    Pregabalin Changed My Life Forever (Negatively)

    ...before. So it's like the best jobs are either very loud, or in a very quiet office spaces. I don't know what I will do. I regret taking Pregabalin every, single, day.

    Acoustic CR® Neuromodulation: a New Treatment for Tinnitus

    Well I'm a fellow 'Pathetic' then Jazz. I've always hated prescription drugs and look at me now; Pregabalin. Clonazepam and Mirtazapine. That's how I was when I couldnt function "Just give me anything!" I honestly think Ibuprofen is a bad idea because its linked to T. I think your raised T is...

    ...It can happen also with a ear infection. I had hearing loss pre-tinnitus but zero tinnitus. Then I got a ear infection while I was on pregabalin and the tinnitus started even if the hearing loss didn't change. As if the medication/virus had told the nervous system "hey, you have hearing loss...

    Is It Safe to Take Ashwagandha Long-Term? Can It Make Tinnitus Worse?

    Lavender pills are great. They are a natural alternative to drugs like Gabapentin and Pregabalin and work on calcium channels. Modulation of T-type Ca2+ channels by Lavender and Rosemary extracts

    Root Canal Needed — My Tinnitus Is Worsened by Noise

    I'm really sorry to hear that. If I find anything that helps me you'll be the first to know.

    Valdoxan (Agomelatine) Worsened My Tinnitus

    I didn't try Gabapentin as it is a weaker version of Pregabalin but given the desperation I could try to add it to Clonazepam. I do use Melatonin to sleep, it helps a little. I haven't tried that dose of benzos, I would need a doctor to approve them and it's not easy to find such doctors. Did...

    Pregabalin (Lyrica)

    Well, I checked with my GP and it exists in my country. Risking taking it and getting visual snow just seems not worth it. So in other words antidepressants even in combo (Pregabalin + Clonazepam) will give you tinnitus if you don't have it already or make it worse if you already have it?

    ...Maybe kratom and high doses of CBD? I wouldn't usually recommend kratom but hey, doesn't really matter if you would be dead otherwise. And then there's stuff like pregabalin and oxycodone. I don't think opiates are ototoxic at least If you know why you're in pain, please tell us so we can help.

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    Amen. Addiction psychiatrists told me that only now they are starting to see the long term effects of pregabalin. It was marketed as a wonder drug initially. For me it turned out to be an ongoing horror story

    Stress-Induced Tinnitus Turned Into Awful Engine Like Sound, Audible Over Everything

    Hi Glynis. A day or two after the new tone started, I started taking a low dose of Pregabalin to calm down. It's only 25mg and it's been helping me with panic attacks. So not sure if this is linked in any way. What do you think? Before that I took Clindamycin for two days for an infection...
