I got tinnitus from benzos too. It got manageable with time after fully stopping the benzos. I'd say about 6 months.
You mentioned you take sleep medication. Which ones? They are known to trigger tinnitus, like it was in my case.
You buy some bitcoin from the convenience store near you. Register on a dark web market and buy anything you need if docs cant help you. You help...
This thread full of suffering kills me. Proof life has no meaning.
Been there my friend. It does get better with time. Just passed 6 months. Not gone but quiet enough to live life. You'll get there. I took prozac...
Armodafinil is bam-bam isn't it? This stuff really works better than Modafinil. I love it but I honestly can't go to sleep even after 15 hours of...
How's it going bud?
Hang in there man. It's gonna take a while but you'll get out of this. Technically your road to recovery started only 8 days ago when you got off...

@dan @PeteJ guys I found this in Toronto. They seem to offer transcranial magnetic and electric treatments....
@mrsgruffy can you give us an update? Your post was so painful to read. You suffer so much. This doctor in Russia treats tinnitus and Meniere's:...
Treat it like a benzo so taper as slow as possible. There is a chance of increased tinnitus like with every gabaergic. But the spike won't stay.
Why not give benzos a try? It's better to be alive and addicted if that is your fear.
Hey you're in Ireland. The home of Lenire. Check them out
The point is that despite all this abuse... those people still don't get tinnitus... like why us.
i was just watching some footage of live rap/rock shows on YouTube... the level in these shows is obscene... these artists laying on speakers......
If robots ate electronic bacon for breakfast, the amplified sound of it frying in the electro-microwave pan... that's what that shit sounds like.
@Chinmoku why were you prescribed pregabalin in the first place?
I know. I guess the final point is passing electrical current or stimulation of some sort through the cochlear or vagus nerve. Electricity being key.
I look at it as magnetising a weak magnet. They run directional current through it and all the particles get realigned in a proper way and the...
I know mate, that hiss from hell.
I was reading your post and got a fleeting spike in my left ear as was reading it. Took it as a sign to comment. Came across this reading and...
This condition absolutely shattered any belief in reason and causality in this life.
AVIYT maybe you can make a video about this to raise awareness of the seriousness of tinnitus and hyperacusis.
i wouldn't be too worried if I was you. I've recovered from many upclose explosions... I think it's the prolonged exposure (many hours on a daily...
Tilt your head with the ear with water facing the floor and jump on one foot (the same foot that the ear with water is on) and YouTube is a great...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy early on can work... but yeah be patient.. with tinnitus, weeks become days. It will stop or stabilize at a lower level...
Give it time my friend. Definitely stay away from loud music and wearing headphones. In a month or two it should get better or stop.
Any more updates on use of this drug?
@acute even do exercises like this from YouTube: [MEDIA] [MEDIA] Maybe a coincidence but i noticed small positive changes after 3 or 4 days of...
How are you doing these days? Are you taking any meds? I saw somewhere you are taking benzos? How soon after the onset of tinnitus did you start...
What are some things you may want to try in the future to fix this Avi? I think it's just a misfiring of nerves... have you considered any...
There is an app called atmosphere... myriad of sounds there you can combine and have on infinite.
Sleep was my only escape when it was really bad. I would put rain sounds next to my ear and try to sleep as long as possible.
i wouldn't discount the benzos even though you stopped for some time. Tinnitus from benzos can take many months to show changes.
Yeah, your tinnitus is very recent. it'll probably go away.
No experience with amitriptyline but if you got it from the benzos or z drugs, it goes away with time but it can take long. If you don't feel...
@Eric N There's this tinnitus treatment clinic in Montreal https://neuromtl.com/tinnitus/#treatment Have you considered them?
It's very slow... weeks are like days.
Thank you Bill. You probably give the most level headed advice around here... Everyone's thinking is so catastrophic around here. The tone in my...
Thanks Graham. There's been some improvement... but still feels like a long way to go if it stays at this rate.
Been blessed with tinnitus since October 2019... don't have a direct reason but will not go into it here. Reading many posts here, one common...
i still find it hard to believe that medications can do lasting damage... you're still fairly recent into it
What are the meds that got you in this mess?
I definitely got mine from Ambien.
Go to BenzoBuddies and you will see a ton of people with no prior tinnitus who developed it after withdrawing or quitting. I'm one of them.
I got tinnitus from Ambien, Mary. How are you doing today?
You got tinnitus from Zolpidem?
Can we get an update AVIYT? But I can understand him. If drugs got us to this place, drugs can take us out too... drugs or long term abstinence...
Hi. I believe i caused myself tinnitus by taking a strong stimulant called Armodafinil during the day for concentration at work and by taking...
I don't have a problem with sounds... just have tinnitus that I suspect is from benzo withdrawal... It's a tiny hiss that morphs often on top of...
Only thing that keeps me going is these releases... if i stick it out for 2 or 3 hours, I get these releases where it goes down to a tolerable...
No, with going through with it.
Maybe we can meet up for mutual support. I'm in Toronto. You?
I'm starting to feel pretty at peace with the idea.
@PeteJ where in Canada are you?
What medication did you go for Dave?
i wonder how many of us here actually end up doing it.
