A Friend's Tinnitus Has Gone Away

Hello everyone! We all have hope! Hope is great , right?!
So I have a friend who lives in Mexico and she lived with Tinnitus FOREVER until! She seen a dr about 1 year ago and prescribed something called Citerezena(i) it was primarily for her allergies w/ ( hope) her T would GO away! And it did

 

How long did she use it for before this occured?

 

If you mean citrizine then i have just taken that pill a couple of hours back for my cold, sneezing and allergies. It doesn't affect my T whatsoever. I have had taken that pill a lot before but no it doesn't help with my tinnitus. every T is different ofcourse so who knows
PS i took citrizine 10 mg along with paracetamol 300 mg. Any idea what dose your friend took ? Can you ask her that ? And for what duration she took citrizine ?

 

It's possible her T would have resolved without taking any meds.

It just so happened she took the med around the same time. Who knows.

 

Please ask your friend for dose and duration.. thanks

 

This is a nonsense story, i took citierzine whatever against allergies. It is first generation anti histamin and can even cause or worsen T.

 

It goes without saying: It, in many cases, can be impossible to tell what causes tinnitus, what makes it softer or louder, and what makes it vanish. The taking of citierzine and the vanishing of T may be a coincidence. It also may be temporary. Everyone is different and there is no certain way to know.

Having said that: I thank @Claudia for sharing this story. Just don't asume the results would be the same for you.

 

@Claudia I hope you let your friend know just how lucky they are I'm really happy for them, just tell them to protect their ears from now on because they know the hell that awaits them if they don't!!

 

Alec! Yes I know! Thank you for the positive feed back! I hope it stays away! I have it and I have my days!!

 

@lady D. I'm not assuming it's gonna WORK for me. Let's be a little more OPTIMISTIC I'm simply sharing this for anyone who wants to try it! I'm desperate. And willing to give anything a shot!

 

She is so very lucky. I am so happy to hear that your friend has had nothing short of a miracle occur.

 

I'm sorry for YOU nay Sayers! But it worked for HER! Tinnitus is diffrent for EVERYONE! Try it whomever wants to. You won't know until you take the risk
I for one have tried EVERYTHING!
And I'm willing to try this! I'm very sorry if it did NOT work for you
What doesn't work for ,you may or may not work for others

 

@Asian I'll ask her tonight I'm on california SF area so time zone is diffrent. But I'll post!

 

Thank you Shea! A blessing!

 

It's not really a miracle... tinnitus goes away for most people as far as I can tell.

The disparity in treatment between the west and east is interesting; Indian ENTs, apparently, never tell people to expect this to be a chronic condition.

 

Hey @Claudia. What about ypu and your friend? Does she still enjoy freedom?

 

Claudia, how long did she have T for? Any hyperacusis?
Thank you

 

That is very, very odd...I mean, there's no real science behind this? No KV channel, no gaba levels, no serotonin levels. Nothing...Still, glad it's worked for her and I wish her well.

 

many of the antihistamines exert serotonin action, actually. In fact, SSRIs were developed specifically to try to mimic the serotonin action of the first-generation antihistamines without mimicking the anticholergenic effects. That's where "selective" came from....

 

Hm, this is a second-generation antihistamine though and is non-drowsy, so is limited for the nervous system. I don't understand how this particular one is meant to treat tinnitus, but what can you do?

 

All I could find was this "In the cortex, activation of H1 receptors leads to inhibition of cell membrane potassium channels. This depolarizes the neurons and increases the resistance of the neuronal cell membrane, bringing the cell closer to its firing threshold and increasing the excitatory voltage produced by a given excitatory current. H1 receptor antagonists, or antihistamines, produce drowsiness because they oppose this action, reducing neuronal excitation.[4]"

"Second-generation H1-antihistamines are newer drugs that are much more selective for peripheral H1 receptors as opposed to the central nervous system H1 receptors and cholinergic receptors. This selectivity significantly reduces the occurrence of adverse drug reactions, such as sedation, while still providing effective relief of allergic conditions. The reason for their peripheral selectivity is that most of these compounds are zwitterionic at physiological pH (around pH 7.4). As such, they are very polar, meaning that they do not cross the blood–brain barrierand act mainly outside the central nervous system."

You're right that it may not apply to the newer antihistamines. However, allergies cause inflammation, which can be a cause of tinnitus...

 

Quite true. I'm just glad she doesn't suffer anymore. I just wish the same could be true for the rest of us.

 

Anti histamine will reduce the inflammation in your sinussen, which means less fluid , and therefore less pressure on the nerves. Whether it will help you or not depends on the cuase of your T.

PT might be cuased by allergies/overactive imuunsyteem.

 

Yeah, personnally i always had bad allergies at the beginning of the summer, helped by meds, and no effects on T. So if the authors's friend has been cured with anti allergies meds it's probably that T was not linked with hearing dammage.
