My tinnitus got bad after SSRI withdrawal and benzo wd. Do you think I should take b1? Will it
Matter?
BB23
nothing will fix it.
b6 will def. worsen it.
i dont know about b1. It's been a long time ago since i did research on these. Don't remember much.
but if you ask me, i'd say dont take anything at all.

Hello everyone 👋 I'm back with an update. My T is still there and spikes have become less and less. I am living life more normally despite this noise..it's still annoying most days but I'm pushing through. Reactivity is wayyyyy down but still there....nothing like it was though. Hyperacusis is about 95% gone. I'm just reaching 2 years into this.

On Monday February 24, I had a visit at the dentist where they used a high speed rotationary tool to cut a teeth in half to extract it. The tinnitus got more noticeable today.

I am a little better despite it all. You have not been on the benzos for long. That is really good I think! I hope you'll get better!
vilebubbles
That's great. Did you stay on clon or taper it?

Feel like the first person to ever have a positive ENT trip... didn't change matters, but he agreed with my self-diagnosis, told me to protect as much as possible and was honest that an MRI would be too noisy and probably not find much that would change matters.
Plus I got to look up my nose just for fun.

Exactly 4 months ago I woke up wishing it was a nightmare. The last month has really sucked. I definitely very often have the feeling that absolutely nothing has improved. It's this malignant certainty that it will stay like this for the rest of my life. When I use earplugs, it still throws me into a depressive phase because all I hear is the ringing. I want silence back so much.

Why is T so fricken variable?... one day its ok, the next is pure hell. Ugh... what did we do to deserve this?!

I hear you, and I know your right. However its just hard to feel that way. I was so close to getting over the hump... and I screwed up. I am tired, stressed and I just don't know how to find my way back again. I need to stop blaming myself and move forward, easier said than done. As always I appreciate your comments.

I know the feeling @Tryn2BHopeful I came out from a long lasting spike recently. It took about 2 months to normalize again. But once I was to take a step back and shift my focus again, I started afirming to myself that I'll be okay. I've been here so many times before, and I've done it before.

The storm you are in at the moment won't last you forever. You will rise again. Keep your head up mate - you'll get there. One day at a time.

hey kdmg do you have tinnitus alongside with nox h? and do you have visual snow thx

Have had very bad T and pain H for about 14 years now, it still sucks and robbed me of things I used to be able to do and enjoy. Typing this with raging T and pain. It only ends in my dreams. Waking up feels like a bomb went off in my head every morning.

Had no "spike" after doing all that work on the car yesterday but today its a little bit elevated (more hissy). Think i have been abit stressed under the night and tensed myself. Will see how it goes.

Yes. It so hard to be trying to live your life and not get tinnitus get in your way or just stop doing everything becuase of the tinnitus. its a very hard life to navigate in. My main issue is that always freak out over these thing that it "might have been to loud" then i get nervous and stressed out.
MindOverMatter
It is difficult to navigate through, no doubt about that. The "might have" and "what ifs" is pure fuel for this condition. They are like reminders for the brain. Reminding about the trauma many of us had after getting this, or getting worse at one point. Therefore I think positive affirmations is an important tool to use to navigate life with this, and not give the fear too much space.

@MindOverMatter Exactly those thoughts it's just feeding this condition, the key is to not even let it get that power. Don't let it have any bit of it and stand your ground. It's definitely so much easier said than done though.

Any car mechanics in the group? I hade to change wheelbearing in my old car and i was force to use alot of "hammering" to get it out. I was wearing both Earplugs 35 DB AND Peltor 35 DB. Just looking for some reasurance because it was abit uncomfortable when there was metal on metal hit. I also manage to drop a giant ironbar when i remove the earmuffts (still earplugs in tho thank god........
ZFire
You're good. You took great precaution (double protection) beforehand
Sodlin
@ZFire The thing i dont understand is that i got in from the garage and the tinnitus actually felt more silent then normal and i had no earfullness after that event. The day after i woke up (after being very worried earlier after what ive done) to a bit more "hissy" tone. and today after 2 days of worrying its very "hissy" in my ears. It must be a spike from worrying or am i wrong?
vilebubbles
How are you doing?
Juliane
Sorry for my late response. I am not always checking in here. I am atm not too good. Stomach issues in addition to T makes life hard. How are you doing?
