Tinnitus: Choosing Patient Pathways (Dirk De Ridder)

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting reads, though I understand only a fraction. You gotta also love the use of comic sans font amongst the academic folks...

 

Which drugs with which mechanisms can
influence tinnitus ?
Ion Channels (Na, K, Ca): Lidocaine (70%), gabapentine & pregabaline (+/-)
GABA: Alprazolam (+) 65%, Clonazepam (+) 32%
Glutamate (NMDA):acamprosate (+), flupirtine (-), memantine (-), neramexane (+)

Serotonine: Nortriptyline(+), Amitriptyline(+), Paroxetine(+/-), Sertraline (+), Trimipramine (-)
Noradrenaline: ?
Dopamine: Sulpiride (+)
Acetylcoline: ?
Melatonin: ?


Are these the drugs they say can treat tinnitus or are they the ones that can cause/ exasperate them?

 

Not sure about the rest of them but clonazepam can cause someone to get T through withdrawing coldturkey from.. Other wise if you use it it while having T it can help alot. It lowers my T to like nothing. Just dont cut cold turkey you have to ween yourself off when you feel its time to come off of it. I cut cold turkey two years ago not knowing about T and didnt get it from that got it from noise exposure but everyones different.
