Mais ton Anglais est superbe! Happy to hear that you are doing much better. 2.5 years ago, I was in a clinique psychiatrique in Nîmes. I am doing...
@Morgoth51, are you French/in France? Funny, my psychiatrist in France mentioned Clomipramine to me. I thought that Amitriptyline increased my...
Hi @Leila, thanks, but no need. I was asking about the Mucinex because of the NAC connection. @Strawberryblonde, look for a big thread on NAC here...
Does it have NAC in it? I take a French product called MucoDrill, which is just N-Acetylcysteine. It's good - thins mucus - and people on here...
@TLion, I still think you should be taking something to calm you down in the meantime. You are doing the right thing trying another...
What happened with this?
Is that you saying "they did nothing at all for me" in a nice way?! The machines have various sounds, like nature sounds. The audiologist said...
@ECP, perhaps try the Sukie Baxter meditation for chronic pain on YouTube: [MEDIA] There is a little eye movement exercise at some point. I...
Hi @Lane - I have no idea how you came across this, but can you let us know if it does anything in relation to energy levels. I am not sure where...
@OnlyUP - thanks for the endorsement - I am so happy that this mind-body healing has been helping you. You seem to be further along than me with...
Hi @ECP. I agree with you entirely on that one - it is hard to know if ear generators will be helpful or not. I have a pair (all covered here in...
Hi @Samy, I am sorry that you are finding things difficult at the moment - I I hope that you can soon turn a corner on the road to recovery....
I do understand what you mean, @ECP. You know, when I was discussing this with my psychiatrist, I said it was a traumatic experience for me. It...
@ECP, have you listened to any more podcasts? Are you seeing/hearing anything that might be of relevance to you? It is natural to look at others...
Hey @Samy! Well, I purchased a Curable subscription and started doing the bits on there (brain training, meditation, education and writing). I...
Try to work with the psychiatrist to get the medication right. Hold on to the better days. Use masking. Do what you to calm your system there. Let...
Keep at it @TLion. You will get there.
Does Xanax help with the perceived volume? And do you interact with others there? Does that help a little?
How was sleep?
Zopiclone. Valium. Doxylamine. Melatonin. You'll have to ask the psychistrist
If Ambien works, take that. I just took Valium. Think I had 10 mg at night to start. It knocked me out with the amount I was also taking during...
They seem very conservative. You are not addicted to Xanax from 3 months of taking 1 mg every 3-4days. You are not going through severance, you...
I prefer Valium. Are the psychiatrists there against taking too much benzo? I needed high amounts to help break my racing thoughts and anxiety....
@ECP, I do not believe that you gave so much time and energy to this woman merely because you hoped that it would bring someone to you in your old...
Do you know why you are taking an antipsychotic plus an antidepressant? Any reason why you have not been given a benzodiazepine? Your life is not...
@TLion, you know yourself what is driving this: "My reaction wasn't very good, panic etc."' "It's like a sensation of the nervous system,...
@TLion, I have no wish to argue with you, but it does seem like you need to try something else. I am not sure how long you did not take Paxil, but...
Where are you @TLion? What country?
Have you asked about switching? Are you seeing a psychiatrist? You just lower one as you introduce and increase the other. And you can take...
But have you spoken to a psychiatrist about changing to another SSRI?
Wow @ECP, that's quite a story. It is easy to see why the events leading up to your awareness/triggering of the tinnitus are so painful for you....
Nothing to apologise for. I understand that Paxil is a tough AD, so take the necessary time to come off of it. Has no one spoken to you about...
@TLion, I am sorry for the troubles you are having right now. I do think it can get better, yes. It has for others as it has for me. Anything...
@ECP, how are you doing now? I just wanted to say that I have read this thread and other messages of yours. I did want to ask if you had any...
Eustachian tubes?
Essentially, not only can stress perpetuate physical symptoms, it can also create them. On the other hand, as you state, stress can also...
Yes, but there was no acoustic trauma to trigger the tinnitus as far as you can remember. You spoke about onset during stress and the pandemic -...
But you are not aware of any noise trauma precipitating any hearing loss and tinnitus, are you? What is the range of your hearing loss? Either...
Well, from a mind-body perspective (and from any perspective I think), the recovery process requires that we confront the symptom (i.e. exposure)....
@Joe Cuber, thank you. I cannot take the credit for the discoveries of others, but I do see the application of the principles to tinnitus and do...
It will not surprise you to know that the pandemic (and resulting confinement) had huge effects on the health of many - and not because of...
Hi @Jackson Brady. Time is key in healing. But it is not just the passing of time. For example, if you are desperate for your tinnitus to be...
There's neuroscience that proves that stress can be the primary cause of any physical symptom - and that it can make sounds appear louder than usual.
Originating from psychological issues, could well be. What IS clear is that stress does not help in overcoming it. What is also clear from...
So perfectionist, anxious, history of insomnia. Are you a people pleaser? Do you want people to like you? And do you express anger freely or do...
@Athens, any history of other chronic symptoms, physical or psychological? Any trauma growing up issues with parents?
You are very welcome. So you notice that increased heart rate causes reactivity? Or do you mean that it spikes your tinnitus? I am guessing the...
Heart rate and blood flow do not really make sounds that you should be hearing though. Have you looked at pulsatile tinnitus - had an ENT check...
Is it the increased heart rate that aggravates the sound - or is it the sound that increases the heart rate? I.e. is fear driving an increased...
Hi @ErikaS, good to hear you are enjoying the book. I haven't read it yet, but I would suggest you also listen to the podcast Alan did with Alon...
@ErikaS - how is "The Way Out" going? I think Alan Gordon is great. The whole mindbody thing seems to make a lot of sense - and tinnitus is...
@Ben Haziri and do you know what caused it?
@Ben Haziri how bad was it before and how is it now (on a 1 to scale)? Whereabouts are you? I have jaw problems so it may be of benefit if I can...
Any more detail?
Thanks @Peter Q. How are you doing with things?
Lol - I "think" I am doing okay too. I am going to try some ear-level white noise generators. Not sure what I will do with them exactly, but will...
Not sure what that one is, but do whatever helps. I'm happy it helped me - hopefully you'll sort it out.
Me. I got it a few months ago from using CPAP. Did the Epley manoeuvre and it went away, Hasn't come back.
@Vicki3116, how are you? You are in our thoughts.
Geoff, what happened with Clomipramine? Did you try it for tinnitus?
