Gabapentin made my tinnitus much worse after only one dose so I stopped. I tried increasing Flunarizine but did not see much difference. I also tried to increase Pregabaline but higher doses makes you very very tired during the day. Now I am in the process of trying to swap Pregabaline for...

I have no idea.

Hello, Glad to hear your story. Can you tell us a bit more about how you are managing your tinnitus & hyperacusis these days? How could I make my tinnitus & hyperacusis to play a less important role in my life?

With moderate and stable tinnitus it is easier to meditate and find peace. Since having severe intrusive, reactive tinnitus, it has been impossible to find peace for me. I just do not have the mind to focus on mindful activities like reading etc. I have been trying to use medication and...

Just curious, what is your tinnitus like?
