Separate names with a comma.
Are you aware of a list of TRT (or similar counseling based therapy) practitioners in the UK. I've found it hard to find an up to date list by...
This forum can drag you down quicker than it can pick you up. My advice is to get the information that you need from it and try to move on slowly...
It must be difficult working in such quiet conditions. Have you looked into getting proper maskers fitted and running them while at work?
You come out with some crazy nonsense. The dizziness certainly sounds anxiety related. I get it too from time to time and have done for a while....
70dB is said to be the sound of a "normal" conversation i.e. not too loud. I wouldn't use them all day every day though.
It's the thinking too much that makes us sad. If we could break the negative thought process we would free ourselves of depression, regardless of...
@Lisa Robinson Not personally but it is listed as a common symptom of anxiety. Most common for me is palpitations followed by some level of...
@Lisa Robinson So do you think the Zoloft was helping first time round?
I would not suggest you take anything. There is nothing out there that can truly help, not least of all cortisone. Try to avoid any uncomfortably...
@Lisa Robinson Maybe it's worth trying more meds. It's so difficult to know what to do for the best. Do you know what your doctor wants you to try...
@Robb It is unlikely to have caused any damage though may have given you a short term spike. It should settle within a couple of days.
It is unlikely that you have MS but it is a natural thought for people with GAD (worst case scenario thinking and all that.) In fact I remember...
Best of luck. Keep us informed of how you are progressing.
No, I don't disagree. I'm just saying that there is no need to bring it forward when the date is already the 7th Jan. I think that is sufficiently...
Unfortunately they will be unable to do anything. The tinnitus may reduce in time by itself but a specialist will have no answers. There are...
Keeping busy and staying positive is key. The difficulty comes when you're trying to relax, but it is doable. It's great that you have learned...
@meeruf I know what you mean. Tinnitus can stop us doing many of the things we once took for granted. Just making an hour long car journey can...
This is called fleeting tinnitus. Even "normal" people with no chronic tinnitus experience this. It is nothing to worry about though I know it can...
@xanaxvictim To treat tinnitus? I wouldn't suggest taking medication into your own hands. They won't help unfortunately but may make other matters...
Stick with them for a while. If they have made tinnitus any worse it is like to settle upon discontinuation of the drug. It is common for tinnitus...
It's not common for Zoloft to make tinnitus worse. Not permanently at least though it may cause a flare up for a few weeks before settling back...
@mamag I wouldn't rule out the pain being from noise though. Around October last year I went to a loud concert and it took me around 4 months to...
@mamag Are you sure the pain wasn't caused by the cinema? The sound levels at a cinema can occasionally give me pain and fullness for a few days.
If only our brains were are logical as computer software.
@Kevin1153 Tinnitus will either disappear for no reason or continue. It is an unpredictable beast. Nothing you can do will really help you and...
@adrian_london I don't think so. The fullness feeling is typical in people suffering with tinnitus but I can't see mould being the cause. Having...
I do have some multis but the inositol in them is only a trace amount. I will order some to try a proper dose at some point.
I hope you don't literally mean all the time. You should only ever use them where needed.
@I who love music What does it do exactly?
There is no culprit. Sounds like he has some interesting views but you will be wasting your money trying to cure your soul in the hope of curing...
I have some of those but don't like them too much. Their attenuation is unpredictable. Custom ones are more expensive but are worth it in my view....
No I don't think so. Sadly the pain and fullness are typical in people with tinnitus. I experience it regularly and agree that the pain can be...
@bwspot Not unless there was a physical blockage. Inner ear hair cells cannot regenerate in mammals. Interesting they can in birds and reptiles.
NAC is no miracle cure that will protect your ears. It may help but has never really been proven. There is also no consensus on dosage however it...
@Lisa Robinson It could have just been the initial start-up effects which can sometimes take many months to subside. It's hard to say but it's...
@Lisa Robinson Yes, it could purely be the anxiety and nothing to do with the withdrawal. It's very hard to say. Do you think you gave the Zoloft...
@valeri I've often wondered about this. Did you (or anyone else) ever try it?
I believe so. I have no personal experience but there are posts on here where people say just that. It's not going to make matters permanently...
Despite hundreds of millions of people suffering worldwide, the lack of understanding of mental health is frightening. It's not the doctors' fault...
I had it back in early 2011 and went to the doctors who were completely clueless. There is something called the Epley maneuver which I found very...
Quitting cold turkey can be pretty brutal. It is suggested you come off over a 3 week period which you really should have done. You could...
It’s definitely nothing to do with THC. That is usually only active for a short time and may remain in your system to some degree for a couple of...
@SoulStation Did you notice any positives on the tinnitus front?
@Jimineze That is a very broad question. I think it's for a doctor to look into in a lot more detail. There are a number of medical reasons that...
Well that's calming. @ebony It may go down, it may not. It's just a case of waiting to see. I was exactly the same as you. It came on after a...
It varies but for me it's never been longer than a few seconds.
I thought you were all over the Mary J? There are some that are worth at least trying.
Exactly. I have been to hundreds of loud nights out since T. I used protection and never had an increase. The only thing that did seem to bring on...
They aren't ototoxic. It sounds like they caused a spike in the above case. The advice about steroids is also very questionable.
Forums like this can bring you down quicker than they can pick you up.
@marqualler That's great to hear. There are always going to be good days and bad but as time goes by you will hopefully learn what it takes to...
Cat bites anyone?
@marqualler Tinnitus does seem to "move around". Mine was left ear only for a few years but now effects both equally. Same sound, just in stereo....
@Hottopic29 This is known as fleeting tinnitus. It's nothing to worry about. Everyone gets it, even people who have no chronic tinnitus.
@Asian The effects of an AD will not be realised for a a number of weeks. You should put up with it and see if it helps you long term.
@sandra72 It's probably from the earplugs themselves. I used to get that feeling when I was an earplug regular. Now I don't think I've worn them...
I thought you started on venlafaxine.
@LadyDi I don't think the connection is distinctly between T and floaters, however there is a very solid connection between floaters and anxiety....
@kaycee Don't believe everything you read. Drugs like Remeron are prescribed millions of times a year and the chances of anything bad permanently...
I can only suggest you try other ADs. Some suit people better than others. Surely it's better to try than to give up. I've read many times about...
