I had a really bad t week, I was exposed to kind of loud noises and I started this week to take Trobalt again, I took 200 mg in the morning and 200mg before sleep(last night I took 300 mg). I noticed that my t is more tonal than in the...

    I Need Help with These Thoughts! Does It Get Worse as We Get Older?

    I don't think it's ok to wear protection in those places, I guess no one does because you can get H which is horrible. What do you think about this?

    @Karl28 , in the prospect says in the first week you should take 100mg 3 times/day.

    Overprotection can lead to H from what I heard which is a hell too...right? In what situations you were and you did not protect yourself?

I have it too, when I wake up after a good sleep and when I am not stressed my t it's softer, a hiss but after I eat something or I go out and I hear the cars, or I am in the mall where music it's loud my t will go crazy, very loud, I can...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    Last night I got so annoyed about my tinnitus and about the fact that trobalt(my last hope) doesn't work, so I took 400mg as a single dose. 30 minutes later I felt very sedated, I tried to listen to my t, I plugged my ears and I could hear only one sound and I felt like it comes from the center...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    Trust me it was a long journey until I got it, I had to wait 1 month for it. A friend from Spain brought it to me. I will consider myself lucky if I will see some benefit from it. I try so be patient but in the same time I am anxious and sad.

I am sad that I don't see any benefit, today I took 100 mg 3 times/day, last night I...

    Hello! I hope someone who tried Trobalt is online now. I started taking Trobalt last night, I took 200 mg last night and today 100 mg in the morning and 100 mg in the afternoon. I am 21 years old. I am dissapointed, no change at all in my t, sometimes it's even louder or more annoying. It is...
