Congrats #Cher69. This is so nice to come back to TT and see success stories from when we were struggling. You gave me some good advice, thank...

Saw them live in Central Park in my teens. It was great! Lost my friends, got dark, walked over to an NYPD officer for help who gave me a ride...

This is very interesting. I am basically doing the reverse of what you are doing. I'm tapering Trazadone first, and next is Remeron. You tapered...

I'm down to 25 Trazadone from 75. I noticed that once I got to 25 the mood swings stopped. I am still taking 7.5 Remeron. How was that withdrawal?...

Hi Michael. I am currently tapering Trazadone very slowly. If you don't mind, can you tell me what your withdrawal symptoms are like?

Just got back from a 7 1/2 hour flight and used Bose noise cancelling headphones. They work great.

Congrats on your success story. After I while I said to myself that I had better stop being anxious and sad about it. I thought maybe if I...

The taste of the apple cider vinegar was not that great but I mixed it with water to make it drinkable. The black strap molasses was not too bad....

Hi Jonathon. Give it a little more time. I got used to the sound and I don't find it necessary to mask when I nap. At night I still put the TV on...

I took fish oil, 1 T of black strap molasses, and 1 T of organic apple cider vinegar for about 2 weeks straight. I did it because I had a bit of a...

I recommend noise cancelling headphones. They work wonders to keep everything super quiet. You don't hear the jet engines at all. I used them last...

Hi there, I didn't have dental implants but I did have a couple of route canals and a deep cavity filled. The dentist drill seemed very loud due...

I have T in my left ear. When I first got it there was no way I was going to sleep on my left side as the T sounded much louder. It took some time...

I love R.E.M. Favorite song Strange Currencies

I saw Led Zeppelin in concert at Madison Square Garden. We partied so much I fell asleep during the concert and woke up to "Dazed and Confused"....

Yes, that used to happen to me, I would dose off cause I would be so tired during the day from lack of sleep. I would wake up with the T spiking....

Wow just got an alert for my old thread. Good news folks, it gets much better. Sleeping very well now. No more Ambien, tapering ADs. I feel good....

I am tapering ADs. I use magnesium citrate (Natural Calm) mix with water and drink before bedtime. Start with 1/2 tsp. Zyflomend- I started...

Hi there Felix. I was in your shoes when I first got T, but things got a LOT better with time. I feel just about normal, and you can too. You need...

Pulp Fiction Lost In Translation The Piano

Hi Julie, It sounds like you have some sound sensitivity along with mild T. I think if you just listened to sounds a bit lower, i.e. lower tv,...

Any games my son makes. He's a video game designer.

@NiNyu some days I think the sound is lower but what I really think that's happening is it's because I am no longer anxious about it or care that...

NiNyu, I see this has started for you 12/14. I was where you are at 12/13. I could not sleep, adrenal/cortisol surges would wake me as soon as I...

Natural Calm (magnesium citrate) makes me mellow and drowsy. I take it an hour or so before bedtime. Helps with sleep imo.

Sudafed is a decongestant. Afrin nasal spray is good too. I'm flying Saturday too. I bring gum, earplanes, earplugs, and noise cancelling...

I had the ear spasms too when I first got T. After a few months, it went away completely. I think the anxiety about T and the greater sound...

Yes, I've noticed a link. Hormones going crazy and all, little more anxious, and yes it spikes some. But not to worry, it will level off.

Yeah me too. I'm starting Atkin's next week.

Mark, What you should do is to start doing the things you've always loved doing including seeing friends, going to the gym, etc. even if you force...

Haha. I'll remind my amygdala.

Cold turkeying of ADs can cause these physical and mental symptoms you are describing. A slow taper is usually suggested because of this. I had a...

Christopher I am glad you found this forum. You will find much needed support and information here. Welcome. I was in your shoes exactly one year...

Hi @Karen. Are you still taking the An Shen Bu Xin Wan? I am looking to add to my sleep arsenal. I take melatonin and magnesium and they work...

No, not me. One cup of coffee to wake up. Wish I could have more, but I want to have some good sleep. A glass of wine or two in the evening is...

I am doing well. Thank you for asking. I have high frequency hearing loss, about 12,000 hz. I never got hearing aids because my only issue was...

Yes, I had the drilling done w/ no problems with the sound of it. I used only headphones with some music on very low. Root canals just suck...

Good news! Not even a teeny bit of a spike after the root canal. As a matter of fact, I am having quite a low T day.

Hi there Amelia. It's good to take a break from the boards and check back every so often. How was the dentist visit? I have been avoiding the...

So if TRT improves your reaction to T, I assume TRT will improve your sleep also? That is, your brain will listen to the T while sleeping and view...

I hear you on that one. Just had an appointment with a psychiatrist and wanted him to review the sleep meds I was taking since I only had my...

Ruby Tuesday, The Rolling Stones

Thanks for your response. I have an appointment to start TRT along with the sound generators. I was wondering did the clinician advise you on how...

Thats great @SueR. Mine went away for the most part, but I have noticed lately that it came back some. When I go into noisy restaurants, etc. it...

Hi @SueR. I was thinking of starting therapy with the sound generators for H. Did you get lot of improvement with them? My H got much better with...

Thank you golly. It's hard to find the right meds to sleep. This one seems like a winner.

Thanks golly. you were drowsy the first week or so?

I just started remeron 7.5. It really helps with sleeping at night, but I find it has been making me drowsy during the day also. I have only taken...

Yes, she had hypercusis about 10 years ago. I am not sure of the extent, but what she told me everything seemed super loud like dishes clanging,...

Just a follow-up to my post. I guess ignorance is bliss. The doctor was not able to tell her what H was, so she actually saved herself a lot of...

You're a good man billie. Your wife is lucky to have you to support her. I am sure, because of you, she will find it much easier.

Hi neenie, I think you need to get a scale. That might be the best way. What is Picamilon used for? sleep?

I am a mystery shopper. Shhh! don't tell anyone.

Hi Demi. I use Restful Rain by Purewhitenoise.com. Also Simplynoise.com has the rain app that's nice as you can add a little extra like thunder...

I wish my doctor would have prescribed me Remeron instead of Trazadone. I think it's because he thought I would gain weight, I don't know. Last...

I wonder if I should take it at bedtime for sleeping. In your experience with Holy Basil, when is the best time to take it? Thanks.

Outdoor natural sounds are the best for H in my opinion. We have a family of cardinals in my backyard for years. I liked to play with my dog...
