Took 0.5 Clonazepam half an hour ago. So far no reduction in anxiety and tinnitus loudness, but oh boy my eyes are heavy as hell. Will wait

@ChrisZ, It’s good to hear you’ve found some relief. GABA acts as a brake and can help disrupt the tinnitus signals. Medications like clonazepam, alprazolam, and oxazepam can also have this effect, though diazepam doesn’t seem to work as well. As you mentioned, there can be issues with these...

...is low, I still wake up, but on those nights, I don’t hear it and can fall back asleep quickly. For me, Melatonin and occasionally Clonazepam (0.25 mg every three or four days during bad periods) have been a godsend. I still wake up, but at least falling asleep is no longer an issue, and the...

...just works better, I guess. Many diseases have a combination treatment. Dr. De Ridder prescribed Aripiprazole, too, but I don't have any of that. It was the lowest dose, like 2 mg. Try it for a month and see. You could take 0.25 mg of Clonazepam at night if you are worried about side effects.

Because my tinnitus is so bad, I already switched back to Gabapentin. I will probably add Clonazepam (0.25 mg) in the evening, too, every other day.

How are you getting on with the Gabapentin/Clonazepam thing? I'm in discussion with my doctor's surgery to trial Carbamazepine or something similar.

...I have a rare and severe form of noise-induced tinnitus, which is not often seen in other tinnitus patients. This is why I was prescribed Clonazepam in 2011. Please refer to my thread: My Experience with Tinnitus. I’ve been taking Clonazepam more frequently since my tinnitus worsened in...

This has been my experience, too. Clonazepam supposedly lowers the loudness of tinnitus for most people -- I guess you and I are among the unlucky few it doesn't work for. Do you find Alprazolam lowers tinnitus loudness?

...previously mentioned scenarios which would likely result in a loss of hearing. What I have found is that by using one-off high doses of Clonazepam I am able to mitigate any increase in tinnitus that I would otherwise suffer from exposure to sounds that I would define as causing a mild...

Yes, still on 1.5 mg Clonazepam/day.

likely need a root canal soon and my nox is pretty bad rn. torn between taking nitrous oxide or 1 mg of clonazepam beforehand. any input?

...very drastic, but it’s 2:30 in the afternoon, and I’m still in bed. Before the dental work, I was actually starting to do alright. My Clonazepam was down to 0.25 mg, but now I’m at 2 mg, plus Lyrica 225 mg and Seroquel 125 mg—everything has been pushed up. I didn’t take Morphine last night...

...that. The lower the dose, the better. What's the point in trying to improve my mood if I can't sleep? I'm also considering 0.5 mg of Clonazepam next time I have some, but my anxiety and roaring tinnitus are both extreme at the moment, so I hope it's enough to take the edge off every now and...

...spot. The only difference is my (severe) tinnitus was noise induced and you are further along with the taper. I've been wanting to quit Clonazepam since summer last year, but the tinnitus got worse while trying to and I got really scared so I put it on hold for many months after my initial...

Thanks, @Nocca. Before taking Clonazepam, my tinnitus was so mild that I would barely notice it for months at a time. I am hopeful that I will get back to that point sooner rather than later. Regarding your point about France, I am in Belgium, and I am quite shocked by how easily doctors...

...removed me from the symphony of noise while I was doing it. The overwhelming mental health takeaway is that if you wake up and do nothing all day, you will fall further into despair. I’m also using 0.5 mg of Clonazepam, which does not eliminate the noises but does help take some of the edge...

Jeez Louise, and here I am worried about taking 0.025 mg of Clonazepam a day and running out of Gabapentin. I have a box of Pregabalin that was given to me to try, but I haven’t used it yet. Those are some hefty doses, mate. Be careful! I’m glad it’s helping your symptoms, but I’m honestly in...

I've been on Klonopin off and on for the past 6 years. Always able to taper and get off in past but never on as long as I've been this time. Developed insomnia about a year ago and have been on anywhere from .25 mg to .5 mg each night for sleep. My sleep has gotten better and I fear being...

How old are you? Did Clonazepam make your tinnitus worse?

Have you tried taking Remeron (Mirtazapine) and Klonopin (Clonazepam)? If not, I highly recommend taking Remeron at night to aid sleep. It will take a week or so for your body to adjust and stick with it.

Just debating whether to get on Clonazepam full time now as the off days are giving me quite severe depressive symptoms when the reactive tinnitus catapults back.

You will regret it...

Yes, that's how I've taken Clonazepam. I've taken in the past a low dose (0.25 mg) for a week, then none for 7-10 days, then for 2 days in a row, then 5 days later for 1 day. I also vary the dose (0.5 mg - 0.75 mg - 1 mg) and basically take it to my needs. I have no set pattern. On days I don't...

For me, it is the same. Taking 0.5 mg of Clonazepam seems to help by reducing the hyperactive neurons in the auditory cortex. However, it makes me feel extremely tired, almost like a zombie. I have been trying 0.25 mg for almost four weeks now, but the hyperactivity has come back strongly...

...it gives nonsense. If you want to read the debate about reactive tinnitus, Neuromed has an article about it. It is very speculative though. You already know what caused yours, if that gives you any comfort. When mine becomes severe and I cannot take it anymore, I take Clonazepam for a day or...

Doing better due to Clonazepam, it softens my tinnitus and reduces my anxiety greatly!

I'm assuming they tried each alone with the statement, "The weird part is the Clonazepam and Olanzapine have to be taken at the same time. If I remove one, the tinnitus comes back." And I believe this because benzos don't seem to affect my tinnitus at all. Wish I had had my Gabapentin and...

...after that (except for two small cuts). The tinnitus kept getting worse and I thought that I am lucky that I still have the 0.4 mg Clonazepam, because imagine how the anxiety would kill me if I didn't. I kept taking the pills and it's been downhill with my tinnitus really fast for the last...

...but a severe tinnitus spike can definitely make me anxious. I've experienced so many spikes that now I mostly just: Suppress it with Clonazepam. Ride it out. Hope for the best, since there's not much else to do. I like the idea of using a "mini" dose of Zolpidem. For me, 3.25 mg is already...

It's been a little while but pretty sure I dropped the Clonazepam early on and only took Deanxit, but I'm not certain anymore.

...to get by with 20 teeth, that’s more than enough. I have 28 right now, so I can easily sacrifice 8 when the time comes. I’ve been pushing clonazepam for four days now. I just had my MSW appointment, and she says it’s very obvious I’m having trouble finding words. She mentioned she never sees...

I was also impressed with Dr. De Ridder and appreciated his insights on Clonazepam. I had thought that it was best to use low doses as needed, but from what I gathered (and I could be mistaken), it seems that he recommends using a low dose regularly. He mentioned that it’s the wearing off of the...

1 mg is pretty potent for Clonazepam. That's 4 times as potent as my 0.5 mg dose of Lorazepam, plus it has a much longer half-life, resulting in a higher concentration of the benzo in your system longer. I avoid taking Lorazepam much because it can build tolerance and dependency quickly, plus...

I've seen others report a delayed effect between taking Clonazepam and a reduction in tinnitus, so I'm not surprised you had better results by taking it the night before. 0.25 mg every 6 days doesn't sound like it would be a problem. 0.5 mg doses are not uncommon and are sometimes taken more...

Clonazepam has been useful to me since April 22. It can reduce both my hyperacusis and tinnitus in 12-24 hours. Some take it regularly, I have not. I take 0.5-1 mg for 1-2 days about once a week. The effect can be enhanced when taken with Gabapentin. Like many medications, some people...

300 mg Gabapentin and 0.5 mg Clonazepam for 3 months.

How much of that did you attribute to Gabapentin? Do you think the addition of Gabapentin makes the Clonazepam more sustainable? It seems those that reach tolerance quicker are on Clonazepam only as opposed to Gabapentin + Clonazepam.

You have to be disciplined with those benzos. I have 0.5 mg Ativan (Lorazepam), which is equal to 0.25 mg Klonopin (Clonazepam) but with a much shorter half life. I've managed to hold myself off to one dose every third day on average, but that's for anxiety, as I don't think it helps tinnitus...

...I took Diazepam this weekend at 5 mg (2 ml) to help get through a medical test, which I understand is meant to increase GABA the same as Clonazepam, but this seemed to send my tinnitus through the roof, so I guess the combination of Clonazepam and Gabapentin may be ineffective for me. Great...

I truly hope you find some relief. Keep hanging in there!

Hi @trevl, it seems there are no drugs on the market that have the potential to reduce tinnitus volume, except Clonazepam, if I am not mistaken. I was prescribed this drug a long time ago, but I do not take it. It does not have a good reputation. Currently, I am taking Mirtazapine (between 15...

1-2 mg of Mirtazapine and 0.25 mg of Clonazepam at night is the perfect cocktail for me.

My tinnitus is unilateral. My biggest issue initially was how my tinnitus sound would react to external stimuli. After about three months and about a month of the nutriceutical protocol, the reactivity issue seems to be getting better. It is not resolved by any means, but it is more manageable...

You're on Clonazepam buddy. Forget that list.

Ever tried Gabapentin?

...steadily for a week now, and I'm starting to fear its going to stay. The only thing I can think of that might have contributed to this is Clonazepam. I was prescribed it in November for anxiety and took it on an as-needed basis. This ended up being about twice a week (0.5mg each time) if...

...lots of literature in female subjects, very minimal in male. About 10 years ago, when I had a spike, a very good physician prescribed Clonazepam at 1 mg to 2 mg. After a couple of weeks, I stopped the Clonazepam abruptly because I was getting oversedated. I use it now as an emergency...

No worries, I've read all your posts regarding your experiences :-) It was Clonazepam.

...My GP prescribed, reluctantly, 300 mg/d in 100 mg doses. Neither ENT at Chesterfield, Derby or Nottingham would prescribe Gabapentin or Clonazepam, so it's interesting that an ENT in the same country at a well known centre is willing to. What dosage of Gabapentin has he prescribed for you...

Why do you think the Clonazepam and Olanzapine are responsible for bringing the noise down?

Yes but it's variable with each patient. Clonazepam Gabapentin Cyclobenzaprine Retigabine Nortriptyline Amitriptyline Acamprosate Oxazepam

What dose Gabapentin are you taking? Do you have hyperacusis?
