Has anyone heard of this?
Ive heard Amitryptiline can help but who knows.
I was taking that dose (as perscribed) for 42 months.
Baseline being a 1-2 on a scale of 1-10 and the spikes being 9-10. The bad days can get so bad that Im extremely hearing impared when they occur.
Why such a sharp contrast? How can anyone possibly habituate to this insane cycle???
Keep in mind that .25mg of Xanax is the pharmacuetical equiv. to 5mg of Valium. To add to that, Xanax is both a fast acting benzo with a very...
I will atest to the fact that my crazy cycling T was brought on by benzo withdrawal
Has anyone tried this? Did it help?
Question:Is T that follows an almost determinable pattern a result of a plastic change in the brain? If so, one would have to think that there is...
I cant speak for everyone but my rapid taper from Xanax was, without doubt, the cause of my T. Im pretty sure it has to do with too little GABA...
Same here...My baseline days vs. screaming T days are invariably separated by sleep cycles.
I believe it has to do with glutamate levels. When we sleep they're very low. Once we wake, these levels rapidly rise.
Yesterday I posted how delightful it was to be blessed with a quiet day. Today is payback....Ugh!:(
Today I've been blessed with almost complete silence. As I have explained on this forum before, I've been experiencing days where my T is at or...
I suspect that since mine started soon after I withdrew from taking Xanax, that it is a protracted withdrawal symptom.
TyTy, Do you mind if I ask how your T started?
Here's how I will take Xanax... Step one: Open bottle over an open toilet. Step two: Turn bottle upsidedown and shake vigoursly. Step three:...

I am so stoked about it. I was starting to believe that I was stuck in this fu--'d up 48hr. loop. It's obvious that the cycle can be broken.
Today is the second time in almost two years that I've gone three days at basline. If it can happen twice, maybe...just maybe....:)
Do you mind if I ask which medication caused the onset?
I firmly beleive that my T was brought on by a far too rapid taper. I went from 4mg of Xanax to 0mg in 4 weeks. The acute withdrawal stage was...
Yes Yes July 4 was my last Xanax
Quite honestly...Nothing special. My T was brought on by benzo withdrawal. Im approaching 2 years benzo free so maybe its the slow process of...
I've posted on here about a month ago on how I had created a spreadsheet and was tracking my cycling T. It's a little more than 60 days since I...
I know having T, for the most part, sucks and Im fully aware of my need to try to habituate. How does someone with cyclical T do this? How can our...
getting slammed today after to baseline days. It amazes me how it can spike from out of nowhere. Seems like my head is filled with cement when it...
Since this crazy cycle of spiking T started post a far too rapid taper from 4mg of Xanax a day regimine. Could my T issues all be part of benzo...
I'm just getting off a two day stint of blissful quiet. It's amazing how my mood and concentration are several times better during these quieter...
I've had this crazy cycling T since about July of 2012. I started tracking it last month in an effort to see if there's any pattern to the good...
For me it raises my BP. That causes an increase in my T. On the otherhand it drains the sinuses which can lower my T.(n)
I'm glad I found this thread as I've been experiencing this crazy rapid non-rhythmic "thumping" sound in my left ear (same ear that the tinnitus...
Guess I gotta count my blessings...Hopefully, AT LEAST 2 days at a time:)
I've had this cycle that has varied but, has never awarded me more than two days where my T settles down to at or below baseline. What's the deal...
I believe it the range of sound that a shower provides that can lessen the T
My T was brought on by a horrible Benzo C/T. At first it tortured me every day 24/7. It now can give me as much as two days of peace. I'm holding...
How's it possible to go from T that can make you insane to hardly noticable in less than 12 hours? I'll take it but it baffles me. I almost...
I think the most important thing is HOPE. Whithout it, I would have been driven insane long ago. I look at it this way...if our brains can manage...
I know there's been studies done to validate that anxiety can produce T. But yesterday I was in a car accident (stressful to say the least) and my...
I'm hoping that someone else has had this... The T that has plagued me since July 2012 is not a constant pitch. It mostly in my left ear and seems...
I did not test well in my left ear. I believe I have substantial hearing loss in my left ear (shotgun blast). I was looking into acoustic...
I suffer in silence (figuritively speaking) My wife is not very supportive. She thinks I should sue the MD that perscribed the benzos to me.
Its 6:31AM in the northeast. Snow's starting to pick the pace but this marks morning number 2 with only baseline T so it's sunny and warm in my...
Just like I planned. T's screaming since I woke up this morning....Ugh:(
Two words..... Tolerance Withdrawal.
Thanks guys, I guess it's all part of the habituation process. I'll get there eventually (I hope).
Today is one of blisssfully quiet days yet I am all too aware of the s--t storm on the horizon. It seems I cant enjoy this gift.
I wish I did just that. I can unequivocally attest to the fact that all my T woes were as a result of benzo cessation syndrome. I've had baseline...
I've said it before and I'll say it again... Benzos are dangerous medications that should always be taken with caution. This chemical has an...
Your cuts should be made based upon a % of the last dose. In other words, once the dose drops the cuts will get exponentially smaller. Otherwise...
Same two day cycle for me too. On the "T days" it usually starts with slightly elevated T in the early AM and increases to screaming T by mid-day....
I have been through a lot of forums and it seems that the common denominator in people suffering from T that it is pharmacologically attributable...
As a matter of fact, yes... a very ill informed MD put me through that hell. It was, hands down, the most horrifying experience of my life. I...
I had ONLY baseline, bilateral T of which truly never bothered me. It was very faint and I hardly ever noticed it unless I was in a quiet place...
it is unpredictible. Most all withdrawal sxs eventually subside but how long it takes is unknown.
Mine was brought on by too rapid a taper off a high dose of Xanax. (4mg per day taken for 3.5 years tapered to 0mg in 1 month)
ALL my T misery stated after a far too rapid taper from long term benzo use. I can absolutely attest to the fact that benzo cessation syndrome has...
Zolpidem is a "Z" drug its a variation of a benzo. It should not be taken for extended peroods of time. abrubt cessitation can cause withdrawal...
I too have this almost predictable cycle of screaming T that will DRAMATICALLY quiet down almost every other day. This pattern is almost...
