Hi everyone,

I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone could share their experience with a severe increase in tinnitus during a withdrawal reaction to medication. I'm experiencing a change in my tinnitus that is severe, and I mean totally unmaskable, audible anywhere, severe, since lowering the dose of my long-term corticosteroids. I've been on high doses since 2018 for an autoimmune issue.

I don't believe this is inflammation returning, because I'm also experiencing many other symptoms similar to those people report when withdrawing from benzodiazepines or SSRIs, and this has been going on for many months.

Any hope or personal anecdotes would be appreciated. Despite having had tinnitus for 14 years, this is truly at an unfathomable level, and I just don't know how to move forward.
