hi mick, my ear specialist actually said to cut out the alcohol as well as caffeine because it can worsen the tinnitus,you should find something other than alcohol to help you fall asleep,i take an anti-depressant without alcohol,keep busy , but even when you do relax try to concentrate on other...

I remember seeing your previous post that it also helped with your hyperacusis. When you stopped taking Trobalt, did the hyperacusis return to its previous level or stayed at the reduced level? I wonder what Kv potassium channel is related to hyperacusis/noxacusis. I’m hoping it’s related to...

Got my RTG 50mg today.(y) Does anyone drink alcohol while on this drug? By alcohol I mean one beer or or one scotch everyday:). Thank you Rog

I initially read the title as “Alcohol does not cure tinnitus”...

I PROVE IT MANY WEEKS AGO MIXED WITH ALCOHOL... AND MY T WAS VERY QUIET UNTIL THE NEXT DAY... Normally the alcohol makes it louder to me...Sorry about my english

This.. Alcohol is shit.

PEA does nothing for me. When I drink alcohol, it definitely makes my tinnitus worse during and the day after too. I drink coffee every day, but I don't think it has any effect really. It's hard to know when there are so many variables. I hope you're doing better now! Personally, I want...

...we couldn't find any. If you're lucky enough to have aloe plant growing in your window good. Because you need some. If you have rubbing alcohol good also, if not alcohol over 90 proof. Mix 2/3 cup alcohol to 1/3 cup aloe, add 10 drops tree tea oil got it at a health shop or same amount of...

@Bryce - Alcohol helps my tinnitus today, but I gave it up for at least 2 months when t started. I didn't trust myself with alcohol and was solely focused on figuring out the cause for my t when it started. We are all different though. Alcohol (in moderation) has a positive impact on my tinnitus...

You may want to rinse the plug after you do the above, as isopropyl alcohol might be ototoxic...

Who says this? Alcohol or caffeine is not Ototoxic in that it causes physical damage to your ears. It may however irritate your tinnitus however!

...die from a movement disorder. On the other hand, Clonazepam is safer in that regard, though it will not kill you unless you combine it with alcohol or other substances. I always keep plenty of Clonazepam on hand. That said, it can sometimes be difficult to find a doctor willing to prescribe...

Does alcohol have the same affect as benzos on the gaba receptors? I am withdrawing from alcohol and my tinnitus is bothering me alot more, seems harder to cope.

...2 days after my last update, it looks like I’ve woken up with a spike. Ugh. The only thing unusual I did yesterday was have a glass of wine. Many people report that alcohol helps their tinnitus (at least temporarily) but I’m going to cut all alcohol for a few months and see how that goes.

I'm not sure about tinnitus, but mixing MDMA with alcohol can give bad reactions. It's not a guarantee and there's definitely people that do enjoy this, but you are at an increased risk to have nausea, anxiety as well as even more reduced inhibition leading to stupid decisions (taking more...

Oh no! Should I stop using this medicine? I have used it only twice so far. It feels really bad. I'm avoiding alcohol in this phase, because I have read that excessive alcohol can be bad for my tinnitus. I hope to get over this without alcohol.

mixing benzodiazepines with alcohol is a bad idea. alcohol is a dose-dependent carcinogen and neurotoxin at any dose. it's a much nastier drug than benzos in terms of physical damage from simple use, and they do not play well together at all.

Hi, Ever since the onset of my pulsatile tinnitus, I quit all coffee (caffeine) and any alcohol, per doctor's orders. I suppose that's good for me. In the future, I’d like to have a glass of wine with the wife. Do any of you tinnitus sufferers drink alcohol in small moderation? Will...

...relief by drinking beer, and I will keep doing in so, in moderation, and reviewing my reactions. There is some common advice to abstain from alcohol as it will increase one's T. But I think the effect may vary from person to person. I found a survey at TT on this topic (below) and...

After the only time this year when I had a little alcohol, my T switched ears for the rest of the day.

I cannot stand alcohol cause in my whole life I think I had 3 beers in total :rolleyes: The moment I take a sip of alcohol I fall a sleep :D

I’ve been avoiding alcohol for fear that would increase my tinnitus based on what I have read and heard anecdotally, as I know for many it can cause spikes. I have found that in fact, more often than not, drinking alcohol actually quiets my tinnitus. Does anybody that phenomenon? I’m not a...

Benzodiazenes and antidepressants are not 'mind altering' drugs and to think that alcohol is a preferable 'treatment' is foolish and potentially much worse for your longer-term health than any psychiatric medication. I would strongly advise any tinnitus sufferer to seek competent medical help...

...tinnitus worse." On Tinnitus Talk alone there are reports of spikes being caused by: 3 glasses of Fanta caffeine a glass of cold water alcohol (I thought alcohol did some good things for GABA production?) I'm really doing the same thing though: I'm connecting my good day with the...

does alcohol help against T? ;D that would be a nice cure :D i have heard it made it worse :/

I'm finding alcohol helps. Dulls the tinnitus slightly, too.

I gave up alcohol 6 months ago and my tinnitus improved to a level where it didn’t bother me at all (I have had it for over 4 years). Then I had 2 pints last weekend and the tinnitus shot straight back up the next day. It's safe to say alcohol has a very bad impact on my, and probably many other...

I can't really mask because I share a room with my brothers. On the point of alcohol, I have read everywhere that it is really bad for tinnitus, but for me it has been a life saver. I regularly drank when I had mild tinnitus and it didn't affect my tinnitus at all. Last night was the first...

Alcohol is a central nervous systom suppressant, so one would feel a lessening of the tinnitus (it comes back strong as ever later of course). Ear "fullness" is classic tinnitus. The neck, shoulder, everything connects to the brain. So yes, that could amp it up, hopefully temporarily...

Dont know if my tinnitus is from probiotics, Seroquel or age- I am trying to eliminate everything to see if it helps. I know I now get intense jaw pain from alcohol at this age- so no alcohol

Hmmm... the list is long.

I wouldn't.

After years of low grade tinnitus issues, intensity is increasing to the point of great concern. Recently started a plant-based diet and after 6 weeks the tinnitus got worse. Alcohol seems to diminish symptoms while drinking but then return. Now trying a no alcohol and coffee regimen. Thoughts?

Too much alcohol results in tinnitus with a hangover - not good. Just enough - a pleasant feeling of relaxation which reduces perception of tinnitus, often a good sleep which is refreshing in itself. Alcohol in the right doses is definitely a boon.

I'll be honest - Alcohol totally numbed my T. (when I had it).. The sounds were so buried that I could barely hear it. I wouldn't be dependent on Alcohol, though. Isn't healthy and there's always consequences (health wise)

When you mentioned moonshine, did you mean the moon is shining or was alcohol involved lol.

...some serious drinkers who died young due to the bottle and I didn’t mean to imply that I was trying to drink myself to death. I do find that alcohol helps me to cope but in all actuality I seldom drink more than 3 drinks/day because more than that really messes up my sleep cycle and leaves...

For me alcohol really helps, couple of glasses of red wine and maybe a shot of whiskey and it's all good. The balance issue stays but is morphed with the alcohol, it's a double edged sword but better than reality.

Where did you read this? I’m pretty much the same.

I added the option: "Neither alcohol nor caffeine affect my mood about tinnitus"

I pretend to like people everyday. That’s called being an adult and that’s why we’re allowed to buy alcohol....

I find that I don’t hear my tinnitus as much when I drink alcohol. That’s not to suggest I’m drinking every night but I just noticed it doesn’t seem to worsen it. I have very little caffeine. I drink decaf tea. My only addiction is a tiny tiny bottle of Coke Zero. I’m not really sure it does...

For me alcohol tones my T down a shade...or rather...getting a slight buzz makes me completely not focus on my T...I care less about it. But it generally doesn't turn my T down to zero. All said, I never use alcohol to get rid of my T. I only drink in certain social situations for fun because...

I think alcohol exacerbates my tinnitus. Sometimes I have a glass of wine at night, and the next morning my noise is worse. Although I didn't have any alcohol last night, and today it is SOOOOO LOUD!!!! Ugh!!!

6 drinks is probably a week's worth of alcohol, or should be. The bottom line is that alcohol in any quantity is neurotoxic and carcinogenic, and there's pretty good data showing a linear relationship between various cancers, and alcohol consumption. Meaning, this effect does not disappear when...

Alcohol helps me survive.

Try some of this. This is grain alcohol so strong just one small glass of it and I'm gone. lol. Just look at the alcohol volume. Drink this and you wouldn't need trobalt for your tinnitus.

Actually, I think it was not an ounce but 2.5 ounces.

I know this is an old thread but really really hoping this wouldn't mean that those of use treating on benzos would need to go off for 6 months prior to treating with Susan's device if it makes it to market.

OK. So tinnitus was new to me til I had a week long ear ringing after a concert last year. October 10th is when I had relief. It has basically been non existent since then, only noticeable in a silent room when I am actually trying to hear it. Yesterday all day and til about 9 at night, I...

I'm pretty certain alcohol increases mine too, but since I flucuate it's impossible to know. New Year's Day I did have champagne and did not get loud; but I was loud the next day. In general, alcohol either reduces or increases your noise. But, since alcohol acts on GABA receptors, you would...

Coffee does nothing, Alcohol lowers it

No. Not everyone gets goosebumps from music.

Yes, I also noted this in one of my posts. Alcohol is a definite "no" on this drug. I also cited the clinical trial information regarding alcohol and Retigabine. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/retigabine-trobalt-potiga-%E2%80%94-general-discussion.5074/page-12#post-57664

@SmallRonnie, just take it easy with that stuff pal.
