Acamprosate (Campral)

Did you notice any change?

 

so far, no. Will let you know how it goes.

 

Dan, did you ultimately take it for 3 months? Was there any impact?

 

Any more updates on use of this drug?

 

I am very curious about Acamprosate because it suppresses the glutamate receptor neurons, which is exactly what happens when you get drunk. My tinnitus DISAPPEARS when I drink copious mount of red wine. As I am drinking to relieve my tinnitus, I am hoping that the glutamate suppression effect from the drug will do the trick for my tinnitus.

 

I used Campral (Acamprosate) for 1 month. No change in tinnitus. My tinnitus is of unknown origin.

 

My consciousness disappears when I drink copious amounts of red wine. This makes every ailment I have disappear! Of course, they all come back when I wake up, along with a hangover...

Anyway, one week into trying Acamprosate and so far no noticeable change. If anything, it has made it subjectively worse. Very disappointing.

 

No change for me after trying Acampsorate.

 

Another study on Acamprosate was conducted a few years ago, with positive results. It seems to work better in those who have had tinnitus for a shorter duration & sensorineural tinnitus, i.e., perceived in the ear/hearing loss-related.

I'm sure some here would benefit. I'm keen to give it a go.

Someone posted this on another thread:

 

I took Campral for a week but developed a terrible rash on my chest and stomach, so I stopped taking it. After I discontinued the medication, the rash went away. It has now been about three months.

I was advised to try Klonopin (Clonazepam) to see if it affects my tinnitus, but I am hesitant to do so.
