Yes I still take it. I can compare it to my previous set which was Sulpiride with Paroxetine. Mimicking Deanxit works better for me. Clonazepam did no good for me, I stopped it after 1 month.

...I was hopeful about Flupirtine since a couple of users reported positive results just with one dose, but oh well. I'm considering Clonazepam since my sleep is totally gone. I'll see if it helps with my visual symptoms as well. I will consider other stuff after a benzodiazepine. I hope I...

I am confused, last Monday Dr. De Ridder told me that someone can build dependency, but NOT tolerance to Clonazepam. I am surprised as many people on Tinnitus Talk talk about needing to up the dose for it to stay effective. I have recently been taking 0.5 mg every other day for sleeping, but...

...years and I'm used to it. However, something strange happened in February, the tinnitus kept increasing and wouldn't calm down. I took Clonazepam which usually reduces the tinnitus over 12 hours to a more manageable level or complete silence. I knew something was wrong because the Clonazepam...

Did you visit Dr. Dirk De Ridder? I visited this week and he prescribed Deanxit, Clonazepam and Clonidine. I will try them. Any feedback about these meds?

Yep, screwed here because of being pushed on Clonazepam. Now I'm dead on it and really dead off it.

...despite asking for it. 0.125 mg is a very low dose, so it may be the Gabapentin doing most of the good work. Plus, if you upped to 0.5 mg Clonazepam with Deanxit and it did have less effect on you, I expect Gabapentin is doing most of the work. I don't know if Gabapentin can be taken with...

My ENT consultant advised me of the risks of dependency if Clonazepam is taken regularly. Fortunately this hasn't affected me in 12 years and hopefully this will continue.

Why the Aripiprazole if you don't mind asking? I read that it can help with OCD.

...only as prescribed by the doctor, along with all the other warnings. Apparently, the FDA approves Lorazepam for up to 4 months, but that dependency can happen in days or weeks. Clonazepam is apparently approved for only nine weeks. Of course, it's more potent per mg and has a much longer...

Yes, I get through about 45 mg diazepam a month and 5 mg of Clonazepam.

Clonazepam does nothing for my tinnitus, and neither does Lorazepam. Am I the only person in the world who doesn’t get relief from tinnitus with benzos?

Brian P seemed to have quite a few demons haunting him that pre-existed tinnitus. The Clonazepam adverse reaction could be causal but it must be considered within a network of his other issues.

Two years of pain hyperacusis (noxacusis)?! Cured with noise generators. Funny, people with noxacusis say you can't cure it with sound therapy. Makes people worse, in fact.

...to do so; it is so variable and unpredictable. I’ve tried various medications, including Mirtazapine, Carbamazepine, Gabapentin, and Clonazepam. All but Clonazepam have done nothing or temporarily made it worse. I’ve tried the usual range of supplements too, to no good positive effect. I...

Is Clonazepam different from Lorazepam? Lorezapam does nothing for my tinnitus.

I took Clonazepam daily for about 3 years around 2000-2002. I didn't get tinnitus until Feb. 4, 2018 (a day that will live in infamy for me). Sorry, but I since I have virtually no knowledge about BDNF medicines, I can't give an informed opinion. As far as other supplements, I don't see why...

They are VERY different. Xanax (Alprazolam) has a half-time of approx 11 hours (range is between 6 to 27 hours half time, sometimes more in obese patients). Klonopin (Clonazepam) has a half-time of 20-50 hours!

Thank you, @Nick47! I was reading about NMDA receptor antagonists and how they could potentially help with tinnitus, and I know Ketamine falls under that umbrella. It’s unfortunate that Bupropion can aggravate tinnitus. Our community cannot win on anything.

Hey. You are going to put yourself into interdose withdrawal taking it like that. You cannot take these pills like Aspirin. Do research on it if you haven't heard about it before. Most my tinnitus related problems came on because of something similar, but with antidepressants instead...

:huganimation: @BrysonKingMe, it will improve, it must! You will be glad you didn't take your life but endured the suffering. You stopped taking the Clonazepam on Monday? I hope the reactivity lessens in a couple of weeks.

I have exactly the same experience—great days and a normal life, but at the end of the day, when I lie in bed, the tinnitus becomes so frustratingly annoying. I never got tested for COVID-19 when I had a throat infection, which was followed by an ear infection with a lot of fluid in the inner...

That's great news man and you've tapered the Clonazepam from 1.5 mg to 0.5 mg which is a big cut. It seems there are effective treatments already, it's just a case of having a willing and capable MD to go through the evidence and carefully assess each patient!

My psychiatrist said that would be our next move, switching from Ativan to Clonazepam if I find no relief from my current set up. However, I will say yesterday was my busiest auditory day in over 2 weeks. I drove in a car 4 times (short distances), was around my niece and nephew for a short...

Thanks very much for your honesty. If I understand correctly, you were on daily Clonazepam for 4 years? It's strange as the ENT in Harley Street London pumps that stuff out for fun for severe tinnitus. I think Diazepam is the lesser of two evils?

It could be a bit of a journey tapering off daily Clonazepam, but a worthy endeavor most likely. There are good resources out there for tapering schedules, and from 0.5 mg you shouldn't have TOO far to go. Experiences seem to differ significantly. From no problem to quite bad. I can relate...

...If you’re in the USA, you can look these up to check their legality and availability. Three weeks ago, I had a severe spike and took Clonazepam to help suppress it. I also started using isolate dissolved in propylene glycol. To use it, dilute your isolate to 75 mg/0.5 ml of propylene...

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...

Hello Nick, I had positive experience with Clonazepam 0.125 mg + Gabapentin 300 mg per day. I tried this for a short period, like 5 days, and it works. I was tempted to try the Deanxit + Clonazepam combo prescribed to me so I stopped the Gabapentin and switched to Deanxit. I upped my Clonazepam...

...presenting what is written above. This could be why some people get tinnitus or have their tinnitus negatively affected by benzos such as Clonazepam. There is a drug called CLP290, which is a KCC2 enhancer. They can actually run a test using CLP290 on animals to see if the behavioral...

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

How did you get the doctors to even listen to you or do anything but brush off the tinnitus as a symptom of anxiety? Who came up with the idea to try those 3 drugs at once, you - from researching on your own and having to ask the doctor - or these doctors who actually went to medical school...

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...

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?

...too much or not enough for your needs as I am not a doctor. As far as I know, Diazepam belongs to the family of benzodiazepines. I take Clonazepam to help manage my tinnitus when it is severe. It is a benzodiazepine, and I have found it very helpful. When pulsatile or regular tinnitus is...

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...

...suffered long enough and tried every supplement under the sun to know the difference. Only two things have ever improved my tinnitus: Clonazepam (which was almost a miracle for me) and now, Lidocaine patches. I believe the drop in hearing is proof that it was affecting certain channels...

Hi @Nocca, I should start by saying that I am very anti-benzo, as I’ve been living with nearly two years of severe tinnitus caused by Clonazepam. Some days, my tinnitus is so loud that I can hear it even while standing next to a busy road. Because of this experience, my views are definitely...

@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...

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

Hey Carlos just curious how ur doing on Clonazepam?

...for 11 years and it helped a lot. It stopped working a year ago. My tinnitus has remained variable and manageable. When required, I take Clonazepam to calm it down for 1 on 2 days. My tinnitus began to increase in February 2024. Since I have had tinnitus a long time, I know it extremely...

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.

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.

...sleep rather than helping. It wasn't a good experience. I'll give it a little longer. Ativan (Lorazepam) is the benzo he prescribes, not Clonazepam. He specifically told me he doesn't prescribe Xanax. I'm skipping it today for the third day straight, although my tinnitus is squealing, and my...

Wait 12-24 hours.

...injections to the outer ear with the drugs Lidocaine -- which by the way has been shown to give temporary tinnitus relief to some -- and Clonazepam (I've no background in pharmacology). Anyway, nuff said. Here's the link (his username is @Chinmoku)...

...stabbing hyperacusis pain, although I must mention that I was also and still am using 20 mg of Memantine per day, and occasionally 0.5 mg Clonazepam. I have also been following part of Ziem's neural protocol for 2 months now. The effect lasted for a couple of days before fading out, but was...

...it less reactive in around 5-6 hours; I won’t be wearing them overnight anymore. In answer to how quickly it wears off, similar to the Clonazepam effect, sadly, as soon as I stop, I get that horrible rebound the next day. What’s one to do? Wear patches for the next 5-10 years. It doesn’t...

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

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.

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.

I think that's all spot on. It's a similar cocktail to mine. I've ordered some Lidocaine patches from iHerb. Five patches @ 4 %. The same brand as you. I'm also already on Gabapentin and ALA anyway. After reading up a bit, I would consider wearing it for 12 hours. Let the area rest, then...

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