I don't personally like anti-anxiety medication. Usually therapy works just as fine. Also, those pills make your head even more messed up. I tried some of those "wonder pills" years ago. I almost wanted to kill myself during the medication. It was a living nightmare. So I threw them into trash...

I’m looking for others who lost access to the Neosensory Duo! I was told about the Neosensory Duo by my audiologist in December 2024 and purchased it outright for $850. I’m probably one of the few people for whom it actually worked. It wasn’t a cure for tinnitus, but it did give me about 10 to...

...not expose myself to loud noises, so I have no idea what might have caused this. The thought of living with this forever fills me with despair. I have even started taking anti anxiety medication because I have been feeling so depressed. I am sorry for the long rant. I just really needed to...

@LeQuack Have you tried medication of any kind? Anti-anxiety or anti-depression meds? Are you getting counseling?

Yes, some medication cause T. It's either this drug, or the very anxiety for which you started this anxiety drug. Anxiety can cause T. If you want to take anti anxiety medication, Clonazepam is much better, known all over the world that it helps with T.

Yeah, exactly. So when are you seeing your doctor next? If you want an anti anxiety drug that is no-otoxic, the one I am on is meant to be good. It's called Mirtazapine or Remeron. If you think you still need an anti anxiety drug, discuss this one with your doctor.

I'm happy to report, @Greg Sacramento, that, as of this week, I'm completely off of all anti-anxiety/antidepressant medication. I only take supplements now.

01.10.2013 Stopped with anti-anxiety pills yesterday. Slightly higher ringing today and yesterday. I hope that have a connection with stopping with anti-anxiety pills. No high pitch sound anymore. Just radio-static and buzzing. Have had some fullness in my right ear today. And some problems...

The first is a beta blocker and the leaflet did say used for anxiety, yes i will go back to my doctor and have a chat with him as my anxiety is sometimes off the chart, thanks Carol.

I have had really bad tinnitus these past few months. I am a teacher and am considering applying for a disability because I can’t sleep well, have anxiety, lack concentration and am now on anti-depression meds. Does anybody know if a disability application would be successful?

I've had bad anxiety and depression for close to two full decades. I'm 46. Never ever took anti depressants. ever. Struggled throughout life because of anxiety depression. I got tinnitus about 4 weeks ago. Have been to the darkest places in my life (and I've been thru divorce with kids, dad...

It is important to listen to doctor's advice when you take anti-anxiety medicine.And look out for the side effects.My best wishes!

You would have to be Superman to be able to deal with this kind of anxiety without any support or anti-anxiety medication. You're in serious fight or flight mode at the moment by the seems of things, and this is precisely the kind of situation that anti-anxiety medication is invented for. If...

I started an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety med yesterday with hopes that it would reduce my anxiety. I took 20mg of Celexa and found myself screwed up. On top of that...I was unable to sleep last night. It was horrible. It brought back nightmares of the prednisone days when I had insomnia. I...

Anti Depressants are worthless for Anxiety IMO..I have sever anxiety and Panic. I've been on Just about everything..Buspar and Valium have worked best for me. Sure Benzodiazepines have a bad rap for being addictive but they work and work better than any other anti depressant out there.

Staci -- update? Did you take any anti-anxiety meds?

So sorry for my late response. Trazodone is an antidepressant - a serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor. While it may have some anti-anxiety properties, most clinicians use it as a sedative. Perhaps you want to consider an SSRI, if you haven’t tried one. I was on Zoloft and it did wonders...

One of the things that bothers me is the exclusion criteria when it comes to a lot of the trials. I have attempted to sign up for a couple but they always list antidepressants or anti anxiety meds are exclusions. This eliminates a lot of people who would be willing to enter trials.

Tumor will always be there. Two surgeries and a round of radiation. I’ve tried high dose 1800 mg of Gabapentin, marijuana, two different anticonvulsants, anti-anxiety, physical therapy, and much more but none of them worked. Currently on no meds. Thank you for asking. How do you cope?

I have been prescribed Valium, not for tinnitus but as a muscle relaxant and to help ease anxiety (if I have any - jury still out on that one). I have been hesitant because I have avoided meds like the plague, especially benzos, but my GP won't prescribe a full muscle relaxant as I'm waiting to...

Hi Karen, Clonazepam doesnt actually come up as ototoxic in the book but its an anti-anxiety med (a benzodiazepene) that is very addictive so Im not taking it right now until I talk to the doctor again. Most anti-depressants also have anti-anxiety properties but are not addictive so the docs...

I have anxiety from tinnitus. It isn't so severe that I need anti anxiety medication but it definitely affects my life greatly

Anti-anxiety drugs are bad because once stopped you get withdrawal which can last weeks or months.

Hi @Shreya: Yes. To view thoughts with links and personnel experiences - place hypertension into search on this page or home page. This would be impossible to quickly summerize, but at your age, disease may not be cause such as cogged arteries, heart disease, abdominal aortic enlargement...

@Markku random question my friend. what are the downsides to taking anti-anxiety or anti-depressant drugs to deal with this? is the only downside the potential for addiction?

There are cafes popping up here and there that have coffee and tea with cbd. I thought of trying some, but I was skeptical about the claims for anti-anxiety effects. The plant itself has anti-anxiety effects, but I assumed that was the result of the thc, not the cbd. If the cbd works without...

No medication or counseling.

How long have you had t? Have you seen progress? I'm 5 weeks in and feel so hopeless. This will be eternal.

Well, no real change. Neck and face tension continue. Ear hisses all the time. No hyperacusis or noxacusis that I can tell. To make it worse, the guy I was with reckons it was 130 to 150 dB... If that's true then my ear really is damaged and it isn't stress/anxiety. I was just starting to...

Yeah some users here have been pushing me to take anti-depressants, anti-anxiety meds. That wont help its just adding fuel to the fire.

I'd advise against anti-anxiety meds as they can lead you down a worse path with addiction, personally I've been taking natural supplements that induce anti-anxiety reaction like griffonia pills, eating passion fruit etc.

It's a minefield, almost all anti anxiety medications have tinnitus as a side effect. Have you considered CBD oil (no THC)?

Of course. I was prescribed Hydroxyzine, named Atarax or Vistaril depending on market. It's really an antihistamine with calming and sedative effects. It's also non-addictive unlike benzos, so it's generally considered to be a safer drug. I'd still advise caution, as most drugs can impact...

I am not a doctor. It seems it varies. Some people take them for a while, then wean off. Some take them for years, if not "forever". Highly individual.

Yeah, this wasn't a good idea. I took another tiny bit last night and woke up with even more anxiety and louder T. Anyone know why taking a tiny bit of anti+anxiety medication would make anxiety worse?

My dr thinks that you can get the same results from relaxing as you can from an anti depressant (I'm rolling my eyes like you wouldn't believe!) GPS around here are pretty anti anxiety meds if you are younger.

Yep - what Karen said. If the anxiety gets to be too much, however, you should consider seeing your doctor about anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medication. Tinitus is very unpleasant, frustrating, and anxiety producing, but it is not harmful in and of itself. On the other hand, out of control...

I also have depression and anxiety; I am on an anti-depressant called Fluoxetine, I have been on it for many years. It helps me to manage my depression and anxiety, while not effecting my tinnitus.

@dochoppy Does Lyrica really work for anxiety? Better than anti depressants?

I think bam said something like take the drugs—- I’m assuming he was referring to use my anti anxiety meds?

Stay away from loud noise, relax and take anti anxiety meds, that's helping reduce the volume for me.

For anxiety you can try breathing/relaxation exercises, as well as CBT, and if you need chemical help you may want to talk to your doc about anti-anxiety meds. You're probably better off if you can manage your anxiety without meds though.

Hey, remember that this is an experience we've all had—and you’ll probably go through it again! I recently went through a tough phase where I was so stressed that I asked my ENT for anti-anxiety medication. Thankfully, the past few days have been much better, and I feel like I’m really healing...

I’m going to give this stuff a go. I’m not expecting anything but I’ve tried every other vitamin, supplement and nootropic. One more won’t hurt. Plus the hope that comes with trying something new, usually helps me a little mentally. If I see any improvement, I’ll report back. I did not get the...

I wish you the best and your in the right place for support. Only thing I can recommend is anti anxiety medication like clonapam. That's if its causing you anxiety or insomnia.

Yeah,it quiets my T down as well.I'm just saying that there's not a real guarantee that anti anxiety medication can't make it worse.

Anti depressants aren't addictive, but yes I take Ativan (lorazepam) for anxiety and it calms me down massively

Interesting story. You mentioned your tinnitus only got bad in the last 2 years despite having it for 6 years? What made it get a lot worse? Have you looked into Tinnitus Retraining Therapy? Have you thought about taking any anti anxiety or anti depressant medications?

Seriously, I almost ended it tonight. I can't take this. I had it before and got over it. This is a different thing, especially with the hearing loss. I can't take this.............and I can't touch anti-depressants/anti-anxiety because of AM-101. Help?

Yeah its still the same cycle. I take anti anxiety medication (clonazapam) every once in a while.

Recreational tripping on DXM (Robitussin cough syrup) about 10 times, and I now take Zyprexa (mood stabilizer; olanzapine) and Vistriol (anti-anxiety). My theory is hyperacusis is caused by cortisol-induced oxidization, which is why mindfulness activities and psychedelics work so well--because...

Sorry to hear about the panic wakings. I did that a lot when my tinnitus first onset. I've since been taking anti-anxiety meds that have helped stabilize me. I also take a sedative to sleep like you do, but the doc prescribed me Trazodone. Works pretty well. I also sleep in blocks. Every now and...
