Drugs for Tinnitus — Update on Those Having Tinnitus for One Year or More

[Greg Sacramento]

Let's do a drug update on those having tinnitus for one year or more. A drug where their tinnitus was lowered by 25%.

I know that there's many threads on drug treatment, so just asking:

• The name of a drug that lowered your tinnitus by 25% or more
  
  
• Side effects
  
  
• Please state if your tinnitus is moderate or severe
  
  
• Also before taking the drug was your tinnitus high pitched, a buzz or whatever?

Clonazepam .5mg worked best for me followed by Xanax .25mg. Clonazepam is much longer lasting where Xanax wears off in 4 to 6 hours. Both give me terrible anxiety and depression for days and days after stopping but as long as I take them they work.

I think my tinnitus is moderate to severe and has been matched to 4Khz and sounds a lot like white noise, a pretty steady hiss
