Thanks. I need to get some rest and Trazodone isn't cutting it so maybe I'll look into those.

I think the cure for most tinnitus lies in GABA / glutamate system.

Someone could at least come up with a high tech masker that actually works....

Unfortunately my journey with benzodiazepines was a disaster. While my T was mostly dormant there was severe damage to my central nervous system. I've been tapering off Valium for almost 500 days and am barely able to walk due to the damage to my neuromuscular system. Benzo tolerance and...

Reactive tinnitus...sound reactive...kindling...wind up...whatever it's called. Escalates as the day wears on and unleashes at 3AM bolting me out of a Trazodone and Visteril sleep. Whatever I'm trying to use for ambient gets amplified 10 times...humidifier, streaming sounds on Bose Soundock...

I have MyNoise I think I need something directly pumping into the ear.

Thanks...doing natural sleep stuff. I guess what I really need is a masker or sound generator that works...any ideas? In the interim that is...

Hi everyone, Excuse the length. I've been suffering with tinnitus for 3 years and I think the cause was a single dose of Wellbutrin in Oct 2012. Anyhow, we bombed it with psych meds and a well intentioned psychiatrist put me on Xanax in Apr 2014, I developed severe tolerance and got very sick...

I started recently with the SoundCure Serenade and am working with an audiologist, the side effects are so overwhelming from Valium withdrawal that I haven't been very consistent with the device, my biggest challenge has been finding a nighttime solution.

It all began 3 years ago today. I had been using Ambien intermittently for several years and was having some huge stressors at work. The Ambien stopped working and my insomnia peaked. I raised my hand for help with my local GP and he Rxd Wellbutrin. Why he chose to give a stressed out...

What is the best way to treat or manage this?

My tinnitus seems to ramp up when I try to get into a noise rich environment. This is true particularly on those days when it is very bothersome. It's almost less annoying in a quite room than when trying to mask it with other sounds. Any insight into this?

I know this is probably a dumb question but I've read through the book that describes TRT and the use of sound generators, etc. Can someone list some options? At this point I really don't care what it costs. Nightstand sound machines are a joke for me as are iPhone apps. I need somthing that...

What kind of device are you using?

I am in severe tolerance withdrawal from benzos prescribed for tinnitus. I can relate.
