Separate names with a comma.
I’ve been dealing with a spike for 7 months after 10 years of habitation. It came back during a panic attack. Since my already awful anxiety has...
Hey, I started taking 10 mg 2x a day last Thursday. In the last two days my tinnitus seems more intrusive but I’ve also been hyper vigilant...
Mirtazapine is probably what got me through the worst of it. I wasn’t able to sleep at all before starting it. It lets me sleeep when I want to...
How did Buspar go? I just got prescribed it.
Side note, has anyone tried Buspar and had any luck? My GAD is out of control, unrelated to tinnitus (mostly), but I can’t really find anyone...
Fair enough. Fair enough. Apparently I did quite literally say “pretend I don’t have tinnitus” anyway. Regardless I’m sorry for being...
The “answer” you gave me wasn’t the problem. Most of the thread has expressed they think it’s potentially a bad idea. My issue was that you...
Appreciate the response again. In my case at least the only healing to be done is emotional. Stress and anxiety put me in this mess and the only...
I don’t really understand the hostility here, did I do something to you? I’m sorry I was apparently so contradictory you needed to write a snarky...
Hey, I’m so sorry to hear that. I had a lot of trouble sleeping when this relapse (?) first happened. I actually ended up in a psyche ward because...
I don’t plan on being careless. I just don’t want to be afraid of everyday sounds anymore. I’ll keep y’all posted.
To be honest I’m not sure what worked the first time. It was before the internet was so ubiquitous so I didn’t even think to google it or join a...
The ears don’t heal. Once the damage is done it’s done. Besides, my noise trauma was 11 years ago. It becomes a mental exercise at this point.
Appreciate everyone’s input here but I don’t really understand the point of hiding away like a hermit. Hiding from sound only seems to make me...
That’s exactly my feeling. It’s already with me 24/7 so what could really change by living life? At least I’d get some enjoyment and happiness...
You can read my history if you want but long story short my tinnitus that I was habituated to for about a decade became a hyper fixation for me...
I also want to know people's experience on this. I'm considering asking my psychiatrist about it.
I’m honestly not sure I’ve gotten any better but I’m definitely handling it better. It’s still intrusive most of the day in that I can hear it but...
Hey I’m considering Buspar as my anxiety (mostly unrelated to tinnitus) is off the charts and I think is making my tinnitus worse. I’m already on...
As the title says I’m on month 5 after a stupid panic attack happened that saw me latching back onto the sound of my tinnitus. At this point am I...
Some of you may have read my other post about how tinnitus was no longer giving me anxiety and I wondered if that was the first step to...
Thank you, I know logically that’s true but truly believing it can be hard. I was completely adjusted to tinnitus for 10 years. I noticed it at...
I started therapy about 3-4 weeks ago. It’s been helpful for sure. Just feeling frustrated with myself. I know 90% of this is just perception and...
I lied about tinnitus not giving me anxiety apparently. The last two days have been tough. I just don’t get it. I’ve heard this sound for 10...
To be entirely honest I’m not sure. I don’t think the volume has changed at all I think I just honed in on it again if that makes sense? I can...
How long ago did your spike/relapse happen? Insane that something you think you’ve dealt with can just come back like this and wreak havoc all...
Yes 10 years ago when I first got tinnitus it was loud enough that I could often hear it in the shower. I habituated in approximately 6-8 months...
That’s very true and very well said. I have some sound sensitivity and “reactionary” tinnitus lately but I think it’s all because I expect it to...
How long did it take you the second time? I always assumed if I had a major spike it would only take me a few days/weeks to adjust since I’d done...
Both I think. I don’t think my tinnitus volume was/is actually any louder. It’s hard to say because it definitely seemed/s louder. But it’s not at...
Long story short, I’ve had tinnitus 10ish years. Habituated and didn’t think about it often. 4 months ago I had a panic attack and refocused on my...
No it’s not possible. It’s anxiety. You were looking/expecting it to do something and so you brought it about. Tinnitus is so fickle and evil that...
Thank you. This was what I needed to read I think. I’m having a hard time letting the emotions go. Even when I think I’m doing well they’re still...
So about 2 months ago I had an anxiety induced spike that spiraled out of control. My previously minor tinnitus of 8 years became an unrelenting...
