Separate names with a comma.
I don't know what caused this but I remember one day when I was about 10 years old, I swallowed and heard my ears crackle. I'm now 32 and it has...
I don't know if people have brought this up elsewhere, but what I'm worried about is that I won't be able to afford treatment even if it is...
I wish I could be more helpful but my case is a little confusing because I've been on I think 21 psychiatric medications over the past 15 years...
Lamictal had no effect on my tinnitus whatsoever. I hope you feel better soon, no matter what you decide!
It's been all over the news in the US, vaping has been banned pretty much everywhere. There have been several deaths....
Sorry to hear that! Yeah, exactly...I try not to beat myself up about it but boy, I'd do anything to rewind a year. Then again, even if I noticed...
Hi there, I'm really sorry you're going through this. I've had major depression for 20 years and my tinnitus started almost a year ago to the day...
This is why you'll never see me post a "success story" (though I love reading them). Seems like mine can come and go whenever it pleases. My fault...
After a couple weeks of quiet, T has returned after wearing my specially made $1,000 TMJ splint. Learned my lesson about posting successes
Finally some good news--seem to be having success with Nortriptyline. Fingers crossed it lasts.
Just checking in again in case anyone is following--it hasn't been long enough for me to consider myself a "success story" but after a rocky road...
I think these are all good answers. My tinnitus changes very frequently. I can go from having just a low tolerable tone in the morning that I...
Interesting! My therapist (who isn’t an expert on this or anything, but I thought this was an interesting theory) thinks that since I’m now...
Yep, same here! Sometimes I panic thinking I have a new tone, then just turn my head and it's gone.
Yes, it’s interesting! I think some people definitely have triggers but it seems like some don’t as well. It seems that some people have a fairly...
Ugh, same. For me it’s lights. I’ve started eating meals in almost darkness because I can hear the overhead lights in the kitchen and it triggers...
I don’t know your whole history but when I first got tinnitus I was having intermittent severe pain and pressure in both ears. The ENT did...
Being inside my house as it was struck by lightning when I was 7 :wideyed:
thanks so much :huganimation:
Just in case anyone is following--after a few days the spike went away, so looks like either it was a coincidence, or just a temporary side...
I've long thought inflammation is responsible for a lot of my issues from depression to IBS to now tinnitus. I had my doctor run a c-reactive...
Ok, so here's my 2-week check-in of 1950mg a day. I will preface this by saying I made a big mistake in starting 2 new treatments at once which is...
Hi there--my ENT diagnosed me with TMJ and I just went to get a splint made (they said it would help align my jaw properly and protect my teeth...
So I'm extra-sensitive to electronics now. I can hear the lightbulbs in my kitchen buzz which spikes my T. Dinner by candlelight I guess :X
My take is going to be a little different because I had to stop working due to severe panic disorder 2 years BEFORE my tinnitus started. I thought...
Ah, gotcha. I'm seeing my doctor in a few days and will get her input but I'll probably stop as well. I just can't risk it staying like this...
Hi there, I know there are a few posts about Nortriptyline on the forum but I couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for so was wondering if...
Hey there! I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if after the nasty withdrawal your T went back down to its "normal" level. Mine has...
Wow. And the first line of the first paragraph is "Tinnitus is a common condition..." Unbelievable :banghead:
I've noticed the exact same thing! I've had daily anxiety for years and it's noticeably been less since I started the curcumin. Like you, I can't...
Quick update from me--I've been taking it with meals and woke up today in the closest I've had to silence in months. Now, it's only been 2 days so...
I've been so scared to try something new but at this point I'm so fed up with the T I'm willing to go ahead and give this a try. Not much left to...
Officially diagnosed with TMJ today. Not thrilled but at least I have another avenue to explore now
@just1morething @Extreme @Forsberg Just an update--thank you to everyone who suggested I look into TMJ. Despite no real jaw pain or anything, I...
Gotcha, yeah my body is going haywire at the moment as I'm still in withdrawal from one medication and withdrawing from another. I'm gonna rest...
I'm not too familiar with the styles but it's a 90 day online subscription type thing and varies each day. It's mostly gentle yoga with very light...
Yes, it really is so complicated! The whole dizziness issue started for me last December when I fainted on an airplane and then started having...
Yes, I have had a full blood workup and everything was normal except I have had high blood pressure and cholesterol for years. I'm on medication...
Yeah, I've stopped for the past week. It's frustrating because I know exercise helps health so much in general but even things like walking at a...
Hey there! I'm so happy to hear you're doing better, thanks for sharing. Stories like this make it easier to bear. I was just curious, did you do...
I went to an ENT and they did what's called ABR and VNG testing to see how I reacted to various stimuli around my ears. I don't understand it...
Hey everyone, I recently started a yoga practice (like just the past 2 weeks, I've done it off and on before but nothing advanced by any means)....
Thanks for your input! Yeah, I've been following this thread for a while without commenting so I can't remember who exactly has said what, I just...
That's great that you got such good results with HBOT! I'd love to try it. I can't speak for everyone of course but my issue is primarily...
I'm not replying to anyone in particular, just wanted to add to the general benzo discussion. Benzos are absolute hell to get off of, I don't...
I'm so sorry to hear you had to go through that. So much of that is incredibly unethical. I've heard of people going into psych facilities and...
Thanks for the input! Ugh, sorry to hear that! I had actually been considering amitriptyline or nortriptyline if my depression does continue to...
True. Just running out of ideas unless some kind of promising treatment makes it to the US in the next few years :(
I know people on here have mixed feelings on TRT but I went in for an initial consult (I'm in the US), did the pitch/loudness match and...
Thanks, yeah, Klonopin has stopped working for me so I'm going to try switching to Xanax once everything has stabilized a bit. I've been called...
There hasn’t been so far, and yeah, I’m doing it slowly and one at a time (and not just for tinnitus. I’ve been on 19 psych meds in my life and...
Yeah, the sleep is a HUGE thing for me. I'm currently going off a few of my meds just in case they're affecting the tinnitus as well, but after...
I was on generic bupropion, 150mg of the XL. My tinnitus started a week after my first pill.
I honestly woke up like.."omg it's a miracle" only to be right back to my original state the next day. Desperately trying to think...did I take...
T suddenly almost disappeared Monday, I was shocked. Tuesday it shot back up to normal level. Can't figure out why and its driving me nuts
Hi there! For a bit of clarification, I was on Losartan HCTZ for blood pressure for about 10 years before my tinnitus started and was fine with...
Sorry to hear that! Mine has been tolerable the past few days but I've also been really busy and distracted and for me I know it gets louder when...
Oh no, I'm so sorry! I'm about to get off Buspar myself. Luckily it didn't affect my tinnitus, but it's made me so dizzy that I can't function. I...
Thanks, my doctor showed this to me as well, it does help occasionally :)
Yeah, I ended up paying quite a bit but my insurance covered most of it. For that, I had to prove that I’d been on dozens of antidepressants over...
