Took 0.5 Clonazepam half an hour ago. So far no reduction in anxiety and tinnitus loudness, but oh boy my eyes are heavy as hell. Will wait

I have been taking just a very small dose of 0.5 mg Clonazepam or Xanax before sleep for just over a week now, my doctor said at this low dosages I can take it up to one month without the need to taper down afterwards. Is it safe to stop taking it after 1.5 week 'cold turkey'?

If I find a doctor who will prescribe me and won't ever taper me off against my will, then at what point will I run to problems? Will it always work if I just up the dose? What to expect other than some amnesia?

Because my tinnitus is so bad, I already switched back to Gabapentin. I will probably add Clonazepam (0.25 mg) in the evening, too, every other day.

Michael Leigh put a post about clonazepam helping him and it helps habituate faster.

@chris a, thanks for your story. Have you been on this cocktail daily for 3 years? I have suspicion only the Clonazepam is beneficial. Have you tried the Clonazepam on its own?

...but a severe tinnitus spike can definitely make me anxious. I've experienced so many spikes that now I mostly just: Suppress it with Clonazepam. Ride it out. Hope for the best, since there's not much else to do. I like the idea of using a "mini" dose of Zolpidem. For me, 3.25 mg is already...

...that. The lower the dose, the better. What's the point in trying to improve my mood if I can't sleep? I'm also considering 0.5 mg of Clonazepam next time I have some, but my anxiety and roaring tinnitus are both extreme at the moment, so I hope it's enough to take the edge off every now and...

I was also impressed with Dr. De Ridder and appreciated his insights on Clonazepam. I had thought that it was best to use low doses as needed, but from what I gathered (and I could be mistaken), it seems that he recommends using a low dose regularly. He mentioned that it’s the wearing off of the...

How are you getting on with the Gabapentin/Clonazepam thing? I'm in discussion with my doctor's surgery to trial Carbamazepine or something similar.

likely need a root canal soon and my nox is pretty bad rn. torn between taking nitrous oxide or 1 mg of clonazepam beforehand. any input?

Have you tried taking Remeron (Mirtazapine) and Klonopin (Clonazepam)? If not, I highly recommend taking Remeron at night to aid sleep. It will take a week or so for your body to adjust and stick with it.

...spot. The only difference is my (severe) tinnitus was noise induced and you are further along with the taper. I've been wanting to quit Clonazepam since summer last year, but the tinnitus got worse while trying to and I got really scared so I put it on hold for many months after my initial...

You will regret it...

I was on Klonopin for 1 month at 1 mg a day, then 2 weeks at 2 mg before starting a taper of .25 mg a week. I was on it only 6 weeks total before starting to taper. Tapering went OK until I got to .25 mg and my ears started to ring with a louder electrical tone. Got to .125 mg and ears went...

1 mg is pretty potent for Clonazepam. That's 4 times as potent as my 0.5 mg dose of Lorazepam, plus it has a much longer half-life, resulting in a higher concentration of the benzo in your system longer. I avoid taking Lorazepam much because it can build tolerance and dependency quickly, plus...

My tinnitus is unilateral. My biggest issue initially was how my tinnitus sound would react to external stimuli. After about three months and about a month of the nutriceutical protocol, the reactivity issue seems to be getting better. It is not resolved by any means, but it is more manageable...

Just debating whether to get on Clonazepam full time now as the off days are giving me quite severe depressive symptoms when the reactive tinnitus catapults back.

...and unfortunately, I only have the worst news to share. I think I really need some support right now. Last year, I failed to taper off Clonazepam (0.5 mg). It was a very slow taper, reducing by 5% per month. I managed to get down to 0.3 mg, but that is when everything spiraled out of...

I've seen others report a delayed effect between taking Clonazepam and a reduction in tinnitus, so I'm not surprised you had better results by taking it the night before. 0.25 mg every 6 days doesn't sound like it would be a problem. 0.5 mg doses are not uncommon and are sometimes taken more...

Have you given Clonazepam a try? It works for me. Diazepam does nothing.

Yes, that's how I've taken Clonazepam. I've taken in the past a low dose (0.25 mg) for a week, then none for 7-10 days, then for 2 days in a row, then 5 days later for 1 day. I also vary the dose (0.5 mg - 0.75 mg - 1 mg) and basically take it to my needs. I have no set pattern. On days I don't...

1-2 mg of Mirtazapine and 0.25 mg of Clonazepam at night is the perfect cocktail for me.

...after that (except for two small cuts). The tinnitus kept getting worse and I thought that I am lucky that I still have the 0.4 mg Clonazepam, because imagine how the anxiety would kill me if I didn't. I kept taking the pills and it's been downhill with my tinnitus really fast for the last...

I recently tried Clonazepam to treat my tinnitus, anxiety, and improve my sleep. I found that it does nothing for my severe spikes (7–8 out of 10), but for moderate ringing, it does reduce the volume noticeably. However, it takes hours to take effect, and the relief is only temporary. Once the...

...tinnitus, while taking Prednisolone. This made me wonder what specific inflammation it was targeting. I experienced similar effects with Clonazepam and Zopiclone. However, I avoid Zopiclone because I disliked how it made me feel. Although it was effective in helping me fall asleep, it didn’t...

Yes, still on 1.5 mg Clonazepam/day.

You have to be disciplined with those benzos. I have 0.5 mg Ativan (Lorazepam), which is equal to 0.25 mg Klonopin (Clonazepam) but with a much shorter half life. I've managed to hold myself off to one dose every third day on average, but that's for anxiety, as I don't think it helps tinnitus...

How long have you been taking Clonazepam? What dosage are you on? My doctor mentioned that you might build a tolerance after about six weeks. Did that help reduce your tinnitus? My doctor won’t prescribe it because he says you can build a tolerance to it. However, he’s fine with prescribing...

Clonazepam has been useful to me since April 22. It can reduce both my hyperacusis and tinnitus in 12-24 hours. Some take it regularly, I have not. I take 0.5-1 mg for 1-2 days about once a week. The effect can be enhanced when taken with Gabapentin. Like many medications, some people...

...bad the day will be, so I decide between 0.025, 0.5, or 0.75 mg in one go. If I take it the night before, I don't get as good of an effect. FYI: if you're really struggling, 0.5 mg just before bed, followed by the same dose upon waking, works well. Clonazepam also bioaccumulates, as I...

Doing better due to Clonazepam, it softens my tinnitus and reduces my anxiety greatly!

...on long term/daily use. I am here to tell you with absolute certainty that in my case, any time I take even a single 0.5 mg dose of clonazepam, my T will be worse a few days later, and this will continue for a few days before going back to baseline. I have had T for close to 5 years now and...

Ever tried Gabapentin?

300 mg Gabapentin and 0.5 mg Clonazepam for 3 months.

I'm assuming they tried each alone with the statement, "The weird part is the Clonazepam and Olanzapine have to be taken at the same time. If I remove one, the tinnitus comes back." And I believe this because benzos don't seem to affect my tinnitus at all. Wish I had had my Gabapentin and...

You're on Clonazepam buddy. Forget that list.

...I took Diazepam this weekend at 5 mg (2 ml) to help get through a medical test, which I understand is meant to increase GABA the same as Clonazepam, but this seemed to send my tinnitus through the roof, so I guess the combination of Clonazepam and Gabapentin may be ineffective for me. Great...

...morning with a pain management physician to see how that goes for hyperacusis. So far, there is not much to report, but I took 0.25 mg of Clonazepam for the procedure and have had little to no hyperacusis this morning coming off my Gabapentin dosage last night + this morning's Clonazepam...

It's been a little while but pretty sure I dropped the Clonazepam early on and only took Deanxit, but I'm not certain anymore.

I’m going through a rough patch at the moment, mate. Clonazepam has lost some of its effectiveness, and I’m hesitant to increase the dosage. I have a question you might be able to help with. The original study mentioned that after a certain number of weeks, the TFI (Tinnitus Functional Index)...

What dose Gabapentin are you taking? Do you have hyperacusis?

Yes but it's variable with each patient. Clonazepam Gabapentin Cyclobenzaprine Retigabine Nortriptyline Amitriptyline Acamprosate Oxazepam

I had an appointment with Dr. De Ridder last summer. He prescribed: Clonazepam Aripiprazol Deanxit But back then my condition was not as bad as it is now.

...My GP prescribed, reluctantly, 300 mg/d in 100 mg doses. Neither ENT at Chesterfield, Derby or Nottingham would prescribe Gabapentin or Clonazepam, so it's interesting that an ENT in the same country at a well known centre is willing to. What dosage of Gabapentin has he prescribed for you...

I agree. Mirtazapine is unreal. 7.5 mg knocked me out when I went through my spike.

...2013, and it was really, really bad—I was sure I was going to end it all. But now, 12 years later, nothing that drastic has happened. Plus, I’m 68, and my wife has a 100% survivor benefit on my pension. Sure, my family would prefer me to be alive, so I think I’m just going to stick with...

Why do you think the Clonazepam and Olanzapine are responsible for bringing the noise down?

...a benzodiazepine. It's not without its own tolerance and possible side effects, though. Hopefully you can continue to get a benefit on that 0.25 mg Clonazepam dose while taking it every day. That's equal potency to my Lorazepam 0.50 mg dose, but I don't take it daily in trying to avoid...

No worries, I've read all your posts regarding your experiences :-) It was Clonazepam.

Doing WAY better thanks to Clonazepam, it softens my tinnitus/reduces my anxiety. I recommend it to those that need some relief sometimes.
