Why would researchers investigate adding two drugs (Flupirtine or Retigabine) that have already been discontinued or banned due to bad side effects?

Unfortunately, white noise drives my reactive tinnitus wild. Damned if you do, damned if you don't...

I have exactly the same thing happening to me. Even though you think you haven't heard this music before, you probably have and your brain...

The first woman to literally go viral back in 2001. Every guy (and maybe some girls) wanted to see more of her, even at the expense of breaking...

How about one of the most iconic posters from the 70’s. The hairstyle that every single girl had to have. [ATTACH]

It's interesting that Nortriptyline helps you sleep. When I was on it, I couldn't sleep for even 1 minute for 5 straight days. I had to quit...

I think we've gotten off topic discussing my abdominal pain. My original question remains whether pulsatile tinnitus can be reactive in nature....

Hi @Greg Sacramento. Thanks for your quick reply, much appreciated. For starters, my blood pressure is normal; no hypertension. I recently had a...

Is there anyone who can comment on this? @Michael Leigh? @Greg Sacramento?

Hi @LilSass! I'm a Mississauga resident too and my tinnitus has been getting progressively worse since it first started about 2 years ago. I was...

I believe 5 days of Nortriptyline caused my tinnitus almost a year ago. Have you tried Dayvigo / Lemborexant for sleep?

@juliob, how's your taper going? I've just been prescribed 2x50 mg Pregabalin per day and an worried it might spike my tinnitus.

Well, it’s been about nine months since it originally happened to me. Currently, I would say it is still bothering me quite a bit, but at a lower...

In Canada, a 5 mg pill seems to go for about $1.75 per pill which is about $1.35 in US dollars. However, I have no idea what the pills actually...

I agree that structural damage is not being done to the ear but how long does the damage to the brain chemistry last? I have tinnitus caused by a...

Silly question: what is your normal pulse rate? Would it be around 70? If so, maybe you’re just hearing the “lub dub” and therefore 140? A long...

The full quote is: “For a lot of people, a sound will arise and then pass away. Or maybe they'll be on a medication and then the sound will stop...

Sleepeaze or Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride is the generic for the well known antihistamine Benadryl. Literally, many millions of people have taken...

I didn’t see anything in that article that said it was permanent.

Why? Did you have bad side effects or trouble stopping?

Did you ever wind up trying it?

Have you tried Benadryl recently? I found that it helps me sleep through most of the night. It also knocked down my tinnitus to a tolerable...

I have not, but I live in the GTA as well (Mississauga) and am on the lookout for a good ENT for our issues, if such a person even exists around here.

Hopefully you actually get to see him and he takes an interest in you. Recent online reviews indicate that you might only get to see one of his...

It's been many days since I've had any kind of significant night's sleep. I've tried Melatonin, generic Benadryl, generic Gravol. None of those...

Update: I had hoped that things would be getting better by now, but instead they are getting worse. The Musical Ear Syndrome has come back with...

Things are getting worse...unable to sleep through the majority of the night because the silence is deafening

I don't work right now. I've tried Melatonin for the past two nights. It was great at getting me to sleep but then I woke up 2 hours later from...

Wow, I thought I was being conservative by using the 3 mg since I saw 5 mg and 10 mg on sale. Thanks, I guess I can cut them in half. Although I...

I just tried it last night for the first time. It certainly helped me get to sleep, but then my roaring tinnitus woke me up 2 hours later. I’m...

No improvement yet, perhaps things are a little worse, but it’s hard to tell for sure, since it’s so up and down. Lately, sleep has become a problem.

@GBB Did Melatonin make your tinnitus worse or did it just have no effect? I’m thinking of trying it as a sleep aid, but I don’t want to make my...

@Greg Sacramento See above. ^^ Also, if you were to suggest a drug to counteract the MES effects of Nortriptyline, which one would it be?

I had no symptoms of anxiety or depression. The meds were prescribed to deal with chronic nerve pain. They helped a little temporarily, but at...

I looked at the link above and tricyclics are listed as causative. Once MES has been established, is there any chance that it will go away on its...

@Greg Sacramento Thanks for the quick response. Male, early 60s. I probably had slight tinnitus in my left ear before, but not pulsatile. My...

@Greg Sacramento Can you comment on this please? I would value your opinion. I would also note that my pulsatile tinnitus is at its quietest in...

Indeed, determining cause and effect is elusive. Sometimes, it takes someone else’s comment to help. Someone mentioned that if you have TMJ,...

@hans799 Did you have any bad side effects from it? There's always something... I've learned that the hard way from antidepressants.

I’m another new member to the forum who has MES (along with pulsatile tinnitus). I believe my MES was caused by Nortriptyline. I actually managed...

I have unfortunately recently acquired MES as well. I managed to get rid of it for a few days but then it came back when I was in an environment...

I don't know how similar Amitriptyline is to Nortriptyline, but I believe that after 4 days on Nortriptyline, I developed increased tinnitus and...

How did you determine the 10 kHz value?

I have a post on here where I believe that the antidepressant nortriptyline that I took for only 4 days has worsened my tinnitus dramatically. Of...

Yesterday, I tried to keep things as quiet as possible, in order to protect my ears. No TV, music or talking. That seems to have been a mistake....
