Do you take any benzo at the moment?

Considering that there was some distance and barrier (wall and a window) in between you and these things, they won't be able to do any damage..you were probably exposed to 50 decibels at the most.

I’ve got good news and bad news and good news. Good news is that prescription ototoxic tinnitus is more likely to fade over time and go away than noise induced. So you are already have a better outcome than most. This is based on many anecdotal reports of people getting better due to ototoxic...

...not always respond to the usual treatments for tinnitus (maskers, etc); nor is it always relieved by restarting benzodiazepines. This is my tinnitus, due to an ear infection but worsened by an attempt to come off Pregabalin. A very high frequency sound, painful and super intrusive, electric...

...that it worked pretty well. You could ask him, or another person, to see how to manage the pain until you get better. Just be careful with pregabalin, especially in the long-term. Ideally, you should not take any drug which could complicate things. An ear infection? Well, I don’t know, a...

Lose the shrink.. your psychiatrist is dangerous to your health and life. Lose the motherf*cker asap. You have mentioned this individual and your ENT being negligent, ill-informed, and unable to do their job. Reading what you have said and being concerned for you... this makes me furious. If I...

I'm so sorry to hear about your struggle and I'm beyond pissed off, that nobody is taking this condition seriously. Tinnitus at this level should be classified as a medical emergency, same as a stroke, or heart attack. I believe that one day in the future, the current treatment of Tinnitus...

I was put on Pregabalin for about 2 months. I was started off on 1x 25mg tablet a day for about 2 weeks and told to increase gradually if tolerated. I was then taken up to 150mg three times a day and then told I could take up to 600mg per day but only if needed. Overall it made me feel very...

At this point your anxiety is cementing the tinnitus deeper in your brain. I highly recommend you get something to calm your nerves which are hyper excited. Xanax is a benzo with a reputation of lowering tinnitus volume, which is what you need, but you still have to be careful. Please take...

From this article: "Next Allan described a fascinating experiment in mice, illustrating a potential approach to targeting one of the contributors to neuropathic pain: the loss of inhibitory signaling. In this approach the missing GABAergic neurons are replaced by transplanting embryonic...

...of a knocking out effect. But then why not just prescribe Temazepam? What's up with this guy, why wont he prescribe Remeron for you? Pregabalin is still in patent, as Dale says. I had to get my privately as the doc was being a PITA and it cost £108 for a months supply. The pricate Psych...

...frequency of my tinnitus is very high but everything stops at 8khz with ents and audiology. My case is complicated by a medication called pregabalin. We don't know if it is helping or harming me. Doctors are uncertain but in my current state I can't get off it. What I was looking for was a...

I honestly don't know about Agmatine. I believe it has to do with nitric oxide which has more to do with Glutamate action. You are polydrugging to a point. My niece died with 5 meds, that caused depressed breathing. I have met a person who stared straight ahead, and say "I am on 4 meds, I don't...

Hi Chinmoku, My tinnitus was caused by ototoxic medication. A powerful non-steroidal anti-inflammatory a doctor prescribed to me for some back pain as she was too nervous to prescribe a perfectly safe codeine pill. That was 8 years ago and I'm still living with the consequences. Over the years...

...After a while I also get some slight spams in my cheek. I hope it will settle down. You have tried anticonvulsants right? (gabapentin/pregabalin, etc) PS. I assume you have seen the thread about stellate ganglion nerve block and elimination of pain? I would pursue that option if I were...

I was given it for nerve pain and anxiety I can relax my body very effectively but this horror keeps worsening regardless. It does not fluctuate at all. It is steady, worsening torture 24/7 and it does not respond to anything I tried. Frankly, I don't buy the stress explanation. There is...

...ear infection but it got worse and worse over the months. Now it is practically unbearable. I did many tests but no clear cause. I was on pregabalin when the tinnitus hit me. It took me almost 17 months to stop that medication. I have been off 6 weeks now but I am on low dose clonazepam to...

...former since there's a chance it won't cause hearing loss. FWIW, Doc examined both ears and didn't detect any problems. He prescribed me Pregabalin for two weeks but I haven't taken them because I think that's a slippery slope. I already take Gabapentin for back pain/sciatica caused by...

Thanks a lot. Really. I'll give it a shot as soon as I stop taking Pregabalin, Betahistine, Clonazepam, Brintellix and Rivotril. I'm now like a walking chemical plant. Then it should also be easier with the workouts too. Same here. Ended up in an emergency psychiatry as a result for 2 weeks...

This non benzo medication, a non binding gaba NMDA receptor within their pipeline has a label for anxiety adjustment and Post-traumatic stress disorders. They have FDA Fast Track, the only non addictive medication within class, no taper needed, no known side issues and may help with...

...And the pain I experience is burning and tingling and stabbing, similar to neuropathic pain. It spreads out sometimes which is why I think facial nerves are affected but most of the time, the pain is deep inside and around the ears. It also responds to nerve meds like pregabalin, which I take.

I feel you. Dealing with GAD myself... Look into glutamate antagonist drugs with your psychiatrist. Attack the problem from another side maybe... leave the GABA side of things alone for now since it took some hits. And give your tinnitus some time without gabaergic drugs. I saw you posted...

...a few drugs (anticonvulsants) that can be used for epilepsy which may help some (not all) with tinnitus: Trobalt Carbamazepine Neurontin Pregabalin Topamax Not recommended long term: Barbiturates Benzodiazepines I have read other accounts here where some other anticonvulsant drugs have...

I would say we loosely agree...with some exception. You don't have to be a medical doctor to suggest medical help for somebody suicidal. You agree with me that Allan who is sick is best served by seeing a psychiatrist. It would only be then it would be exposed that there 'may' be an AD and...

...after 5 days - it's now 3 weeks later and it hasn't improved. It seems like it's actually getting worse. I have since been prescribed pregabalin for anxiety, but I am afraid to take it in case it also worsens the T. Any louder will drive me to despair. Have you tried CBT for depression? It...

...idea that psychiatric medication is always a solution to our problems. In retrospective, in my case, CBD oil would have worked much better than pregabalin. Unfortunately I can't take it now because it spikes my tinnitus and at the time I started pregabalin for anxiety and pain it was not...

Are your doctors aware of ALL your symptoms? Did you give gaba and pregabalin a good go before ceasing to see if they would help? Another good med to try would be amitriptyline. You only took your benzos for 2 months and they helped you a great deal, why are you stopping them? I still...

Yes. Thank you so much for your reply. I will see my doctor next Monday. Maybe it is because I am already 7 months after T onset and I am hoping turning the corner sooner or later without additional meds. And I have no more panic attacks, seldomly crying. I have the impression that I seem "to...

...number of GABA receptors. So once you get off the Benzo you are left with less GABA than you started with hence the greater hyperactivity. Pregabalin is supposed to be non tolerance building so it keeps working at the same dose. I dont blame you for trying for AM-101. Why not? Although I...

I told my friend psychiatrist that medications are not tested long enough in clinical trials. The thousands of cases of Pregabalin withdrawal syndrome don't exist for official medicine because they didn't observe them in trials but trials were short. Psychiatrists often disregard claims that...

It's tough as hell for spouses as well. I think we should be way more upset with the "experts" publishing pseudoscience -- and the narcissistic ENT's who look at a basic hearing test and think they know your ears. From a family member's perspective, they are not in your body and all of the...

17 months here and same story. 3 am awaken. Constant worsening. I don't know why. We have pregabalin in common. I have been off the drug 8 days after a long taper and overall 2 years use. I'm older than you but worried for my kids. You think the worsening is due to continued mini noise-traumas...

...the floaters more. I don't know if there is any truth in this. It's a fact though that floaters can be a withdrawal symptom of benzos and pregabalin and some people claim they go away after a while. I always wondered about it, if they are impurities in the vitreous, what is the drug...

...other drugs included an antidepressant Brintellix/Trintellix (I stopped taking it about 4 weeks ago) and this antiepileptic drug known as Pregabalin/Lyrica. I'm still taking Pregabalin (from 300 mg/a day I'm now down to 150 mg/a day) and will try to wean myself off of it when I no longer will...

...reported. She wakes up everyday and goes through the same routine, which is straight into an anxiety attack. She got prescribed Pregabalin (50 mg) to tackle this but is fairly resistant at taking it everyday due to past experiences with medication. We signed up to a lady called Debbie...

...places/activities and when I wore ear protection. It took a long time though and I'm still far from baseline. However, I did take Lyrica (pregabalin) for a few months. It helped take the edge off the pain a bit. But the side effects are crazy, so I decided it wasn't worth taking it. I also...

These people are self serving idiots. I have little time for any of them anymore. I would be happy to never see a doctor again, but unfortunately I will have to at some point. I've seen two psychiatrists in my life, many years apart. They were the biggest waste of money ever. And they cost...

Lyrica is great for social anxiety or gabapentin. "Long-term trials have shown continued effectiveness without the development of tolerance, and, in addition, unlike benzodiazepines, it has a beneficial effect on sleep and sleep architecture, characterized by the enhancement of slow-wave...

What's your take on tinnitus as a form of HPPD? Since psychedelics can cause visual snow and VS seems linked to tinnitus, it's not that far-fetched. I "re-noticed" my tinnitus/got my spike during a high dose experience. It's hard to shake the feeling that psychedelics somehow caused it. It's...

Lyrica or pregabalin works through GABA but does not actually bind to it. It is a neuropathic pain med, and also makes you want to sleep, both of which help me out. My tinnitus has got a lot better the last several days, but I am doing a combination of things: constant rainfall sounds via...

...This from another forum ,any thoughts for her please,Pete ok so having recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia i was prescribed lyrica pregabalin by my GP. reluctant to take this without first googling it-i opened a can of worms. it seems that on the one hand it has been said that as well...

...it doesn't make any sense on what makes it come and what makes it go, hard to habitutate. One more question lol: Have you tried Lyrica (pregabalin) or just different opioids? Ps. I mean since you wrote about ghost sound, have you researched ketamine clinics? Some of them clinics offer like...

You have had some really bad luck. Please hang on in there friend, and keep us updated on how things are going.

...illegal in most states and some groups prohibit you from discussing illegal substances. The most helpful drugs by far were Gabapentin and Pregabalin and it’s even been acknowledged by Hyperacusis Research that these drugs are helpful for pain hyperacusis for some people. Tramadol would...

...down the dosage it makes little difference. This is compatible with tolerance withdrawal but who knows if it is really that. Two years of Pregabalin may have impacted my GABA system in the inner ear and then Clonazepam may have worsened things further once off the Pregabalin. This is the only...

...Also backed up by an actual research paper. I heard that Magnesium promotes nerve regeneration as well. When I wean myself off Pregabalin(Lyrica). I'll try Magnesium (365 mg/day) + Turmeric/Curcumin + Thiamine and vitamin B12. I'll also look more into the medicinal mushrooms and discuss it...

Mine has gotten worse, but my hearing damage is pretty severe (my high frequency is gone), I can't just "live my life" the way I did before T, I tried that for a year and it didn't end well. It really depends on your level of damage, if you're like me then for the love of god stay away concerts...

...However, it did very little for my tinnitus, hyperacusis and pain. I went through a lot of medications: Paracetamol, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Pregabalin, Laroxyl (Amitriptyline), Prozac (Fluoxetine), Quetiapine, Lorazepam (Temesta)... with little success. Laroxyl, especially, boosted my tinnitus...

...really, but they won't do anything and I am just suffering. The tinnitus has got from mild to crazy in 13 months and I can't get off this pregabalin medication I am taking if the tinnitus does not improve. What a mess. That's an admirable attitude, I wish I had that strength, I feel I am...

...normally take regarding anti-inflammatories. Do you know why Topiramate was prescribed to your rather than something like Gabapentin or Pregabalin? I am ambivalent around antidepressants because I have been a long-time user of them for anxiety but, at the same time, I am unsure whether...

...an educated opinion on the gaba issue, including otologists, neuro-otologist, pharmacologists and psychiatrists. The two drugs I took were pregabalin (normal to low dosage, 2 years, now off completely) and Clonazepam (4 months, trying to come off, again normal to low dosage). There are gaba...

What's up buddy, same matt from the Rogan boards right?? Sucks to hear you're still not doing any better, out of curiosity have any of the doctors tried you on some sort of anti-inflammatory steroid? They're not designed for long term use, and there's potential side effects and all that other...

...Especially as we taxpayers pay for it, and what we get just isn't enough in many cases. I very much am sorry for you. I wonder whether Pregabalin is as expensive in the UK as it is here. It's called "Lyrica" and costs an arm and a leg. Very expensive stuff. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THAT...

...bear the panic feelings anymore I started to take it every night. I had no choice. Luckily before the effects of it wore off I found Pregabalin. Its a psychiatrist you need to see for the Pregabalin, and in fact for any of the other drugs that are know to help T, normal doctors seem...

I've seen your videos online in YouTube where you talk about your symptoms. I thought the same! How weird?

...is doing. I suspect that the microsuction earwax removal caused the onset of my hyperacusis. Also, to add to the problem, my GP prescribed Pregabalin medication which can, apparently, cause hyperacusis although my doctor was unaware of this. I did have a problem with hyperacusis 3 years ago...

Is her tinnitus the root of all of this or is something else causing it, like a traumatic event, and the tinnitus is an additional stressor?

Can you go on short term leave from your job? I did this for health reasons for 6 months at about 85% pay. It is not a government benefit - rather we have a private insurer for circumstances such as these. It might give you some breathing room to operate more effectively.

I feel for you so much @Chinmoku. This thing is a beast, and you seem to have the beast of all beasts. I so hope you can find a way through this and get even a little relief.

...from a personal point of view. It is taking me a great effort to write this post. When tinnitus hit me due to a ear infection I was on Pregabalin, a stronger version of Gabapentin, for other reasons. Not sure about this drug, suspecting that it was not good for me it took me more than one...
