I’m so desperate. Who can relate in waiting the bad days out till you are allowed to sleep to have a better day? My pattern is pretty much on/off...

Is it possible that Mirtazapine quietens the tinnitus a bit? And if yes would this be constant while on the drug? Today it seemed a little quieter...

I did make an account and will see what they say. The problem is that I’m still on Paxil. They now gave me Mirtazapine 30 mg to stabilize my mood...

I can in so many ways relate (nerve pain, ear pressure, clicking, highly sensitive nervous system, not feeling like normal tinnitus/hyperacusis)....

If the SSRI-induced worsening really is reversible, I’d be tapering right now. But for me so much hope is gone because I have already taken it for...

I’m sure that it caused it but am 4 months in. And in addition to this I still have symptoms from the first withdrawing in 08/2022. I don’t feel...

I’m currently at a psych ward. They want to help me taper it down but it takes time. It’s one of the most difficult to come off SSRIs (Paxil). So...

Hello, I’m a 42-year-old man with family (wife, 4 kids) and I experienced a worsening of my pre-existing tinnitus from an SSRI 4 months ago. It’s...

Hi from Germany to you!

I’m currently 4 months in and am aware of my tinnitus 24/7. I just can’t let it go. It’s a screech and it’s reactive.

Hi Dave, i am an avid musician playing in 3 bands with my electric guitar. Four months ago I experienced a worsening of pre-existing tinnitus and...

Not sure how... Some days are manageable, but others are brutal. I hope to get a grip soon.

My ears still hurt from yesterday. I won’t leave the bedroom today and my family won’t understand. The cinema was testing grounds. I slept 10...

I have a family, 4 little kids, and for the past 4 months I’ve been withdrawing from life. I went to the cinema with them today, I couldn’t stand...

Hi, did your tinnitus subside or somehow improve? Greetings

That would be of my interest too. And do I understand correctly that the Dr. Susan Shore device should target the SSRI induced misfire in the...

Thanks. I was asking especially in regards to the hearing distortions.

Xanax helps reduce the volume a bit. But as I said, I’ve taken 0.5 mg of it every 3-4 days since 3.5 months. There wasn’t a week without it. And...

Hi there, My tone is so high pitched that I hear sound distortions all the time. So when I try to distract myself with music, podcast etc., I...

I slept 6.5 hours with Zopiclone 7.5 mg. Not too bad. But tinnitus is loud nevertheless. Coping is really difficult with these loudness levels.

My tinnitus is so incredibly high pitched I cannot believe it. It’s like a leaking gas tank on my right ear. It really wears me down. I had to go...

I’m on Ambien since 10 days. I don’t want to get addicted. I couldn’t take it in addition to all the other stuff. But I guess I’ll go with the...

I cut down the Pipamperone last night and feel so much better mentally but my ears are screaming wild. It might have been the Promethazine, I’m...

Thanks for your answer. I’m on Xanax on and off every 3-4 days since 3 months. So the doctors here don’t want to give me high doses of another...

I now read that Promethazine has also the potential of worsening tinnitus which could explain why my tinnitus is through the roof today. Did I...

Since last night I’m now on Atosil (Promethazine) instead of Pipamperone. Sleep was great but the tinnitus is loud.

I’m also taking Xanax every 3-4 days (today 1 mg) but it doesn’t seem to help. On the good days I try to be distracted. But on the bad days I...

I’m on Dipiperon (Pipamperone) for the night, Ambien (Zolpidem) for a week or so, and Paroxetine 10 mg. I usually have 2-3 days that are...

This is so cool to read, Dave! I remember you being in a very different state of mind back in the days.

@AvidReader mentioned antidepressants too.

I've taken an antidepressant for 3.5 months. It has aggravated my tinnitus. Do you think stopping taking the antidepressant could still resolve...

Thank you for your time and answers! I was on Paxil for 6 years. I was off of it for about 2 months, then reintroduced it, unfortunately. I’m on...

Germany. I had taken Paxil for 5 years. I have tapered it til Summer 2022 and had the worst withdrawal. That’s why I reintroduced it. All the...

Actually I am in a Psych Ward right now since one week because I was so uncertain about the medication. But they don’t seem to understand the...

No, because Paxil is so difficult to switch from to another one. I couldn’t take it right now. I’m not an that of a high dosage (10 mg) but my...

The problem was the reintroduction of Paxil. My tinnitus changed and is now very difficult to handle. I have days when I can only lie in bed and...

Yeah, sorry, I wasn’t doing very well. It all happened when I withdrew from Paxil this summer. The withdrawal was very hard so I reintroduced...

Hi all, I’m not new to this forum, I have been on here for a few years. I experienced a worsening in my tinnitus 3.5 months ago that makes it...

Honestly, how? How do you manage not to panic? I'm struggling real hard not to panic during the day. How loud is your tinnitus? Can you mask it?

Is nobody familiar with this kind of pattern?

Hi @billie48, I was inspired by your success story. What does loud tinnitus mean for you? Mine is so loud since my worsening 3 months ago that I...

Do you still work?

How do you work and manage? I’m at my wits’ end. How is this possible? How long did it take you?

So you do hear your tinnitus in the shower? Seems pretty loud to me?

Thanks for your reply. From what I read, I thought you were doing better. Do you also have the loud reactive kind of tinnitus? How old are your...

Tinnitus since many years, always manageable. I’ve been on Paroxetine for many years. This summer I tried to taper off of it. I experienced...

Never would have thought to write in this thread. But it is how it is... I have four little kids and my hearing is wrecked. For them I want to...

I’m interested in Tianeptine. Currently I’m on Paxil which I plan to taper off of. My doctor suggested Tianeptine. Has anyone experienced any...

My milestone would be same tinnitus loudness but threshold shift for sounds that cover the tinnitus. So that a movie, people talking etc. would...

My problem is that my new tinnitus (after worsening) is piercing through everyday noises and isn’t maskable anymore by environmental noises. This...

Was Lenire successful for you? Is your tinnitus lower?

Is it actually true that Lenire can make the tones you hear softer? Since my reintroduction of Paxil, my tone is so much higher than before. I'd...

OK. But despite that, not sure what to do. Try to taper again? Stay on it for a while?

Ok, but even if it is not ototoxic, it made my tinnitus higher, finer, high pitched, more screeching. So yes, it is worse now.

Hi all, I experienced a pretty recent worsening in my existing tinnitus 2.5 months ago, probably from Paroxetine (Paxil) withdrawal that I had...

I also have these high-pitched distortions and it’s driving me nuts. It’s combined with a sort of cramped feeling right ear.

Do you think I could just stop because of the more infrequent use (not daily)? Today is the second day after my last intake and my anxiety is...

I surely would miss the 3.000 €, but I’m honestly at my wits’ end. I’m barely able to work, the electrical hiss is making me so afraid. I have...
