Don't use benzos. I am in benzo hell trying to taper. Valium is the one to be on for taper. See Aston Method. My anxiety is off the charts when i...

@Hudson The valium makes the anxiety go very manageable. Do you take something similar ongoing?

All benzos are very hard to control when you have bad T. It's way to easy to seek relief and when you get relief and rely on them you are stuck....

Fluctuation of T is my story too. It's important not to over analyze why. I still drive myself nuts trying to figure it out. I find tracking...

I only wish I didn't check in with my T when it hits. That's the problem with just qualifying it as just tinnitus. There are levels that defy...

Gary, Have you increased dosage over time? How much do u take?
