    Yep, not even max but from pagan death metal.

    Using Minoxidil / Rogaine for Hair Loss — Impact on Tinnitus?

    I don't think so as I was not even focused on that it was just when I started noticing that my tinnitus is not so high as usual. This thread should not be in the alternative treatment as Minoxidil is a hard drug comparable to things in treatments thread and nowhere along the lines of massage...

    Using Minoxidil / Rogaine for Hair Loss — Impact on Tinnitus?

    I have tried Minoxidil for hair growth and I noticed my tinnitus got quieter, after a while I researched about it and found it is a potassium channel modulator like other stuff that is tested for tinnitus treatment. I recommend people to try it out and use 1ml-2ml a day rubbing in their face...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    I don't think it is "edging closer" to anything. Sideeffects should go down over time that is the rule. I am pretty sure that things will get better because the body produces antibodies specifically in target parts of it where sideeffects appear. I think we should all give our support to him and...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    From statistics. Just google it. They might get upset less but their pain and quality of life goes down the same and they do not have the positive emotional reinforcement that other people get from being hopeful, optimistic and supported by their family and friends. You might see special...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    You see, even if there would be certain evidence that sure cure would come in a year... your tinnitus could become 2 times worse, or 3 times, or 10 times... it could get to the point where you cannot take it for 1 second more. Tinnitus is almost universally well handled, we on this forum are...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    It is nice to hear that @Mpt is now without tinnitus but how can we be sure that it is entirely due to retigabine and that he is an example of average person here. It does not seem that anybody else who has tried retigabine has had such an excellent reaction to the drug. On the other side of...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    @Zimichael I am doing alright, but that is primarily because I am now on dexamethasone, it seems that it reduces my tinnitus most effectively and it also reduces a pain in a part of my face just above a tooth root so that might be connected as less face pain less tinnitus both react on...

    Earplugs Making Tinnitus Worse?

    I bought earplugs so that I can go to events a bit louder than I would like, like moves etc. These earplugs are from a pharmacy and really fill up the ear, when I put them the only thing (almost) that I can hear is tinnitus. That is why I never used them for more than 5 minutes. It is unbearable...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    Yes, here it is: a few users tried it so far, one had great results, 2 had worsening and other 5-6 had significant improvements, the sideeffects were mostly bearable except for the 2 who got worsening of tinnitus. So far the effect of retigabine is quite random so the discussion is about how and...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    I am not sure because I thought that my issue was with the 50mg being a bad sort or corrupted as everyone else except me and now you have had positive experiences. It is weird that me and you do not have a no-effect case but direct worsening.
