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.

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'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!

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...

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...

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.

Then look at medications Dr. De Ridder uses that are non-SSRI. Deanxit at low doses is anti-anxiety/antidepressant. Aripiprazole the same.

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

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 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?

Have you considered Paxil? It's an antidepressant that leans more toward anti-anxiety effects than stimulating effects, making it more calming overall. It's an SSRI with an anticholinergic component, which can help reduce essential tremor and may also calm tinnitus. I've been gradually...

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

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.

@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.

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

Thank you for your reply! I definitely hope that I can return to how it was before. I wonder if my anxiety and hyperfixation are causing these new sounds that I've been noticing and that are making it more difficult for me to ignore. I am starting Sertraline, taking my second dose today. I...

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...

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...

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?

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.

My insurance will cover hearing aids if they are deemed medically necessary, which may or may not help. I have mild hearing loss between 3-8 kHz, so it would likely require weeks of back-and-forth between my audiologist and the insurance company before they agree to cover it. Unfortunately, my...

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

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.

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 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...

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

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...

...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...

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

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...

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.

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

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...

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...

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.

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

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.

I would get a new doctor anti depressants and sleeping medicine made the world of difference for me

Taking meds should be the last resort. People who suffer acute anxiety and panic attacks or severe depression or sleeplessness should consider using meds to moderate our reaction to the tinnitus trauma. If you think you can manage w/o meds, then there is no need to use them. That is my...

"Ashwagandha proven to be just as good as anti-anxiety drugs In a 2000 study published in Phytomedicine, the calming effect of ashwagandha on rats was equal to that produced by the prescription anti-anxiety medicine lorazepam (a benzodiazepine)– sold under the trade name Ativan. The team...

I'm not saying, that xanax is antidepressant.. But i have bad experience with amitriptylin and risperidon(anti-anxiety med).. If xanax caused my worse state.. I dont know.. Probably amitriptylin or risperidon..

SSRI SNRI tricyclic tetracyclic benzos are all ototoxic. All the previous listsings in the post are ototoxic. There is no anti anxiety drug that is not ototoxic. Maybe RTG is no ototoxic and helps with anxiety

@Michael Leigh see why I wont take anti-depressants or anti-anxiety med. Things are made 1000X worse..
