...If anyone else has a different experience of it please chip in. If you are thinking of it for anxiety relief then you could consider Pregabalin (Lyrica) instead. I started taking this about 3 weeks ago and it gave me back my life. Its amazing for anxiety, though according to my doctor it...

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...

I’m a superstitious person so I always worry about jinxing myself lol but in the name of science I want to point out that I’ve been taking an anti-convulsant and yesterday for about 1 hour or so it did reduce my tinnitus. It took about 3-4 hours for the meds to kick in and there was a distinct...

...withdrawal symptoms: https://www.benzo.org.uk/busto.htm You see this: http://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/dont-get-hooked-on-drugs-such-as-pregabalin/ Ok, I'm done ranting. Bottom line is I hope, I really do, that even though a large number of people are taking all these drugs to help them cope...

...of Xanax. I think it's safer for people with T and it helped me a lot more. I was on Xanax too for a bit. The drugs I'm on right now: Pregabalin 300 mg a day, Clonazepam 4 mg a day, Brintellix 20 mg a day and Betahistine 48 mg a day. I never had to take so many drugs before. It was all...

Yes, I saw Dr. Bance. He suggested, given I'd had some success with Clonazepam, to try a 3 month course of 0.5 mg a day. He quoted the fact many are on it all their life for epilepsy with no issues. However, he advised his preferred routes of Gabapentin and Carbamazepine. You may recall I have...

...when u love someone, but he has quite big problems. I'm looking currently in exercises that would help me. many of the Users doing this. I'm confident that this would help. Also i'm on pregabalin and notrypytline currently. And something happend with my T. The response is not so harsh anymore.

...in pharmacies in my country and it's dirt cheap (no prescription required). It is one of the main drugs used to treat epilepsy. Lyrica (Pregabalin) is (primarily) a calcium channel modulator - its mechanism of action is not fully understood, it basically binds to a gene related with calcium...

I was reading your post and got a fleeting spike in my left ear as was reading it. Took it as a sign to comment. Came across this reading and really think some kind of electrical stimulation can help re-set affairs. What do you think? @AVIYT @Chinmoku...

...them isnt it? They dont understand T and dont want to know. I am doing Ok, thanks very much for asking. I started a 'new' (to me) drug - Pregabalin (Lyrica). It works amazingly for anxiety and mood. It hasnt changed the noise though. I was disappointed by that at first but now Im starting...

...of Ketamine. I'm just going to try it once or twice to prepare myself for a full on infusion session as I'm prone to paranoia now since Pregabalin. And with shrooms, no one knows how it exactly affects tinnitus. But for non-tinnitus folks, I know plenty of people who were on antidepressants...

...thought gabapentinoids were like that, like "good benzos", but some harm reduction specialists I talked to told me people struggle to quit pregabalin more than benzos very often, with horrid withdrawal symptoms (including tinnitus). So it is a no-go. There is a very promising drug in phase...

Is this available OTC in your country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambroxol They are starting to test it for Fibromyalgia (which I think has some definite parallels with noxacusis) and other chronic pain and it reportedly works better than Gabapentin. Seems overall safe short term (and has...

I'll be honest. I don't want to deal with any of this anymore. Not the tinnitus, not the hearing problem, not the neuropathic pain. I'm tired of surviving, I've survived so far hoping for reclaiming some of the quality of life I had before. Now it seems like a distant unreachable fantasy. I'm...

I have a question for you. What did Lamictal do for you after taking Clonazepam for so long? For me it was stimulating but I also have dysautonomia, so I don't know if that would happen in normal people.

...did you not have the chance to find out because you had to stop taking it due to it blurring your vision? I find that interesting since pregabalin is a derivative of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and GABA seems to help some people with tinnitus in general, although I've read you're not...

Hi Cheza Thanks for your reply and I hope you are doing OK and notching up the pages in the T book. I have now got some valium from the GP. I think Lyrica is strong anti-epilepsy drug with very serious side effects. So might give that a miss! You sound like a fighter and I think you will get...

@attheedgeofscience ...and if you don't want to try your novel approach there are always "the darts"! Pin up names of all the common AED's out there (let alone the 'speculative ones')...or print this handy list below (which leaves out a lot of others I have run into, for some reason). Stick it...

...on the trough concentrations of carbamazepine, clobazam, clonazepam, gabapentin, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, pgenobarbital, phenytoin, pregabalin, topiramate, valproate, and zonisamide. Retigabine co-administration has been associated with a 20% decrease in lamotrigine plasma levels. In the...

...you have no way of knowing how much of the toxin may be in the Ginkgo you purchase. Since I also take an anti-convulsant pill called Pregabalin, although not for epilepsy but for localized nerve pain, I'm concerned about taking it. Instead I've looked into GABA supplement which is available...

It will not be easy for you but a man just recently wrote about his journey coming off Gabapentin on BenzoBuddies he said it was just as bad as coming off the benzo. He went through a horrendous time too, but is doing ok now. He contacted me and said he still has minor tinnitus from these...

I was curious. What was your experience with Lamictal?

...loudness hyperacusis. I am less knowledgeable than many of the others with noxacusis. I wonder if you have tried Gabapentin or Pregabalin. The antidepressant Cymbalta is also prescribed for diabetic neuropathy sometimes. I want to say @linearb has managed with some combination of Gabapentin...

...with Trobalt: carbamazepine clobazam clonazepam digoxin gabapentin lamotrigine levetiracetam oxcarbazepine phenobarbital phenytoin pregabalin sodium valproate thiopental topiramate zonisamide The following types of medicine may interact with Trobalt: anaesthetics medicines that prolong...

Martin, you have said yourself that you are highly anxious. I sent you before details of what I found very helpful, Pregabalin, which is not a benzo and not addictive in the same way. It does not claim to lower tinnitus, but would address your anxiety so that you are in a calmer, more measured...

...is able to prescribe drugs that may help you with sleep. Two drugs that people here feel are effective are Remeron (for sleep) and Pregabalin (for anxiety). These drugs are apparently calming and not addictive like some of the benzodiazepene drugs are. I haven't used these drugs myself, but...

...A few months of anxiety and it all piled up so I went to a neurologist which later turned into a psychiatrist visit and I began taking Pregabalin, which is the whole reason I'm in this mess in the first place. I am having a really, really tough time dealing with my suicidal thoughts and...

...to escape the definition of ordinary noise. I don't know why this worsening continues, the only thing I can think of is my previous run on Pregabalin (I'm almost one year off now) and then benzos, but coming off benzos is impossible with the level of distress I have now, I tried and got to an...

...to be much less forgiving. What a mess. This means that either I'm extremely sensitive to the medication (given also my past two years of Pregabalin) or the real reason for my tinnitus worsening is not the Clonazepam. Given the paper even a taper of 20% a week looks conservative, but I don't...

...0,50mg of clonazepam. Example: Gabapentin 300mg + 0,50mg Clonazepam ... effectiveness discreet ... questionable ... not for all. Lyrica (Pregabalin): improved formula of gabapentin, with no effect on tinnitus. Only annoying side effects. Strangely, even wanting to combine it with Clonazepam...

...a result of Clono. withdrawl I do not know. Now a year later the anxiety is way up and so is the T. I am going back to the Dr. and try Pregabalin (Lyrica) for the anxiety. I also had floaters and had no idea that is connected with Benzo withdrawl. Luckly the floaters which were only in 1...

...on a broad band and there is no upper frequency where it ends. I am on month 11 and the tinnitus has been worsening. I am on a drug called pregabalin. I tried to taper down but couldn't get to zero as the tinnitus became totally incapacitating and I had to increase the medication again. The...

...ears it is ... screaming? And it is changing constantly during the day. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but before i took Pregabalin it was more managable. Then when i take it and go to sleep i wake up with that sound being so horrible. Is that possible? That this drug is...

...start it could be good. Klonopin isn't as fast-acting as Ativan, but the effect of one pill last longer. There's the choice of Lyrica (Pregabalin) too. I faintly remember you've been informed of this drug. It doesn't cause tolerance the same way normal benzodiazepines do. If I were you, I...

...ok, long term = bad. :(:( Some sources to back up my claims and fears: https://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/bzcha03.htm https://www.benzo.org.uk/busto.htm https://www.tinnitusformula.com/library/ototoxicity-medications-that-cause-tinnitus/ (antidepressants + also be careful with...

I love the Maserati, I walked into the path of one these the other day in a shopping car park, I told the man I am sorry, he was going slow, however I did tell him if I did happen to get run over I would refer it to be by a Maserati, he laughed and said you don't to want get run over by one of...

...worse in my friend - who "just ignores it" - so i am thinking i should be able to get better bit by bit - my new med is called lyrica or pregabalin - is used for pain, epilepsy and sleep. some studies show epilepsy and tinnitus to be similar with preventing of tinnitus with mouse being given...

Use of Modafinil in the Treatment of Tinnitus Googled modafinil and tinnitus and found the aforementioned clinical trial. Noteworthy is the following: I couldn't find the results of that study though. And sorry, this didn't directly relate to your question on hand. //moving on to the point...

...the right things by being completely proactive and having the fighter attitude. T took my personality away for months before I got the Pregabalin. It was one of the worst parts of it. I'd always been one to have laughs and deliver good one-liners, humour meant a lot to me, but it went...

...your brain chemistry, and most of the times it is not just one drug someone's taking at the same time. E.g. in the information leaflet for Pregabalin (Lyrica) it is noted, that this type of anticonvulsant is usually taken along with other drugs (right off the top of my head I can't remember...

...identify with brain scans. This is an old paper. I don't know if I would benefit from the combination but I tend to doubt it. I was taking Pregabalin previously, and it wasn't helping my tinnitus even when I re-upped the dose. What worries me is that the shrill/intrusive static scream got...

I just want to tell you something @jazz You are an amazing and wonderful human being! Great post!

Hi and thanks- this has been severe since mid jan. I was taking Xanax at first but at one point that seemed to have no effect at all, made it worse at one point so a trip to the doctor at the Hospital sent me home with the Clonozepam which I was hoping would be the solution. I read about the...

...is like a super-high pitched electric signal, very distressing, predominantly in the left ear. Might be related to past medication use (pregabalin). Very similar story to mine. She has been going on for two years, slightly less than me, tried a lot of things, nothing worked. She told me she...

Hang in there, @Relic Hunter; It sounds like you have a solid grip on your issues and that you are taking steps in the right direction. Indeed, benzodiazapines can be addictive and sudden withdrawal can lead to a host of problems. Remeron, on the other hand, is reasonably safe and works...

Hello Karen....thanks for the reply....one of my doctor gave me this medication called lorazepam 2mg so i started using is for few months...at first i started and it helped me sleep at night when i go to bed so and after few months it just got me not good sleep anymore..i do not know why and...

...and so on. Next, I decided to go to a neurologist and a psychiatrist. I started a course of two antimigraines (Flunarizine 5 mg and Pregabalin 100 mg). I gradually started to get better. My tinnitus, the hyperacusis and the headaches all were improving fast. I was so happy that was planning...

...ago, I was diagnosed with occipital neuralgia on the left side. Cause unknown, other than poor/forward head posture. I was prescribed Pregabalin 150 mg at night — I know it can be ototoxic but I really don’t think it affected my tinnitus in the 4-5 years I’ve been taking it. It finally made...

...much, etc. I had severe panic attacks and thought I was going to die several times. I eventually went to a Doctor and was prescribed Pregabalin (Lyrica) for the nerve pain and as an added bonus it should have helped with my Anxiety as well. The first night I took it, it gave me massive...

That's so true bro, it's all about the money, my employer was pushing me to come back to work asap, they gave me a month to recover and now since it will take me longer (obviously) they have not so much as replied to a single of my mandatory updates to them, I don't need their sympathy but...

...because I simply preferred it to Xanax. That drug really messed me up. Medication-wise I've read some good things on Lyrica (search for Pregabalin and posts by Louise on this site). It appears to reduce the annoyance of T and is not addictive like benzos. If natural supplements interest...

:) I know Markku, I feel every single ounce of the frustration you've vented here. And what you have said above happens here in the same way ALL the time. Most doctors are so arrogant. I've turned up to see my doc in some bad states, clearly suffering, and still I get the cold shoulder. Arent...

I took Lexapro for 19 days at 10mg. The buzzing started after 8 days, I then stopped Lexapro as it started to interfere with my sleep. I then started to take 2gm of NAC and just over 1.5 weeks off the Lexapro my tinnitus has substantially reduced. I cannot hear it at all during the day and...

...find great relief through them. Benzos are tricky and can lead to other problems particularly when it comes time to withdraw from them. Pregabalin (Lyrica) is another drug that some have found helpful, and it is not addictive like benzos. Lastly, I would encourage her to join Tinnitus Talk...

...took it during the day) and I think it didn't helped my sleeping or if did it did a bit. Visited also psychiatrist who prescribed me Pregabalin in case I have anxiety and low dosage Mirtazapine (7.5mg - 15 mg) for sleeping. However after reading this forum I found that both drugs to be...
