Buspirone HCI

Has anyone ever used Buspirone HCI to treat Tinnitus. Good or Bad Effects. Trying to get some information on it.

 

I haven't personally I do know buspar does have tinnitus as a side effect but so does every anti-depressant and benzo medication.

 

I have read that also. Went to the Va. A lady Doctor said try it for a month but I don't think i will.I think it would just compound the problem.

 

Back in the beginning of my T nearly 5 months ago, I too was resistant to taking any meds, so I didn't take any. I was highly distressed and anxious about my T. Now looking back I think, for me, it would have been better if I did, at least in the beginning few weeks. I think it would have made things a easier to handle. When T first hits you out of the blue, it can really do a number on you and your psyche. I didn't have all the tools to cope at that time and it made the first 2 months very, very rough. A little help is ok when you need it....under dr supervision of course.

 

Anyone have any updates on this medication?I was prescribed this and afraid it will make my tinnitus louder.

 

My understanding is that it does nothing for anxiety. Basically a worthless drug so I wouldn't bother.

 

I'm using 15 mg twice a day. Some days it helps more than others. As for tinnitus I really can't say.
