    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    nope. i would say it did help me significantly with hyperacusis and habituation.

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    i think that the people that got VS from RTG should open a communication line with each other not just for support but to somehow figure out what is common between your cases. perhaps there was a uniquely similar provenance of the RTG (a bad batch/manufacturer)? i would like to know how...

    Tinnitus, TMJ, Headaches, Neck Pain, Facial Pain, etc. — Possible Treatment

    hi everyone, i've been keeping tabs on this thread for some time now but haven't posted. i posted extensively in the retigabine thread a few years back, and after 3 years with tinnitus have finally pinned down my issues as being neuromuscular. i have tmj, and excessive tension on the left side...

    which nerve is he referring to? i'm guessing its the vagus nerve.

    Intermittent Fasting for Tinnitus Relief

    hang in there bud. there is a chance it goes away completely, but i guarantee you that your situation will get better. since you have intermittent t, you should look into tmj / neuomuscular etiologies. i am on keto in my 3rd year of t, and i think it helps - the diet is neuroprotective and...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    its so hard to assess this very subjective phenomenon, particularly given the passage of time. given how great a part of the suffering was caused by the hyperacusis, the alleviation of that particular symptom itself (due to RTG) greatly reduced my 'level of t'. in terms of the loudness of the...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    hi all, i have not been on the forum for awhile, just wanted to check in. as some of you may know i was one of the first trail-ees of the drug, well documented in this thread. as an update, i am doing fine with my t. i have had no long-term issues with RTG, and it has been 2 years since i...

    Ketogenic Diet

    ive been on the ketogenic diet for the last 4 months. i can't say if it helps or not for t (probably a little), but it definitely has eliminated my moodiness and mood swings. the insulin rise and fall can be an emotional rollercoaster, so i am happy to avoid that - it's just a steady dose of...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    i'd suggest trying some from a different source just to make sure. this drug is pretty intense, i don't see how any nervous system can escape from feeling something.

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    3 weeks. 300mg tid to 400mg tid was marginal improvements experientially, but i was pretty drugged so who knows. but 200mg tid to 300mg tid was a huge difference.

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    leon, i just read your user experience. is it possible you have an unreliable batch of pills? some have noted differences in pills they got online vs from a pharmacy. it seems very odd that you would feel nothing at 350mg tid.

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    i didn't feel anything until 300mg TID. a 200 mg pill did nothing for me. i think you should wait till you get to a 300mg TID or 350mg TID to draw any conclusions. good luck.

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    In Tzounopolous' recent HCN paper there is a section addressing the limitations of this model. I don't think the conclusion is that the model is not useful. My opinion is that the 0063 compound didn't work because most people's tinnitus is not centered around their cochlea (a relatively passive...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    400mg at one time is the optimal therapeutic dose for a short course. i stayed on that for three weeks, some people have stayed for less or more. waaaaaay back in the beginning of this thread you can find a detailed post i made regarding effective dosage (with graphs and charts). you can go...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    insufferable. not a single person on this thread has been playing doctor. everyone is simply providing their opinions, and on a good day some evidence as well. you are tilting at windmills, you might want to get off your high horse.
