Hey, how are you doing? our tinnitus profiles seem surprisingly similar. Most people mention a couple of tones, but I get several dozen in each ear, and none of them are constant too--they're all rhythmic and melodic ("alien" as you described), like my brain is looping random bits of sound it picked up at some point in life and just keeps playing them back.

I took SSRIs 10 years ago, which led to tremors and some neurological issues. But only a year ago after a concert, antibiotics and some bad luck I developed severe tinnitus. Needing rescue doses of Diazepam once a week hasn't helped long term either.

I cold turkeyed an SSRI. I see a lot of SSRI people have the crazy tones.

Same. I had brain zaps and other brutal stuff after going cold turkey. Now even one antihistamine messes me up for weeks. Only benzos and alcohol make me feel normal.
