    I've only used Voltaren in my arms and shoulder, no change in tinnitus. But I also don't experience spikes from ototoxic drugs like Ibuprofen.

    Hi, I got severe foot pain last week so I took 200 mg of Ibuprofen once a day for 3 days and the first 2 days my T was okay then on the 3rd which was 2 days ago my T just turned very high, I know it's the Ibuprofen. Anyone here had T spike due to Ibuprofen? Did it go down for some of you? How...

    Connection Between Worsened Tinnitus and Phentermine (Adipex-P)?

    You think it's possible that the combination of both medications led to a perceived increase in tinnitus volume? I've not had issues with one or the other in the past.

    Should Tinnitus Sufferers Worry About Paracetamol/Ibuprofen/Codeine?

    I was taking Ibuprofen for headaches several times a week when I was a caffeine addict. I weaned my way off of caffeine so my headaches would go away (they did) and so I could stop taking Ibuprofen for those headaches. After months of being caffeine free and mostly Ibuprofen free, I saw no...

    Tinnitus Getting Louder While Stuck on Ibuprofen/Aspirin/Paracetamol

    Hi Ben: See if you can go without the Aspirin. Paracetamol is less of a concern for short term use of 3 weeks. If really needed, take Ibuprofen. Since you are having surgery in mid October, ask your doctor if you can take Melatonin 10 mg for sleep. Your doctor may not want you using Melatonin...

    Constant Tinnitus After I Exercised

    Yeah it is, and I agree to not take it. However I do believe it can be helpful if you only take it for a day or so to relieve pain. I just don't want OP to do what I (mistakenly) did by taking high doses for 10 days.

    The 'Love Hormone' (Oxytocin) May Quiet Tinnitus

    Actually, Pitocin is just the brand name of synthetic Oxytocin. Kinda like how Advil is the brand name of ibuprofen or Tylenol is the brand name of acetaminophen. I’m a pharmacist and know this.

    What Do You Take for Pain Relief? Ibuprofen and Aspirin Are Big No-Nos for Tinnitus Sufferers!

    Probably Paracetamol? I personally took Ibuprofen several times with no adverse effects (but for no more than 2 days in a row). Since your tinnitus had already an oscillatory nature, I would be careful in blaming the Advil for the current spike you are experiencing.

    Should Tinnitus Sufferers Worry About Paracetamol/Ibuprofen/Codeine?

    Hi I have experience with codeine, paracetamol, and ibuprofen after T onset. None of them caused even a temporary spike. I think ibuprofen is potentially ototoxic, but for real risk of ototoxicity you need to be taking fairly high dosage regularly for at least a couple of weeks.

    Surgery, medications and tinnitus

    Ibuprofen can occasionally aggravate tinnitus, but it is usually just fine. If your tinnitus seems to be getting louder on the ibuprofen, just ask your doctor to switch you to another drug. The effects are temporary. I take it myself and have never had a problem. Dr. Stephen Nagler
