What I am hearing from you is...no approach. You don't know a path. If not a psychiatrist to help than who? A family doctor? An audiologist? Your uncle? The tooth fairy? And where I would differ from you is...while you are trying to invent the wheel, Rome burns. That is the problem. The...

...slightly and it makes me wonder. Are there any other members on here that have a similar response to their benzos? Does anyone else have any experience with Pregabalin (Lyrica)? Should I give it a go? My tinnitus doesn't bother me that much but putting it even more in the background would be...

...people who got it. It gives a big section on how bad benzos are, no necessarily for damage to hearing but for the rest of it with them. Pregabalin is a risk 4, which is high :( I had asked in another email somewhere a while ago if I could post it on the site somewhere so everyone could...

...and so seems louder. I could get headphones but I dont want to just yet. I want to try to habituate. I've had a really good reaction to Pregabalin. Its an excellent anxiolytic and doesnt have the tolerance building aspect to it that the Benzos do so I should be able to keep on this same...

...the others, other than the ones you take that are on my list.... Carbamazepine (anti-convulsant), Retigabine (Potassium Channel Opener), Pregabalin (Lyrica), Tianeptine (anti-D which reduces Glutamate), Acamprosate was high on the list until today when I had the email about the failure of a...

...tinnitus drugs linopirdine (Dup966, a potassium channel blocker), L-carnitine (an antioxidant), or selective Ca(2+) channel antagonists pregabalin (Lyrica), or gabapentin (Neurontin) at various concentrations. PTZ increased spike rate by 139.6±27% and burst rate by 129.7±28% in auditory...

Sorry to hear you are going through this @El BUZZ . I had constant worsening for almost one year. Now I'm off pregabalin but need a benzo to barely cope. I don't know if I can get through this. I have two kids but this monster seems impossible to beat. Let's stick together. Will you try len ire...

You are where I am!! Today my tinnitus is the worst it has ever been. I'm having one constant panic attack as my ears scream. The screaming came first and then the panic. This is unbearable.

...And this drug, to be effective, requires a few days of testing, hoping one does not obtain permanent damage. It was hell tapering from Pregabalin for me, I wouldn't want to get into another such story. However in this state I can't go on, got to try something. Pharmacologically the things...

...seems to be the only reason for my constant worsening and the transition from mild to severe in the 9 initial months, but differently from pregabalin, reducing clonazepam is not giving me any other symptom than more intrusive tinnitus and we know of people who are not on medication and whose...

Pretty sure NAC works on Glutamate and Glutathione. Hey, fellow OCD person here. I understand going down the polydrug world. I am finding you can't polydrug to fix OCD. I'm off ADs right now. Going through withdrawals. Still on Valium 10 mg and 2000 mg of Gabapentin. Fish oil is used to help...

Many people after Pregabalin report being sensitive to sounds, even those without tinnitus.. here's some examples from the FB group Lyrica Survivors: "Yes, quite a lot while tapering. Heard voices, someone jiggling the doorknob. Saw shadows.Yes, quite a lot while tapering. Heard voices, someone...

...blood tests. No clear diagnosis. We tried oral steroids, antiviral medication, vasodilators. Nothing. I am tapering a medication called pregabalin and as I go down tinnitus seems to get worse, otherwise I would tend to habituate. I am not sure what to do next, I may need AD medication as my...

...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...

@object16; Can you parse out the source of these positive effects? That is, how much of your recent improvement is due to Lyrica alone? In any case, I am happy to hear you are doing so much better! -Golly

@daedalus; Your med list is long, but not exhaustive. I am surprised at the absence of Gabapentin and Pregabalin. Certainly disappointing that none of them did a thing for you. I notice that you tried Cyclobenzprine. Do you believe there is a connection between your tinnitus and jaw muscle...

...as a Benzo, especially on the somatic features of anxiety (I think that means the shaking and physical feelings of panic). Its called Pregabalin (Lyrica). Its very, very good. Its also instant, doesnt have to build up in the blood. It saved my life. I couldnt cope with the panic, I had it all...

...day goes well. I have to craft a resume, something that might land me a job within walking distance of my apartment because I, at least for now, cannot see myself as a responsible driver after nights of hell or drugs. I will look for Pregabalin and Lyrica, and I thank you for you kind words Frank

...my right ear is getting worse and worse and I wanted to see what was doing it. The answer is probably nothing I'm eating (unless its the Pregabalin) as it probably wouldve just happened anyway, like many other people who have had T start in one ear and then also start in the other. What a...

...T went up. The volume increased and in over a week later still hasn't gone back down. Not risking that again. I wish that you could get Pregabalin for anxiety. Its a very, very good drug. I've had no side effects (that I know of) and the anxiety much, much reduced. its a better choice than...

Yeah, I have tried Lyrica and Gabapentin. Both made me feel extra dumb on top of the hyperacusis induced brain fog that I already have. They both also made my hands burn and swell. Gabapentin seemed to help a bit with the pain the first couple of days, but then quickly stopped. If I upped my...

...aren't thinking it, do have that long term babies fantasy) as far as potential is concerned. Gotten any better? Are you 100% it was the Pregabalin or did you listen to loud noise and possibly get yourself set up for this? I recently took Pregabalin for my reactive tinnitus. It helped a bit...

I actually tried Acamprosate, way before benzos and it did nothing for my tinnitus, but I felt it was worth a try as some people have had good results... I also tried Gabapentin, thank god only short term, but it did nothing for me either. Honestly, Chinmoku, I have seen two neurologists due to...

...and hearing loss that I'm dealing with. It's just one of the many symptoms of protracted withdrawals (and probably brain damage) from Pregabalin. My personality changed completely. I went from a confident, suit-wearing young entrepreneur to a disabled, angry and suicidal young man who can't...

I did post my story in the introduction section. I was already on pregabalin when I got tinnitus. As I said before in the acute suicide phases a psychiatrist may help. Allan tried a few AD drugs already, there's that to consider. Perhaps a _short_ course of clonazepam instead could help but...

...stop this worsening trend or find out a clear reason why this is happening. When I was hit by tinnitus I was on an average dose of pregabalin. I thought the drug could be contributing and started reducing it under supervision. It took me months and a lot of pain to get to a very low dose...

Yes, I wrote a very detailed letter to my doctors about all of my symptoms. I stayed on pregabalin for about 10 days and it triggered what I would describe as a manic episode. I could not handle it mentally. Gabapentin wasn't quite so bad from what I can remember, but it increased my...

Are there any foods that upset the GABA/Glutamate????

...it, for a big difference I have to take a lot, 1800 mg-2400 mg per day. I've recently had a very bad bout of sciatica and was prescribed Pregabalin and that may also have lessened it. I've not had the chance for a conversation with my doctor about that... Sometimes I can be sat on the sofa...

Yes, Greg, I have read of people having dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome (DAWS) and it looks horrible. My doctor would like me to try Pramipexole but I'm concerned. Sulodexide is not available in the UK and he is not keen on that type of medication or Pentoxifylline, for some reason. If the...

I looked into lithium orotate as a mood stabilizer when I was tapering Pregabalin. It would calm me down but I was not taking it for long periods because of conflicting information. On one hand it seems to be neuro protective, on the other hand it could turn toxic in the long run. Problem is...

...Sandra, I need to add my thoughts here. I am just like you with Tinnitus - I could not live with the anxiety, it was debilitating. For me Pregabalin has literally been a life saver. 3 times now. It has such a remarkable effect on my anxiety. It basically lets you live normally again. I have...

Thank you so much for sharing that new knowledge :) It definitly makes me more calm to know it is not an SSRI and that their are no cases of T from it (at least that we know of)

...where this particular drug instigated tinnitus in anybody. Though, she admitted she cannot know all the studies. This drug in a combo with Pregabalin(Lyrica) should be safe as well. I was told this by 2 other psychiatrists. That is one antidepressant in a combination with a antiepileptic...

...is jumping off a bridge perhaps one could try it. Nobody in the forum benefited from it, but there is a case where norytriptiline and pregabalin cured one person. Also, this forums tends to attract mostly horror story, it could be that in an unbiased sample some people had success with it...

...benzos, I was hoping they would help me. I need to buy 10-12 years to my kids, then it will be all right whatever happens. I had been on Pregabalin for about 2 years, but tinnitus was worsening all the time, so the doctor at some point switched me to Clonazepam. I have started at 0.25 mg and...

...have been paying that out of the small savings I had, which are gone now! I think once you get the sleep sorted and maybe the anxiety with Pregabalin, then you'll be more able to tackle things and go to work. The drugs dont have to stay forever, they are just needed to get you out of the...

Have you ever tried Gabapentin or Pregabalin for the nerve pain? Cymbalta is also an anti-depressant commonly prescribed for diabetic nerve pain. I'm so sorry. I know what it's like to feel ashamed of being alive. Maybe try to get the pain under control (if possible) and then figure out other...

...stage. Its anxiety and depression. And, they are common with this affliction. The drugs do help. I could function again once I got on the Pregabalin. You're right that its a battle. A battle of wills almost. My plan is to do TRT. I was PMing with someone from here who has done it and he...

...search on melatonin on the board. You'll find that other people benefitted, and there's been research studies on the drug. But if you take Pregabalin tell you doctor about any OTC drugs you're taking, including melatonin, if pertinent. Drugs will interact with each other, and it's better to...

...about the auditory system since my own problems started. My two cents: it seems this might have something to do with the fact that pregabalin specifically is a GABA analogue drug. I think @AVIYT alluded to this a bit. Anything that upsets the GABA/Glutamate ratio can affect tinnitus. If...

...the tinnitus goes up to unbearable level. Even assuming I can get to zero with monster tinnitus AND all the other horrible pains the pregabalin reduction would give me (you have experienced some of them with Clonazepam withdrawal, Star), what do I do if the tinnitus does not calm down once I...

My mood is already down. I would like to solve this ear pain and even hope it can be solved. Do you know how it is having loud tinnitus and extremely hear pain? I suspect it isn't typical hyperacusis because it's not like identifiable noise causes it. Not that I can tell. Plus, the pain...

...pain. Did you ask about why the change from a benzo like Ativan to Gabapentin? It seems like these anticonvulsants like Gabapentin and Pregabalin are strong stuff. I might have to read up on it again. I had been taking ADs for a long time before tinnitus. I also suspected that an AD that I...

These are the exact same thoughts that I have, I don't even know what to add. Basically, we have no other choice than try and get rid of these drugs at some point. I've considered staying on them while waiting for regenerative medicine too, but when I'm being honest to myself, the more I up the...

...So I started taking Gabapentin. Got all the way up to 1,600 mg while still on the Clomipramine. Then I wanted to switch Gabapentin for Pregabalin (Lyrica). But I actually had a psychotic episode with mixing so many meds. I basically went into full blown serotonin syndrome for 72 hours. I...

I did not have many problems before taking Pregabalin for GAD, that's how my Tinnitus started. Withdrawal made things worse, but it seems I've been in a protracted withdrawal state for a few months now. Things got bad so I saw another psychiatrist for the intrusive thoughts and anxiety...

...secrets where that OBVIOUSLY is illegal). I pissed off many people with my content. The last videos I made were about my mistakes with Pregabalin and hearing loss / tinnitus. I mean it's funny how even Pfizer banned the Facebook group with Pregabalin from public view. But I'm not into...

Update. Today is the last day of my psycho drugs withdrawal - I'm going to take the last pill of Pregabalin and that's it. The withdrawal itself was really a traumatic experience. It's not easy to forgive the person who shouted in my r. ear and propably gave me the constant "eeeeee" tone but to...

...to other symptoms. Anyways, with 2 doctor referrals I went to a psychiatrist. A very well known and highly rated, expensive psych. I got Pregabalin for anxiety and fears. I took it for a week and was instructed to raise my dose. Mind you, I've never had suicidal ideation or anything of the...

...Seroquel 3 days before it started. I have also been taking low dose Lorazepam for bouts of anxiety for 2 weeks now. I started a low dose Pregabalin a day after the onset of new symptoms, so I doubt it is because of that. Prior to the onset, I had also been expressing extreme...

...with Dr. Westcott and she has actually stopped endorsing this kind of treatment and is now advocating coping strategies and Gabapentin/Pregabalin instead. To me this seem like walking backwards into the future. I might try the spiral ganglion nerve blockade again, but this time inject botox...

...my 1st week of Clonazepam and Brintellix/Trintellix withdrawal after being on them for 6 months nonstop. The sad thing is I was meant to be slowly withdrawn from Clonazepam after my first month on it (while I still wasn't physically dependent on it) and instead Pregabalin should've been...

Don't be ashamed for being alive at least. I know how tough life is as well. But if you have at least touched somebody else's life in your lifetime, that's all that matters. I know it sounds cliché but it's true.

...cinnarizzina (can give significant results). Keppra, levetiracetam (can give significant results especially for hyperacusis). Lyrica, pregabalin (can give significant results in a small number of cases). Others: Lamictal, lamotrigine (solo or in combination with Parmadolin...

...if taken for a long time since they mess up the body's natural production of important hormones. - Calcium channel blockers: Drugs like Pregabalin and Gabapentin have shown some effect on reducing tinnitus and its annoyance. Probably the only type of drugs, which have been properly tested for...

...that it sounds like I have this palatal myoclonus, although as my palate was not twitching at this moment, he couldn't confirm. I take pregabalin already for pain relief and he said that this is one of the drugs he would suggest to take to help minimise the twitching. I kind of think he is...

...the therapy. 5. In my case I should wait to be off drugs completely and also that the effects of the drug recede. I'll jump to zero with Pregabalin tomorrow but resetting my brain might take months or years and it is not clear whether I can tolerate staying off the drug. In this sense it is...

...pain. As a result of his reading, he suggested that I can try carbamazepine, because this is a chronic pain medication. I already take pregabalin which is also a chronic pain med, as well as mirtazapine and Seroquel and imovane. so I am on quite a bag of medications. My main issue is...

...I gave in to Clonaz last night because, well, basically I was falling apart. I received a call from my doctor this morning concerning the Pregabalin and Remeron that Louise recommended and he told me I would have to see a neurologist because he only prescribes xanax and clonaz for tinnitus...
