Thank you for the encouragement @MindOverMatter and @Scruffiey .. ears are still very exacerbated. They were somewhat heightened before this just due to life and a travel a little over a month ago, but notably spiked in all ways this week and it aligned with this supplement. Hoping it doesn’t...

I just wanted to share this because I had no idea, and I really hope it settles down after only taking the supplement for 4 days. It’s crazy how much it exacerbated my auditory symptoms.

There are two mentions on here that Locorice root tea or the extract have exacerbated tinnitus. After doing some searching, it states "Licorice root can potentially exacerbate tinnitus because it can interfere with fluid balance in the body due to its mineralocorticoid-like effects, which can...

Clonazepam did not provide any better or more relief to my tinnitus or reactivity, so after 3 1/2 weeks of trying it, I switched back to Ativan with no issues. Still .5mg in AM and .5mg in PM.

@Nick47 I’m so sorry, the variability is maddening and would drive the most mentally stable person crazy. Give your ears some time from those ear plugs, first time I did that it took like 6-7 months. This time seems quicker but my job is so stressful and kicking my butt, which kicks up my T.

@yeezysqueezy I’m aware there are two very strong sides about benzos, but when meds like that allow those with epilepsy or T like mine function and you’ve tried MANY other avenues, it’s what I’ve got and I stayed disciplined with it.

@yeezysqueezy only this summer with major spike from deep ear plugs and a travel did my psych and I decide to switch to Klonopin to try it and he said with me leaving my job beginning of January and looking to wean off while I’m not working, it is easier to wean from something with longer half life.

@yeezysqueezy hey thank you for your comment. I was on low dose Ativan daily for two years since onset and not only did it save me mentally but it, along with other things, allowed me to generally function again and go back to work full time in a school last March and do things I hadn’t done in...

@Cmspgran it wouldn’t be every time, but even during my spike I would notice an hour after taking it most days me saying “well at least it took the high frequency down some” which is honestly huge for me. I don’t find myself saying the same thing with the Clonazepam at this point. And I did not...
