...will not work, it's just an unfortunate side effect that they 'stir things up a bit' before having the right effect. Zoloft has quite an anti anxiety effect so within 6 weeks the tinnitus was absolutely no problem whatsoever, yet the sound had not decreased at all but I just couldn't have...

...Teacher) feeling light headed, tired and out of sorts but I think I ended the day more positive than when I started. I have been putting off going to bed but my husband has some anti anxiety tablets (I think they are out of date!) so I might take half of one of those. I will let you know how...

I didn't take muscle relaxants last night but I did sleep with a store mouthguard and anti-anxiety meds. There was no real pain in my ear when I woke up. I think there is the feeling of light pressure in it. I think it comes when I focus on it with lots of worry too.

Louise, That is scary! Are you going to continue taking the clonazepam? I'm not taking any anti-depressant drugs myself. I tried xanax and valium, and didn't like either one. I've gotten over the worst of my anxiety now (2 1/2 years after my severe tinnitus started!). I've just started...

Hey @Uklawyer, So I wish I could say I was doing better but unfortunately I am not. I’m slightly more calm but still very much stuck in fight or flight mode even on the Grandaxin and I hate the thought of going back to the Clonazepam. My tinnitus is lower at least I’m assuming from the...

I was such a mess when the ringing started. I actually went off my Welbutrin, anti depressant. I am sensitive to these types of drugs to begin with, that I was not willing to try another or continue on the only one I could take. I had decided for myself that the anxiety about it was to my...

Then I wonder if that's the way BDNF works to quiet tinnitus when injected like OTO-413.

So far I don’t think there’s much reduction from the P but it’s only been a day. The anti-anxiety meds are helping, basically I can hear the T but don’t care. Hardly a sustainable situation but ok for the time being. It’s becoming very obvious it’s right ear only also. Hope you’re good J.

@Forever hopeful, thank you so much for your thoughts. I experience it similarly, mainly hearing the pulsing in bed when I wake up or after my pulse increases. I just had my wife compare my pulse to my pulsing, and... it was the same. So I'm skeptical that this is not pulsatile tinnitus...

Do you take medication for your tinnitus? SSRI and anti anxiety meds give you thoughts of suicide. Read the disclaimer.

7.5 mg of Mirtazapine. Nothing else yet, other than some white noise and a regular routine. I am a little leery to start another SSRI or SNRI. I needed to sleep though. Sleep plays a big part in depression and to mentally deal with things like tinnitus. However, tinnitus seems to deny you sleep...

Hello! This is my first post on Tinnitus Talk, so I apologize for the length of this post. I have a lot of questions/concerns. I've looked here before, but I do not see very many posts about tinnitus similar to mine. For background, I am 20 years old. I believe I've had some form of mild...

The short answer is no. You probably have some sort of mild physical abnormality that is causing it. If it isn't dangerous, don't worry about it. Before you get to that point though, I would get a second opinion. Have someone else look at your images and the angiogram. If they say the same, then...

I've taken Hydroxyzine, it's an antihistamine with anticholinergic effects, i.e. it slows down the nervous system and can be effective for anxiety and especially sleep. Of course, it isn't as powerful or even comparable to a benzodiazepine, but it helped me get my act together when I first got...

@Larry OT @dan In the beginning of T onset, I got Valium infusions and my T was reduced a lot. I think it is the Valium that calms the brain nerves. I also took Obipramol for some days (a long-term anti-anxiety med) and my T was reduced. I also asked myself if it was lower anxiety or the med. I...

...quickly, particularly (at least for me) when you are worrying about personal health issues. This is a good time for a short-term prescription for a quick acting anti anxiety drug. When the infection resolves, discontinue the anxiety med ( under doctor's instructions). Hope you feel better soon.

Some people will build a tolerance to various aspects of the drug, but that's not the same thing as addiction (see, for example, this concise paper). I'm glad Dr. De Ridder made that point. The "benzos are poison" refrain you constantly hear is a major bugbear of mine in relation to tinnitus...

Hey there @AnonymousHamster, glad to hear it's not as loud as your first couple of weeks. That does sound positive. And getting to play with your toddler, that's great. It's often the case that the first couple of months are the most difficult, so you're already off to a good start. Sure, feel...

when i first had it and couldn't find out why i asked the doc for anti anxiety pills just to calm my nerves. that clonozepam also worked to minimize the sound and even stopped mine for a bit but handle with care - there's lots of posts on here about other side effects. talk your doctor.

Yes, they test for benzos, I remember seeing marijuana,meth, and cocaine. I don't remember what the other 3 were.

Some degree of reactive tinnitus is not unusual. For example, my tinnitus volume increases when the fan in my computer goes into high gear. Anxiety is definitely playing a large role. Anxiety causes muscles to tense, whether you're aware of the sensation or not, especially tiny muscles. I...

@aura, you said it right about tinnitus being a total monster. I'm very sorry to read that you have so much trouble lately. Have you experienced a lot of stress the last few days? It could indeed be the case that stress compounds tinnitus and vice versa. It's hard to get out of that loop...

Hello Tom71! I’ve had tinnitus for 7 weeks now and I know how difficult this is! Things I do to help stay calm is watching my favorite TV show/movie with a cup of either hot chocolate or hot tea, cuddle with my favorite blanket with my dogs. If my anxiety gets really bad I take a low dose of...

My experience 1 month 1/2 into having tinnitus. And need some advice pls on how accepting it has definitely changed in the past 3 weeks. First 3 weeks were definitely hell on earth. Until your brain starts to somewhat accept the ringing there is really no avoiding that phase. My tinnitus...

Your profile picture and the symptoms remind me of me and my hyperacusis somehow. If you're around loud amps and stuff and getting what resembles hyperacusis symptoms, I would stay on the cautious side. I would consider taking this extremely seriously but at the same time try to to develop an...

Considering your lack of sleep is probably due to the anxiety about hyperacusis, or whatever you have, a low dose anti-depressant for anxiety might help. Also maybe something specific for sleep that isn't a straight up sleeping pill like trazodone or mirtazapine might help you sleep. Google...

Yes, I have tried and currently take buspar. It had no affect on my tinnitus whatsoever. I'm not convinced it's that great of an anti-anxiety drug though, as it did not seem to touch my panic attacks. It is a non-benzodiazepine drug though, which makes it desirable in that you will not become...

Gabapentin works well for some for pain. Lyrica is another name for it. Personally, I'm taking every anti-inflammitory supplement I can for pain. Benzos are not a long-term solution. Some antidepressants help pain a lot but sometimes they have strong side effects and are not always a...

Yes get some anti depresants!!!! I dont know where you live but i take lexapro in the united states and its for anixety and depression and for an anti depressant i can say it does an awsome job of decreasing stress and anxiety.. Along with the clonzepan i take every once in a while :)

Links between neuroplasticity and benzodiazepine use, if not yet completely understood, is being discussed in the neuroscientific community. No fact/evidence doesn't necessarily mean nothing's happening; neurosciences are very recent and there are tons of things we are learning each year in...

I was asked to do a study on a medication like this (I don't think this was it). The idea of being off ALL antidepressants/anxiety meds plus edibles on the off chance that I don't get the placebo is too much for me. Then the fact that, IF you get the real thing AND it works, they take it away...

@DSL, given you are in panic mode after this trauma, you will feel miserable and freak out. That will in turn make your brain perceive the tinnitus even worse and more intrusive. Remember that Prednisolone is a strong anti-inflammatory steroid. Did you taper properly? It can temporary worsen...

Very hard this though let’s be honest. If I could travel back in time I would have filled myself with anti anxiety drugs. I mean bucket loads of the stuff and prayed my brain just unhitched the sound before it buried itself in deep.

Rivotril is a better drug than xanax all around. It's certainly not innocent but if you plan to continue taking some some of anti-anxiety med, rivotril is the better choice. But as you might have read, taking such drugs for a long time (usually more than 3-4 weeks) is not a good idea.

Hi All, I live in England and as far as I'm aware Trobalt is not offered. It just seems like antibiotics and anti depressants and anxiety meds .maskers or hearing aids,CBT and TRT.... not sure if we are behind the times from other countries ..... great to hear what you think ........lots of...

I'll probably call and see what they can do..can other anti biotics curs ear infections?

You may want to try and go see your doc' ask for anti-anxiety meds for a short period of time. I'm pretty much against drugs in general, but you have to admit it does help at times. The more stressed out you get, the more your body will react negatively to everything that's happening to you.

Think about getting anti anxiety medication. Take something which is not known to increase Tinnitus. I'm on Paxil which helped me tremendously two times but takes up to 6 weeks until the effects are there. Before that I suggest taking a Benzo up to twice a week, not more, for the worst anxiety...

I have a sound machine that helps somewhat and I've been taking an anti-anxiety drug for a couple of months until I get used to the T. I've had T for years, learned to tolerate it, but suddenly last December I woke up and it was much, much worse. I'm finally getting used to it again

I'm happy and my life is great. Still have tinnitus and it still bothers me every few days. I've tapered off my anti anxiety drugs and I get outside and drive again. We just got back from a month long tour of Asia and are planning kids! I wasn't the same two years ago. Healing just takes time!

...to keep it in check. I did go through a traumatic event just before I developed T. Also, my T brought all my anxiety out in the open and I could see it clearly that how anxious I am as a person. I am taking anti anxiety right now and it helps. I am hoping I do not have to take this long term...

...that takes a while. Hearing has improved and so has tinnitus. It was unbearable at the beginning, so loud I couldnt mask it and now its a lot quieter. After reading the forums here and getting tips on diet, supplements and seeing a psychiatrist and taking anti anxiety meds everything has...

Running water sound helped me a lot and helped through my habituation the first time. Time is the key, it reduces the high pitch sound dramatically, I experienced that! Teas to relax your anxiety, a lot of antioxidants and flavonoids (I take turmeric). I also believe inflammation causes the...

Mirtazapine is commonly described in Germany for T. It is good for sleep and helps against depression. It does not do much for anxiety. For anxiety, the only thing that helps me: - Distraction (video games, hobbies, talking) - Exercising (difficult for me since T gets louder and depression keeps...

Dykey - Another thing I failed to mention: Drugs. You are probably exhausted from lack of sleep. That was my problem when I firt got "T". I was deperate. My blood pressure was really high. I was freaking out. I went to a psychiatrist who prescribed an anti-depressant, Remeron. When I sleep I'm...

I would suggest talking with your doctor to discontinue the drug until the spike subsides. I am pretty sure this is a temporary spike due to medication and it will reduce back to what it was previously over time. Talk with your doctor about other anti-anxiety and depression medication to try...

...Greg, what experts have advised that muscular tinnitus is related to spinal positioning? Steve, have your symptoms resolved? I am still getting some fluttering but better than tympani drums and chainsaws and gongs, for nearly two months. Muscle relaxants and anti anxiety meds have helped for me.

Could be, have had many doctors tell me it's anxiety. They have put me on on, oh, about 12 different anti anxiety medications, they do nothing at all. They sent me to therapy. Therapist and psychologist are very confused. A lot of things don't make sense (Without going into a long explanation)...

I've been on .5mg of Clonazepam and I can say it quites down my T. The thing is not letting your body get use to a certain dose.

It's going to get better! You have to be patient. You JUST did the injections. You can get hearing back, and it can go away! Why don't you try the chat? Talk to other members here, it did me so much good just to have a chat with some of the members.

Thank you for your kind replies. Everyone believes my T is anxiety and stress related. I struggled with anxiety through my pregnancy.. terrified something bad would happen. The last 6 weeks were awful and looking back I was depressed. I had terrible digestive issues and could barely eat and...

...left side sets in and the inside of my ear gets hotter...and T louder. My left jaw feels swollen. Also I have neck and shoulder pain...Anti anxiety seems to help me reduce the edge. Any hope for me ? Or am I doomed to be hooked to anti anxiety all my life ? anybody else has the same...

My ENT told me to live with it ,gave me a prescription for anti anxiety and made me promise I would not take them all at once and kill myself " A lot of people do that !" ... I was not even aware of that ever happening and the thought had not crossed my mind. Weird dude... hehe :P

But what is glucosamine? That does not work for anxiety does it? I don't see @Lane suggesting it for anxiety. I started omega 3 supplements a couple weeks ago, so I get enough of that now :) But I read it takes anywhere between 6 weeks to 6 MONTHS to see results (if it even works on...

So then what is my next move ? who should i go to for some help ? i'm taking anti anxiety tablets and antidepressants.

...take 1/2 the dosage (25drops) suggested for sleep and maybe 1/2 (10 drops) that if I experience anxiety during the day. It is in my Arsenal to cope with T. It was suggested to me by my Nurse Practitioner. You don't want to use it with other anti anxiety drugs however, but it is great in...

Hi Anne, I understand the torment as well as anybody else on this forum. It gets better, I promise. First and foremost stay out of the silence. You need to have some sort of sound to help you not focus on the T. Second, I use anti-anxiety meds as needed, they help me. Good luck....

I visited my psychiatrist yesterday. He said there is no magic bullet for t, but there are ways to help people cope. So he advised me to take B-viatmins (normally sold in colmplexes) in order to help the nervous system (even if you eat normally you should take them). Of course they dont have a...
