Meclizine (Postafen, Bonine) Helped a Guy to Cure Tinnitus

Hi,

Bonine on Amazon.com

I've just found this post on Swedish forum here:
http://forum.studio.se/index.php/topic/93942-snart-kan-vi-bota-tinnitus/ (in Swedish)
where a guy posted a post and I will try to find these pills.

I have problems with tinnitus, the most on the left ear. And it certainly has arisen given that I do and play all the music in the headphones. Having just arrived home after a stay abroad, and since I'm both afraid of flying, and easily carsick I was recommended postafen 25mg motion sickness tablets. And when I ate them disappeared the beeping sound and it really has not come back yet. I will contact the company behind postafen on Monday and talk about this.

Postafen contains meclozine that suppresses the inner ear functions, and it seems to be just that which removes beep rustling sound. This is a prescription at the pharmacy.​

 

Looked on WEBMD.com no such drug, called something different in North America?
You will keep us posted?
Thanks
Danny

 

I had no results when searching antihistimines in the search feature, although I read somewhere online that they can be effective.

Does anyone know of any available (brand name) drugs that would be comparable in the US?

 

Heard of Dramamine, I'll have to look up other drugs you listed....reallly hesitant to get into RX drugs..at this point anyone heard of the possibility of a deviated septum causing or enabling Tinnitus? Mayo Clinic report...I may be reaching a bit...really lousy day..

 

Curve Ball from left field..not making it up...Mayo Clinic report... those with deviated septums likely to have Tinnitus..caught me off guard as well...When we first get tinnitus we read and read etc.. ran into that posted statement..

 

In Swedish pharmacy this is the pills: http://www.apotea.se/postafen-25-mg-tablett-10-st
This is not prescription drug, it can be bought without the prescription =)

Well in 2 weeks I'm flying to Thailand so this will be definitely tried then.

 

Any luck with this? I might try it myself. Will pick it up from Apoteket.

 

Hiya Danny ,deviated septum? mmm Thing is how did you get that deviated septum .As for me broke nose badly playing sport needed corrective operation ,on the nose and the consequent deviated septum.A week after the break my T kicked in.If you google Sphenoid bone ,that is at the back of the nose in the skull if that moves off kilter that could be the cause of the Tinnitus.So Is the deviated symptom just a clue of what is going on???

Good luck,Pete

 

Hello Pete
Broke nose in one punch fight, I stopped the guys fist with my face...but its been 37 years since that break and tho my nose was never set correctly and drips from time to time its never really bothered me looking like the elephant man....it's just in my journeys of looking for the miracle cure for tinnitus I happened to read the mayo clinics report on T and it struck me as odd? That Id not seen that possible sympton on any of the other million things that we've all covered before when we became part of the Tinnitus club...Is the deviated sympton just a clue of whats going on?.....Not according to Jasterboff and Hazell...
Thanks
Danny

 

let us know how it goes! thanks

 

Anyone tried this yet ?

 

I'm very curious as well. @Niko, let us know how it's working for you.

 

Tried it last night. There was no magic.

 

anyone else?

 

Hello!

I read this a few days ago and decided to give it a shot, though my hopes weren't very high. Turns out it actually worked for me! My tinnitus has diminished to such levels it does not annoy me anymore. I'm not even always entirely sure it's still there, and I try not to listen, but I think I still have a little left. Even drinking alcohol today did not aggravate my tinnitus.

I'm so happy, this year has sucked. I got tinnitus at a rock concert in December and have been anxious, angry, and annoyed by the sound since. It wasn't extremely loud, but loud enough. Majority in the left ear, but some in the right ear too.

The noise was constantly there, sleeping was the only escape. It was such a disturbance to my thoughts, and nobody seems to really comprehend what it is like unless they also have it.

I have continued taking these pills in fear it might return. One per day and sometimes another one for the night so I wake up medicated. The box says the effect spans 12 hours. I read about them to see if they're safe to use this way and it seems they are. I have taken 6 of them over 4 days. I don't think I actually need them anymore, but I don't feel like taking that risk right now.

Now, I have been known to freak out about these things and possibly create them in my mind, so whatever the actual cause of my tinnitus was is unknown. I do know I experienced obnoxious noise and that I'm not at this time.

If you want to try this and can't get it anywhere, I can absolutely assist with that.

 

My T started in January because of woodworking for long periods without a break. I have been anxious, angry, and annoyed also because of T

I know how you feel about people not understanding the disturbance it causes. They say” I know somebody with T and they say it doesn’t really bother them”. I wish they could experience what we do for a short time so they could understand. I would never wish T on someone though.

 

That's fab! how much for a box? I have found websites on the internet but are in other languages, willing to give this a try, could you assist me? Although I would have to wait until the end of the month.

Also can you keep us updated on your progress? Try not taking it for a day and see what happens. I am very glad it has improved your condition mate!

 

Just found this, they are selling in UK.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001V9FK2C/

That's the same chemical right? Biit priiicey, but if you really do recommend it?

Also what type of tinnitus do you have, reasonably high frequency? Do you experience dizzy spells? Is it pulsatile or steady? I would like to see if I can match my sound to yours as I think mine was due to loud exposure also like you.

 

65 SEK for a box of 10 pills. Approximately 10 USD or 6 GBP.

Yes, I will keep you updated.

Today I did not take anything and it was gone all day. Took a half just minutes ago though, before I read your post. I seem to have a little noise still, but I'm not entirely sure it's any more than I've had all my life or if it's from something in my room. My fridge makes a noise that feels like it's around that frequency. I'm slightly anxious about it coming back, but I only feel like that short moments so far.

Thank you!

That is the same, but you probably don't need 1000 pills. Unless of course the effect is not permanent.

It was high frequency. Unforunately I never managed to find a specific frequency or even a range. I found it difficult and I currently don't own any headphones. No dizziness ever. Steady (tonal?), but it did seem to vary a bit at times. I'll try to come up with better explanations.

I can mail you a box right away. If okay with you it's easiest if I simply send the blister pack in an envelope. I could of course flatten the box and include it that way! Money can wait until you have it. Shipping and envelope should not be much. Say 10 GBP grand total?

 

Sure do that, this is very kind of you, I will private message you my address now.

 

Wow, that's very promising. @Deep, let us know what it does for you!

 

of course.

 

Is it in any way possible you could send me these Postafen tablets as well ? I realise you probably cant supply everyone on the board but if its possible , I would love to try this .

Thanks.

 

I will add vitamin b complex when I do it, works pretty much in the same way as niacin

 

So you going to give it a try too Markku!?
