    Thank you Daniel, you are an angel. My bloody medication is called lyrica/pregabalin. It's a calcium channel blocker but in the end it is similar to benzos, as it is a gaba analogue. Stopping it is hell for some people and now even the therapeutic dosage does nothing for my tinnitus. Problem is...
