      I going back to Inositol. It's in GNC's 'Solotron' multivitamin. Years ago I was arguing with someone about the Atkins diet being drastic and possibly dangerous, but in the Atkins book I was skimming there was mention of "Inositol" supplementaion being recommended because of course restricting carbs will make you jittery to say the least.

      Although I wasn't an Atkins fan, I sought out Inositol. Almost immediately (about 3 days) I sure could feel a difference taking the Solotron multi vit. Most multi vits don't contain Inositol. It's such a nice, normal feeling. Very calming. Well, a few years ago I quit taking them. Duh.

      I ordered some tonight and I fully expect my tinnitus will show improvement. I'll let you know in a few weeks.

      @valeri I've often wondered about this. Did you (or anyone else) ever try it?

      I tried it for a short time but no change to tinnitus or anxiety.
      Maybe it needs to be taken for longer.

      I used to feel constantly edgy and nervy I guess you could say. Not now. I take the GNC Solotron Multi Vitamin that contains Inositol and I don't feel that edgy feeling. Other multivitamins do contain Inositol but not usually. Just check the label.
      I don't know how it works. I think it's a trace carb or B vitamin or something. I found out about it years ago in some book.

      I do have some multis but the inositol in them is only a trace amount. I will order some to try a proper dose at some point.

      Hi everyone,

      Has anyone here tried Inositol and did it help your tinnitus? I understand that it is more of a supplement...looking for an alternative to benzo use....would appreciate any advice

      Can inositol be taken long term? Does it stop working after a while?

      I've tried Inositol for insomnia a number of times. It seems to be most effective if you take it after waking up. Never did much for my tinnitus.

      To be honest, I didn't take it long enough to have any sort of effect. It didn't worsen my tinnitus though.

      Does anyone here take Inositol who is currently also on an antidepressant and whose tinnitus was originally induced by an antidepressant?

      I am over the fence about trying Inositol as I am taking Luvox and I am almost sure that Sertraline caused my tinnitus.

      Reading the Inositol updates here with surprise. I take 1000 mg every morning on an empty stomach because it chelates iron in the stomach and works as a metabolic disease preventative. To me, it's inert otherwise; does not impact my digestion, nerves, or tinnitus.

      I hope this thread gets more interactions.

      Thanks for sharing your experience. Are you under any antidepressant?

      No antidepressant medications here. I have read that some people use Inositol as a sweetener, so my assumption is that they find it inert, also.
