Cortisol is a steroid released by the brain in response to stress, thus it is dubbed the "stress hormone". Obviously, stress stemming from cortisol release seeks to make tinnitus louder. Tinnitus stresses you which elevates cortisol levels. Continuous stress is bad in the long term and, from what I've been told, can lead to issues like heart problems as well a s shrinking of the hippocampus.
The brain is never your friend in the case of tinnitus so doing things to promote its health in neural restoration seems silly. Someone recommended exercise to increase neuroplasticity. A silly suggestion since the excitation of exercise only serves to make tinnitus louder as well as the fact that plasticity created tinnitus to begin with. My goal is to hurt the brain's ability to compensate for acoustical loss/trauma, not help it. My hope is one day we can be able to fire a gun right next to the near, kill hundreds of cilia, but deny the brain the ability to change the auditory cortex and thus stopping tinnitus.
So my question here is what drugs are there that an antagonize cortisol. My brain feels its critical to keep me alert and on my toes so I can quickly resolve problems it dislikes and be alert for danger. I want to suppress this stress so I am calm and inattentive. The brain remains distressed but is deprived of the ability to do anything.
