    Reactive Tinnitus and Hyperacusis After Klonopin (Clonazepam) Withdrawal

    ...(a single tone) with volume fluctuations and hyperacusis throughout the day. I developed both of these after a fast taper off Klonopin (Clonazepam). In January and February, I started to feel a bit better and thought I was on the path to recovery. Unfortunately, about 10 days ago, a second...

    Debilitating Tinnitus from Benzo (Clonazepam) Taper

    ...for three years. Doctors were running out of tests and explanations, so I decided, based on what I had read in the Ashton Manual, that Clonazepam might be the cause. I had been taking it for seven years at varying doses. At the time of my decision to stop, I was on 0.5 mg daily. I tapered...

    Horrendous Tinnitus During Clonazepam Taper

    I took 0.5 mg of Clonazepam from November 2022 to March 2023. I came off it too fast and quickly developed appalling tinnitus. My doctor advised me to reinstate the Clonazepam and come off it more slowly. This seemed to work at first - after six weeks the tinnitus was right down and I started...

    Intermittent Tinnitus and Taking Clonazepam to Prevent a Loud Tinnitus Day?

    ...some low-dose Remeron (Mirtazapine), which has worked like a charm for me - I sleep great now. She also threw in a prescription for Clonazepam, for occasional use. I tried it on a loud day -- it really did little to knock down the volume of my tinnitus; not really worth the risk of taking it...

    Doctors Saved Me from Crippling Tinnitus: Oxcarbazepine, Clonazepam and Olanzapine

    I had crippling tinnitus and was hospitalized for 14 days about 3 years ago. The doctors gave me Oxcarbazepine, Clonazepam and Olanzapine. I believe the last two are responsible for bringing the noise down to a level that I do not require hearing aids with a masker. Essentially these drugs saved...

    Tinnitus from Short-Term Medication (Trazodone, Clonazepam)

    I was given Clonazepam to treat myoclonus of the inner ear muscle, which had been caused by long-term stress. After a few weeks, I found another medication that successfully stopped the myoclonus. I should have discontinued the Clonazepam at that point, but I was advised to continue taking it...

    Tinnitus Caused by Stopping Clonazepam Abruptly

    Dear Members, My doctor didn't support a gradual weaning off of Clonazepam: 0.5 mg am/pm. I stopped this medication abruptly, and during terrible withdrawal, I developed tinnitus, 24/7. I can oftentimes drown it out with background noise, but silence & sleep time, trying to sleep/go back to...

I have also reduced my Clonazepam by 50 percent, from 2 mg to 1 mg, and if my tinnitus is acting any differently, I am not consciously aware of it. I am still unsure whether I will completely discontinue Clonazepam or not...

    Along with the gabapentin, I got prescribed clonazepam today. I’m scared due to risks of both, however they are only for me to take as needed when my anxiety is severe, not consistently/daily. So I think I’ll be okay. Don’t comment anything suggesting otherwise lol, thanks

    Thanks! I managed to suppress it with medication. The combination of Morphine and Clonazepam likely helped me sleep—it knocked me out for seven hours. I took half a Morphine tablet (2.5 mg), 1 mg of Clonazepam, and 75 mg of Quetiapine.

    I had very mild tinnitus in one ear before taking Clonazepam for an unrelated issue. I took 0.5 mg once a day for about four months, then came off it too quickly. That led to severe tinnitus in my right ear. My doctor suggested going back on Clonazepam and tapering off more slowly, but that...

    My unofficial opinion with the clonazepam is to try and take it closer to bed time and not if your already deep into an anxiety attack.

    Assessment of Treatment Efficacy in Patients with Chronic Tinnitus: An Ambispective Cohort Study
