...stable tinnitus. I’ve tried every supplement and sound therapy known to man, but the only things that have had any effect for me have been Clonazepam, Gabapentin, and Lidocaine patches worn on the back of the neck. Both drugs are a bit of a serious step for managing tinnitus, and many GPs may...

It's what I take. 30 mg. No noticeable impact on tinnitus. It helps sleep. I would rather be on no medication but not if my life is even worse. I still take 2 mg Diazepam most days and Clonazepam once a week.

Month 3 Update: I'll keep it short. Still taking a low dose of clonazepam (0.3 mg + 0.3 mg). Tinnitus: It's relatively stable. I have some good days and some that are a bit worse, but overall, it's moving within a narrow range. Sleep: No problems with sleep. There have been a few days when I...

I'm interested in what country he is in. Can you imagine something like that happening in the UK? You've definitely started something with these patches. I'm getting bombarded with messages from people asking about them and buying them. I used just a quarter of a patch, and it still seemed...

All I know is I'd still have a livable level of tinnitus and some sound tolerance if I hadn't been pushed to take Clonazepam everyday. You probably build tolerance and get worse. I would stay away from all drugs if I were you. If you can live without drugs and eat a low inflammation diet and...

Yes, my situation was quite unusual. I had catastrophic hyperacusis. I kept my storm windows closed in the summertime because I couldn’t handle the noise from distant air conditioners, which sounded as loud as Boeing 747s to me. I even installed heat pumps in my house, but I could only operate...

Many lives have been lost and ruined by benzos; especially tinnitus sufferers who made the mistake of being on Clonazepam daily. I am stuck at 1.5 mg daily and I have worse tinnitus than I could have ever imagined being able to live with. I wish more people were like you and advocated for...

My doctor is also a psychiatrist, so definitely has experience with benzos, which makes his comment more confusing.

Yeah the COVID-19 vaccine worsened his tinnitus. Klonopin (Clonazepam) taper caused the nasty tones. He said he was somewhat doing better before the Klonopin too. He was allowing time to heal, kept getting worse and acquiring new tones. After having a small better period he got a helicopter tone...

I asked my doctor about Clonazepam and he refuses to prescribe it unless it's for epilepsy or end of life. He said it's much more addictive than Alprazolam which surprised me.

...you. Avoid all loud places and try to continue with your normal activities in low to moderate environments. Personally, occasional use of clonazepam has been helpful for me. A potentially better approach might be to consider the NeuroMed combined approach based on Dr. Hamid Djalilian's...

2-3 1 mg doses of Clonazepam a month for about the past four months and you believe you are having withdrawal? What makes you think they are related @GoatSheep? Do you feel any better if you take some Clonazepam?

...discussed an episode of vertigo after trying to mask overnight with rain sounds (hyperacusis is a problem, yes). I mentioned steroids and Clonazepam which I have seen mentioned on Tinnitus Talk. Right now I cannot do Tinnitus Retraining Therapy because my ears are so sensitive to noise (I am...

@IntotheBlue03, Diazepam has a longer half-life than Clonazepam. Because of this, it can be great for sleep. For me, it does have an effect on my fatigue, so I end up sleeping too much - it works. Clonazepam seems to be the most widely used for tinnitus, but there do seem to be some horror...

It's either on or off for me. No in between.

Hey Carlos just curious how ur doing on Clonazepam?

Wait 12-24 hours.

Thanks. And have you tried without the THC? Does the Jastreboff protocol work - and can you take Clonazepam long term?

Do you have TTTS, and if yes, has anything you have tried helped out with that?

...What's weird is I've tried Melatonin before and, although it did make me admittedly quite tired, I just couldn't get to sleep without the Clonazepam (was like my brain refusing to shut off despite the fact that I was exhausted). I'm assuming Trazodone works on a different mechanism than GABA...

Me too.

...that this was likely caused by an effect from multiple withdrawals known as kindling. I acquired tinnitus in the summer of 2017 and took Clonazepam for four months, a few times a week. The total amount of Clonazepam that I took, over the course of four months in 2017, was less than many...

If any doctor had mentioned it was the Clonazepam, I would have been well out of this hellhole by now! But thanks! How long have you been on the Clonazepam for? This stuff makes you depressed as hell.

My taken-as-needed cocktail: 1 Deanxit or 5 mg Prochlorperazine 300 mg Gabapentin 0.75 mg Clonazepam 8 mg Betahistine My daily cocktail: 22.5 mg Mirtazapine 300-600 mg Gabapentin 600 mg Alpha-Lipoic Acid Dr. Dirk De Ridder's daily cocktail: 0.5 mg-1 mg Clonazepam 1 Deanxit 2 mg Aripiprazole...

Yes, I've followed your difficulties, buddy. You're just about off the Clonazepam now? Yes, Clonazepam and Alprazolam seem the main stay of treatment. A shame, but at least a couple of choices nonetheless. I have noticed Cyclobenzaprine and Flupentixol do benefit some people a lot?

@Bart, any difference between Xanax and Clonazepam or are they basically the same thing?

You didn't find doses that high helped temporarily?

@Frayact, Brian started to take Clonazepam, just 4 weeks, very low dosage. He stopped it cold turkey and shortly after he started to experience nasty withdrawal symptoms (hallucinations, as far as I remember). Then he reinstated Clonazepam for 6 weeks and tapered. I recall him saying that while...

Yes, I've thought this for a while. Possibly low doses of: Nortriptyline Flupentixol Gabapentin Clonazepam Cyclobenzaprine All have shown success in some patients, so it is possibly a better way than a high dose, single medicine solution. At least that way it may break up the signal better as...

@Jammer, I would be interested in hearing your Clonazepam story, if it was prescribed for tinnitus and hyperacusis, effectiveness and how long you were on it and how you tapered off.

A lot of people take Clonazepam for years with no issues. If you come off gradually, then there really isn’t an issue. It’s when you stop cold turkey that it’s a problem and even then, if you’re only taking like 1 mg, nothing will happen.

Yep, Clonazepam basically and I take some others. They help sometimes but sometimes not. After the last setback it does not seem to help at all. It's frustrating that there is no way to alleviate the pain.

Yes, sounds very much like what I had. Luckily you stopped the Clonazepam shortly after taking it. I unfortunately found the most incompetent doctor in my entire state and have been dealing with that head noise for about 18 months now. In addition, I went through a complete fucking nightmare...

...the only benefit I found for Gabapentin is that it gave me better night sleep. Literally, the only drug I’ve tried that does anything is Clonazepam, and obviously, that comes with its own lovely list of caveats and side effects. Sorry to hear you are suffering so much @beefling. It’s been...

...consistent results within two weeks of regular use. On some days, the improvement was so significant that I was shocked. I am still using Clonazepam twice a week, Gabapentin before bed, and a low-dose extended-release Melatonin. I’ve switched from the Lamberts brand Alpha-Lipoic Acid to...

I'm sorry to know Clonazepam hasn't worked for you. My experience with it has been a complete opposite to yours. I have found it immensely helpful over 12 years, and will be forever thankful to my ENT for prescribing it. All the best, Michael

So here's a very limited anecdote with no statistical significance. Monday night I took 0.5 mg Clonazepam. Tuesday my tinnitus tone was significantly lower in volume. So low I thought maybe it was resolving itself. Tuesday night I did not take any Clonazepam. Today my tinnitus is back to its...

Clonazepam made my tinnitus way worse. it has improved slightly after being off the drug for twelve months but I am nowhere near healed. Please stay away from this drug, it is only recommended for short term use.

Once a week, although when I don't use it, I take 2 mg Diazepam as needed (most days in between), usually in the afternoon and usually just once.

...with diet, I knew something else was going on here. Well he sent me his book he wrote, and on several different pages he mentions he took Clonazepam multiple times in the past. Well long story short, this guy began taking up to 3 mg of Klonopin a day when he got tinnitus in his left ear. He...

Deanxit (with Flupentixol) does not lower your tinnitus per say, it will make you care less (imho).

Keep in mind that Clonazepam (and Deanxit) is the standard combo given by Brai3n institute in Belgium for tinnitus. Based on this research: Administration of the combination clonazepam-Deanxit as treatment for tinnitus

Hello! Has anyone here found a bad interaction between Clonazepam and antioxidants, natural anti-inflammatory stuff when taken at the same time?

Time to try a new psych, you'll find one. One of the proposals I have in my back pocket is to say, just give me 5mg per month. No risk to their license and no risk for abuse.

Even the manufacturers and the package inserts say you shouldn't be on benzos for more than 10-14 days. Your doctor is a very good one; they know their stuff unlike most others. Even though your situation is dire because of tinnitus, benzo addiction could make your tinnitus seem very mild...

You could try asking for a very limited Rx - like 4x 0.5 mg doses per month.

Did Clonazepam help your hyperacusis and tinnitus while on it?

I took Clonazepam for 5 days. Without tapering.

@2noist, have you ever tried this protocol?

Can you tolerate people talking? What kind of things set you off? My tinnitus is also very loud. Lots of tones, a cacophony of noise.

So I took Clonazepam by itself for over a year when I first got tinnitus as it helped reduce my tinnitus volume and helped me sleep. Tapered with no problems really. Recently had a hyperacusis setback and to try to get my ears to calm down I took 1 mg Clonazepam. I’ve been taking Melatonin for...

Gabapentin doesn’t do anything for me either. Haven’t tried cyclobenzaprine. As to the rest of them, you know they probably chill out my reaction to the noise a bit, but not in a way that makes any meaningful difference above the relief coming from the empowerment of doing something in the face...

...is in the same category as Oxazepam (short-acting benzo), so they work quickly and stay in the system for a shorter period than Valium or Clonazepam. The downside is that you have to be more careful with them because of the shorter half-life. I cannot tell you how it compares to Clonazepam...

@Jonno02, I'm not jumping down anyone's throat. I'm as anxious as most. Dr. Shore's device won't work for everyone, just like Clonazepam or Gabapentin or hearing aids don't. It will be a viable treatment for a reasonable chunk of people though. How can we guarantee it? Of course we cannot do so.
