    Can Ketamine Infusion for Depression Worsen Tinnitus?

    Easier said than done, my friend. I am considering suicide, but what if Ketamine will make me unable to do even that?

    Can Ketamine Infusion for Depression Worsen Tinnitus?

    I have severe depression from having visual snow and tinnitus, and I'm considering either suicide or Ketamine infusions for depression. From what I've read, Ketamine acts on NMDA receptors, thus raising Glutamate in the brain. Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter and possibly (?) can lead...

    I Have Anhedonia from Dealing with Tinnitus

    Like, I want to try SSRI or other antidepressants but they make tinnitus and visual snow worse, see: https://news.ohsu.edu/2017/08/22/study-suggests-serotonin-may-worsen-tinnitus How can I function and cope, if SSRI were my last resort I was hoping on, but they will never help me, because they...

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    I had to encounter a physician like that in the past, i refused and went off home. You have your choice, nobody is forcing any poison they might offer you down your throat. If you blindly do what they say, then you probably live a very miserable obeying life.

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    Nortriptyline also causes tinnitus, as all serotonin enhancing drugs. Your best bet would be to avoid all drugs altogether. Read this https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/life-screwed-by-nortriptyline-not-doing-well.22024/

    My Tinnitus Is OK Now After Dexamethasone

    @Renka what are the geometric patterns you say you have developed as a result of taking dex? please answer, is this visual snow or what? You have to give us the full info, we kindly ask you for this. It would be tragic to go and get dex and end up blind.

    Intratympanic High Dose Dexamethasone / Methylprednisolone

    Thank you a lot. But I feel like the manipulations with the toothbrush might dislocate the wick? Is the wick placed hard enough there to hold for 2 weeks?

    Intratympanic High Dose Dexamethasone / Methylprednisolone

    Intratympanic High Dose Dexamethasone / Methylprednisolone

    But the microwick thing is really a simple invention. It shouldn't fucking cost $100. Can't you buy a piece of cotton and get that kind of tube somewhere? Like really, its real price tag should be somewhere in the $10-$15 range, not fucking $100, that's ridiculous. I'm not gonna bother ordering...

    Intratympanic High Dose Dexamethasone / Methylprednisolone

    And how much did you pay him? Where do you live? I read your other post, Silverstein Microwick doesn't ship outside US, and it costs $100. How much did the operation cost?

    My Tinnitus Is OK Now After Dexamethasone

    Geometric patterns? Does this mean you treated T, but were left with Visual Snow? Dex is really only the last resort probably.

    My Tinnitus Is OK Now After Dexamethasone
