I have tested pregabalin to me and does not work.

...I understand your love of driving to experience the sense of freedom you describe. It's been a big factor in my life as well. -- Re: the pregabalin (Lyrica), I hope you've discontinued it, especially since it caused your tinnitus. I myself use DMSO (and other things) to control some of my...

From the paper you posted: I think the highlighted parts in the excerpt gives us the reason why Gabapentin doesn't work as well as Retigabine, it just isn't as powerful as Retigabine at shifting voltages and increasing currents.

How are you doing now with the nerve issue?

Thanks for the lead on pregabalin. I will look into that. F

Hang in there man. It's gonna take a while but you'll get out of this. Technically your road to recovery started only 8 days ago when you got off pregabalin.

Yeah, this varies in the U.S., depending on the doctor. My doctor won't prescribe Gabapentin or Pregabalin for sleep or anxiety. He only wants to prescribe SSRIs and SNRIs when it comes to antidepressants, or Trazodone as an alternative sleep medication option, although an NP in the same office...

Tinnitus is a listed side effect from lyrica. @AVIYT and myself had bad experiences with pregabalin. Some people get tinnitus as a side effect, others as a withdrawal symptom, others get it for other reasons but find lyrica amplifies it, a few find that lyrica calms it. It's a mess. Also, a few...

Yes. I strongly believe Pregabalin was the cause of my: tinnitus, visual snow, suicidal ideation, memory loss, insomnia for a time, weight gain. It worsened my depersonalization and anxiety by 100x. And I now feel more pains than I ever did before, although it's not as bad as many others...

Pregabalin, for some it works well, for some it does nothing. I am hopeful... Appointment in January.

Gabapentin is turning out to be the same horror story, this is not surprising as they are both gabapentinoids. I was informed pregabalin was the lesser of the two evils years ago but from what I have read and heard both drugs can cause horror stories just like Benzodiazepines.

What do you take Pregabalin for? I started taking PQQ yesterday and I am thinking I am going to like this supplement.

How are you going with the Luvox?

...I might need higher doses to deal with burning brain from benzo tolerance. Some ENTs specialized in tinnitus where I live even prescribe Pregabalin for it. I am still not tapering off Lyrica and using 225 mg daily. I am switching ADs (Sertraline to Fluvoxamine) and keeping the other...

@Jiri sorry I just read in another post that you completed the pregabalin taper at the end of last year. Has your tinnitus improved after the taper?

That's just to increase GABA in the brain to help with the withdrawal, but lyrica has it own withdrawal symptoms.

Pretty sure my privacy settings prevent people from PMing me unless I PM them first, so I will happily PM you, but keep in mind I am not a doctor and definitely not qualified to give medical advice. Certainly happy to share anything from my own experience that's helpful, though!

I take Gabapentin. No adverse effect on my tinnitus. I take 400 mg twice a day.

Thank you, a big Hug to you as well. I had been on Pregabalin for 18 months, tapered the Pregabalin and then Clonazepam for 9 months now. Trying to taper the latter now but the tinnitus has reached unbearable levels. What was your medication? Do you think it could be a cause of constant worsening?

Propecia causes tinnitus???

Why do you prefer Gabapentin? And doesn't it build tolerance whereas Pregabalin doesn't really or at least not quickly.

I've tried both gabapentin and pregabalin. Neither improved my symptoms, and both had extremely uncomfortable side effects.

Thank you @billie48, I'll do that

This study investigates the neuroprotective and anti-nociceptive effects of Ambroxol in oxaliplatin induced neuropathic pain in rats. Too bad 1000 mg/kg in rats equates to about 161 mg/kg for humans, which would far exceed normal Ambroxol doses. Interestingly enough 1000 mg/kg Ambroxol has a...

I really got nothing to add, besides what I have already said. I´m a really bad test-subject, since I´m deep in hellish benzo withdrawal. I suspect Tegretol worked so well because it has affinity on the GABA-A receptors. It was very anxiolytic as well. Stay away from benzos. They are the...

...could use just one quarter of a 15mg pill to get the effect. I'm trying to not go back to it though, only as a last resort. Same with the Pregabalin. The only issue I had with Pregabalin is that it made my thinking slower and concentration harder. No good when you work in computing. Not that...

So if Pregabalin doesn't reduce the noise then Gabapentin is unlikely to do you think? Or do they both work a lot differently?

How does it differ in effects from Pregabalin? I'd have to show studies on its usefulness for anxiety before they'd consider it I think.

...posted here to help. I don't find that it is used for tinnitus though. Interesting. Lyrica is Pfizer's trade name for a drug called pregabalin. Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant (anti-seizure) drug that is often used to treat neuropathic pain as well as partial seizures that are common in...

Same question!

I've been thinking back before the time I was diagnosed with mild hearing loss. They say it could be age related, but I am "only" 48. I remember taking 75 mg a day of Lyrica. I've read the official side effects, but I cannot find hearing loss as one of them. However, it seems like there is a...

...very recently (2018 onwards) to open potassium channels Kv7.2/3 & Kv7.5. Before this it was thought to be a calcium channel blocker. Pregabalin is similar but does not open potassium channels. I wonder if this is why it's rarely reported to reduce tinnitus compared to Gabapentin which...

Indeed, Star, gabapentin seems to be less stable at low dosages, which makes it a dirtier drug. However pregabalin is more powerful, which makes it harder to taper if taken at high dosages. They are nerve drugs, imagine any possible horrible side effect/withdrawal symptom and with nerves into...

Mirtazapine for sleep (tiny dose) and Pregabalin for anxiety pulled me through. I wouldnt be here today without the Pregabalin.

Ok, so a little update it's been almost two weeks I've been on Pregabalin 300 mg/a day. Yesterday my left (better) ear started a ringing a lot more in the evening, then it calmed down, then it starting ringing a bit loud too during the day and now it seems it's calm again. I don't know if...

...up in a mental house for 2 weeks when my Tinnitus first started. It was just that bad. The last week when I was there my starting dose of Pregabalin was 75 mg a 3 x day. Now I'm back home and my psychiatrist decided to upper intake the levels of Pregabalin to 2x 150 mg. I also take Clonazepam...

Is it constant? In both ears? I am very concerned with your nerve problems because it came out of nowhere. You could also try Pregabalin.

...suffer from insomnia, it is 100% related to work stress and 0% to tinnitus. I did not mention this in the post, but I have been taking Pregabalin for anxiety since the spring of 2020. It does not do anything for tinnitus but helps to keep the anxiety in check. Insomnia and anxiety definitely...

...10 mg Nortriptyline while I was also taking Xanax which I'm still on. All it did was increase the high pitched tinnitus sound in both my ears. I tried it for about 3 weeks & then stopped. It didn't do anything positive for me. For those that have ear pain, I would recommend taking Pregabalin.

Dude, you have all my support. You're smart and have great things ahead of you. Get fit, be physically strong. Be a little careful and have tons of fun. You deserve happiness. On that note, take care and be well.

What is the ototoxic drug book? I've been looking for a good resource that lists ototoxic drugs and their risks, so a book about it sounds great. Is it an eBook or a physical one?

Ya I think it would potentiate benzos - I generally leave a buffer between when I take Xanax and when I take Kava.

I'm just recovering from a very bad bout of sciatica for which I was prescribed pregabalin + naproxen for the crippling leg pain. I'm currently taking 300mg per day. I also have unilateral (very loud) tinnitus. I'd previously found my tinnitus was responsive to very large doses of Iburprofen...

Probably drugs that slow down neuroplasticity. I'm sure they would object to pregabalin too

I'm on Gabapentin's most powerful sister, Pregabalin. This has tinnitus as a frequent side effect (> 1%) and withdrawal symptom too. And yet, some medical doctor prescribe it to contain tinnitus. Gabapentin is a GABA analogue. It can give you withdrawals that are worse than benzos or similar. I...

Wow eight years? I had constant burning ear pain for two months (still have a bit) and it almost pushed me over the edge. Lyrica (pregabalin) helped me.

Hi, my friend. I am doing much better. My tinnitus is only properly audible in quiet places like my room. It is completely fine outside. My hyperacusis is healed about 90%, I say 90% because loud car horns still make me jump, otherwise my life has returned to normal. I am in my dream job right...

Posted this before about pregabalin. I know a lot of people who are on or who've tried pregabalin for pain. Some say it's helped but at least half who've trialed it seem to report pretty serious sounding mental or physical effects. It is the successor drug to Pfizer's neurontin and is...

...else is out there at the current moment. And of course no treatments for the tinnitus. But let's say the tinnitus isn't just simply from Pregabalin... then the other effects are still terrifying. In some ways I feel better, but in others I'm still suffering extremely. I never knew how...

I know RaZaH, know just how you feel. I'm sick of trying to deal with this thing and its only been 8 months. I'm taking Pregabalin now and that is an anxiolytic preferred to Benzos as there's no tolerance building. Next week Im tapering off the Benzo so I'll just be on Pregabalin and off the...

...I'm reading that some people relate their hearing loss to the this drug I'm beginning to get worried. Last thing I need is my T to get worse (obviously) so I hope Pregabalin will help in this respect just like it helped the user @Lyrica. Anyway, you're very kind and best of luck to the both...

...ototoxic drugs did nothing to reassure me considering I've been taking a few on this list for a few years on a daily basis... * Pregabalin, 150mg (4 years) * Cetirizine, 10-20mg (2 years) * Celebrex, on and off, 100-200mg (4 years) * Propranolol, 40mg (3 years) (was it on the list?) I've...

Pregabalin side effect. I mean I experienced it part of HPPD years back when I took a large dose of LSD, but it wasn't the same and that disappeared within a month or two after the incident. It gradually got better. Here? No change. Some days I think it even worsened from January lol But this...

That's great because pre existing hearing loss is the major cause of tinnitus with any time taken and amount of Pregabalin. Drug probably caused neurotransmission to the sympathetic nervous system causing tinnitus. Taking mind off tinnitus and lowering stress should greatly improve tinnitus.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but I would be interested in this. I seem to be experiencing louder and louder tinnitus while tapering Pregabalin. Has anyone else had the same experience and has it calmed down once off the drug?

Unfortunately... I LOVE SAUNAs, yet after Pregabalin my heart can't take it for too long. Whereas I could sit for 15-20 minutes, rest, and come back before... now I can barely handle 5-10 minutes. When I come out of the sauna, my heart is POUNDING and the first time I sat down and drank a lot of...

I am tapering off Pregabalin and my tinnitus has definitely gotten worse. That's how I found this thread, by looking for information to see if withdrawal is the cause. I'm glad, because that means it will most likely get better when I'm through the withdrawal period.

See the ACR DIY thread in the Treatments section. Steve there might be able to help you with generating a tone for you, or you can make use of generalfuzz's web app (the details are in the first post of the ACR DIY thread). Lyrica is the brand name for Pregabalin.

Some people who got tinnitus from pregabalin had it go away all of a sudden after two years off the drug. It's anecdotal but I know one person where this happened. Her hearing improved too. So in her case it wasn't damage to hair cells
