      This is a drug that is only supposed to be taken 2-3 weeks at the most.
      The comedown from this drug is supposedly worse then heroine ...
      It will cause cognative problems and in some cases T .

      Dont want to freak anyone out but ...yeah , not advisable or worth it in my opinion.

      I have no intention to try clonazepam. I'm just trying to see if their improvements are seemingly due to the clonazepam and not the l carnosine.

      @Rube hey i have been taking clono for long alright but..within few days of taking L-Carnosine...curing process accelerated...natural healing/habituation...was well on its course...this just helped its move faster...thats all i am saying....@RazaH...i am taking 0.125mg of Clonozepam( Rivotril)...as far as i know...any drug/medicine can be ototoxic/addictive/bad side effects if taken any heavier dosage.....i know few people taking such medicines( though for different reasons) for alomost 2 odd decades without any problems.

      I believe it was meds and stress
      I personally believe that benzos will be hell to come off of with chronic T/H.
      What are you gonna do instead? How will you sleep? I don't even want to think about this scenario.

      I did find something that gave me a little relief. A Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc combination capsule.
      It relaxed me during the spike time. My spike time has come full circle. Spike time is when the sleeping meds wares off. Late afternoon early evening. I admit this awful circumstance.

      Well, what's the verdict? I am thinking about trying this but was hoping to see if anyone else has had any recent positive results.

      Will give you my experience. Note that my GP's suggest my symptoms/tinnitus is related to either Epstein Barr Virus or some kind of Lyme disease and I'm quite certain my T is not to do with hearing/ear damage. My tinnitus is in one ear and quite high pitched, some days it would be quite piercing and I have a wooshing sound when laying down.

      Started taking 3x 500mg caps twice a day (NOW Foods brand):

      14 July 2015: First day taking the caps, no change.

      15 July 2015: I felt like my T was slightly less bothersome, could definitely hear it but just didn't annoy me as usual, really odd and hard to describe.

      16 July 2015: I felt like the volume of the T had gone down, again just felt less bothersome but didn't really know for sure or if I was imagining things/placebo effectg.

      18 July 2015: I can hardly hear the T in the left ear. Even when I cover my ears I hardly hear the ringing if at all... Very strange. I still get the wooshing sounds when I lay down but the ringing has almost faded.

      So not sure what to make from this, but something has certainly happened since taking this stuff. I don't know if its even safe or if the T will stay quiet long term, but I honestly feel that the L-Carnosine has had some effect. It may not work for everyone, heck it might not even work for me in the long term but this is my progress to date.

      I don't think so. I have not had days where the T has been this quiet. It has gotten objectively quieter for me since taking the Carnosine.

      Again I don't know if this is a long term solution, and I still have some kind of tinnitus and ear noises, but there has been a reaction to taking the carnosine.

      Update: Haven't taken the carnosine for about 2 days as I've not been home, it seems the tinnitus has gotten louder. Still quieter than original volume but definitely can hear the T in the left ear.

      I will start taking the carnosine again when I'm home and see how I go. If someone can brief me on the safeness of this stuff, that would be good :D
