gets louder and depression keeps...

Think about getting anti anxiety medication. Take something which is not known to increase Tinnitus. I'm on Paxil which helped me tremendously two times but takes up to 6 weeks until the effects are there. Before that I suggest taking a Benzo up to twice a week, not more, for the worst anxiety...

It's going to get better! You have to be patient. You JUST did the injections. You can get hearing back, and it can go away! Why don't you try the chat? Talk to other members here, it did me so much good just to have a chat with some of the members.

I've been on .5mg of Clonazepam and I can say it quites down my T. The thing is not letting your body get use to a certain dose.

Could be, have had many doctors tell me it's anxiety. They have put me on on, oh, about 12 different anti anxiety medications, they do nothing at all. They sent me to therapy. Therapist and psychologist are very confused. A lot of things don't make sense (Without going into a long explanation)...

Thank you for your kind replies. Everyone believes my T is anxiety and stress related. I struggled with anxiety through my pregnancy.. terrified something bad would happen. The last 6 weeks were awful and looking back I was depressed. I had terrible digestive issues and could barely eat and...

My ENT told me to live with it ,gave me a prescription for anti anxiety and made me promise I would not take them all at once and kill myself " A lot of people do that !" ... I was not even aware of that ever happening and the thought had not crossed my mind. Weird dude... hehe :P

...left side sets in and the inside of my ear gets hotter...and T louder. My left jaw feels swollen. Also I have neck and shoulder pain...Anti anxiety seems to help me reduce the edge. Any hope for me ? Or am I doomed to be hooked to anti anxiety all my life ? anybody else has the same...

...Greg, what experts have advised that muscular tinnitus is related to spinal positioning? Steve, have your symptoms resolved? I am still getting some fluttering but better than tympani drums and chainsaws and gongs, for nearly two months. Muscle relaxants and anti anxiety meds have helped for me.

So then what is my next move ? who should i go to for some help ? i'm taking anti anxiety tablets and antidepressants.

...take 1/2 the dosage (25drops) suggested for sleep and maybe 1/2 (10 drops) that if I experience anxiety during the day. It is in my Arsenal to cope with T. It was suggested to me by my Nurse Practitioner. You don't want to use it with other anti anxiety drugs however, but it is great in...

Hi Anne, I understand the torment as well as anybody else on this forum. It gets better, I promise. First and foremost stay out of the silence. You need to have some sort of sound to help you not focus on the T. Second, I use anti-anxiety meds as needed, they help me. Good luck....

I visited my psychiatrist yesterday. He said there is no magic bullet for t, but there are ways to help people cope. So he advised me to take B-viatmins (normally sold in colmplexes) in order to help the nervous system (even if you eat normally you should take them). Of course they dont have a...

After 4 months my reaction to T has improved. But I had too a anti-anxiety treatment - the first days were terrible. My advice is first to protect your sleep (melatonin, drugs, whatever that works for you), and it's really good you are trying to stay positive, it's really important.

I have just one word to say: "Remeron", also known by the name Mirtazapine. It's a good anti-depressant that will put you to sleep. I am having no side effects. Some anti-anxiety drugs, such as Xanax and Klonopin are great - at first - for putting you to sleep. However, they can lead to...

Ive smoked for 7 years.. Still smoke a pack a day.. I take klonopin and Either Of them ever spiked my T but the smoking Sure is killin my lungs. Either way im not quitting anytime soon. Anxiety meds will only worsen T if you withdraw too quickly from them cold turkey, otherwise there safe.

Hi Louise, For me, I was put on Zoloft (generic is sertraline). I started at 50mg and ramped up to 150mg, which I still take as maintenance. It takes a month or two before the depression goes away. (After a month and a half, I was right as rain again.) Finding the right dosage and...

But what is glucosamine? That does not work for anxiety does it? I don't see @Lane suggesting it for anxiety. I started omega 3 supplements a couple weeks ago, so I get enough of that now :) But I read it takes anywhere between 6 weeks to 6 MONTHS to see results (if it even works on...

It's not uncommon for those with a new onset of tinnitus to experience a worsening during the initial stages following an "auditory insult" (e.g. noise exposure, ototoxic medication, ear infection). The reason behind this phenomenon may be linked to the findings uncovered by researchers such as...

...slightly reactive in that way to static environmental sounds around the same frequency as my t - running water, fans, traffic. Very anxiety provoking. I don't wear plugs around these sounds, but I do take anti anxiety meds because of the ever changing t. And usually take baths instead of...

Running water sound helped me a lot and helped through my habituation the first time. Time is the key, it reduces the high pitch sound dramatically, I experienced that! Teas to relax your anxiety, a lot of antioxidants and flavonoids (I take turmeric). I also believe inflammation causes the...

Well - 6 beers and 2 mild anti-anxiety pills down and I can say that T seems SLIGHTLY down, but I think that's just down to not caring as much, which is a plus since I was ready to stick my head in the microwave beforehand. Conclusion - beer relaxes, but more testing needed on alcohol. Will try...

after getting your ears recheck by ent and aud. You should see someone about getting anti-anxiety meds. it not only clams you down but takes pressure of the audio response center in your brain. Then I put on Binaural beats and Isochronic Tones. You could even put the beats in you iphone and...

I've taken Hydroxyzine, it's an antihistamine with anticholinergic effects, i.e. it slows down the nervous system and can be effective for anxiety and especially sleep. Of course, it isn't as powerful or even comparable to a benzodiazepine, but it helped me get my act together when I first got...

It took me 1 week but it only went down when I controlled my anxiety / thinking ( stay away from anti depressants ) don't keep thinking if it got so bad " I might suicide" it will really get bad at that point

I have no experience with either, but people have said the benzos provide some relief, but be careful because they are super addicting.

I would suggest talking with your doctor to discontinue the drug until the spike subsides. I am pretty sure this is a temporary spike due to medication and it will reduce back to what it was previously over time. Talk with your doctor about other anti-anxiety and depression medication to try...
