How often does Clomipramine (Anafranil) cause tinnitus or hearing loss? Has anyone with pre-existing antidepressant-induced tinnitus tried it? Clomipramine is considered one of the best treatments for OCD. I am almost giving up SSRIs given the events mentioned on my previous post. I read a...

Has anyone here tried Rexulti (Brexpiprazole) as an add-on to their treatment? If so, I would like to read about your experiences and thoughts. About my Luvox experience: I decided to updose Luvox (from 100 mg to 125 mg) again but am now taking the extra dose in the morning. By the 3rd day I...

Does Clomipramine also do that?

I have already been on Pregabalin for more than a year. Is it an option to do a direct switch or would I need to taper Pregabalin anyway?

Can low doses of hydrocortisone cause or worsen tinnitus? An integrative doctor prescribed bioidentical hydrocortisone in low doses (7.5 to 12.5 mg) to help with my fatigue due to low cortisol levels (for example, my afternoon saliva cortisol test was 20 and the standard lower boundary is 50)...

You seem to understand a lot about how antidepressants work. Mind helping me with some doubts? I am on Luvox, which has an affinity of 5,786 on 5-HT2C. I am considering taking Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) to help with benzo and Pregabalin tapering. Searching on Google I found that PEA...

Mind sharing how did you quit Lyrica (Pregabalin)? I am on 200 mg and I have taken Pregabalin for about 2 years to help with benzo withdrawal. What was your tapering scheme and how easy was it?

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with low cortisol during the afternoon and night by an integrative doctor. She prescribed hydrocortisone, in low doses due to my high sensitivity from benzo withdrawal. I don't like the idea about using corticosteroids for months (even if it was 12.5 mg max) but I...

Is there any form of Folate or alternative to it with similar benefits that is tinnitus safe? A functional doctor prescribed me Folate due to other reasons and now I don't know what to do.

Were you taking antidepressants when you took Saffron? I decided to eat fish with Saffron because the spice seems to be stomach friendly and I wanted to try. I already knew it could increase Serotonin but I always avoided the supplement and didn't bother trying a bit in my food. I woke up after...

Anyone here used Sucralfate? I read about it on a book about healing gastritis and I am considering taking it.

I wonder if Finasteride is worth taking while tapering a benzo. Other threads on this scared me. The degree of Male Pattern Baldness I am now facing is making my self-esteem low. Any alternatives to Finasteride?

I updosed Luvox yesterday from 100 mg to 112.5 mg and I am having a tinnitus spike. In your experience, does such a spike go away with time staying on the dose, or is it better to get back to 100 mg as soon as possible? Maybe I should give up on SSRIs.

Anyone ever tried Sucralfate? I read about it on a book about treating gastritis.
