    Hello Here for Anyone I Can Help x

    Congrats #Cher69. This is so nice to come back to TT and see success stories from when we were struggling. You gave me some good advice, thank you for that. I've been doing well for a while and will probably write my success story too. Be well, Patty.

    Saw them live in Central Park in my teens. It was great! Lost my friends, got dark, walked over to an NYPD officer for help who gave me a ride home in his patrol car. Nice guy.

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

    This is very interesting. I am basically doing the reverse of what you are doing. I'm tapering Trazadone first, and next is Remeron. You tapered Remeron first, now you're tapering Trazadone. I am going very slowly, I'm 9 months into my taper. The reason being, I don't want to hit a wall on...

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

    I'm down to 25 Trazadone from 75. I noticed that once I got to 25 the mood swings stopped. I am still taking 7.5 Remeron. How was that withdrawal? I hear that's harder to taper. Any T changes with tapering?

    Hi Michael. I am currently tapering Trazadone very slowly. If you don't mind, can you tell me what your withdrawal symptoms are like?

    How I Confronted Tinnitus and Won!

    Congrats on your success story. After I while I said to myself that I had better stop being anxious and sad about it. I thought maybe if I embraced it, I could deal with it. So, I tried listening to it...every tone, every sound. I did this for a while, I even said "hello T when I listened to...

    Shake Gave Me Days of Silence

    The taste of the apple cider vinegar was not that great but I mixed it with water to make it drinkable. The black strap molasses was not too bad. I also diluted it with water. Both have a lot of health benefits.

    Feeling Better But Still Not There

    Hi Jonathon. Give it a little more time. I got used to the sound and I don't find it necessary to mask when I nap. At night I still put the TV on the lowest volume because I got used to it, not because I need it. Just a habit now. You mentioned that your T is mild and you sleep well. That's...

    Shake Gave Me Days of Silence

    I took fish oil, 1 T of black strap molasses, and 1 T of organic apple cider vinegar for about 2 weeks straight. I did it because I had a bit of a health scare (the big C, it turned out to be nothing). I had read online that this combo shrinks tumors. My T went completely away for three days. I...

    Advice on Flying

    I recommend noise cancelling headphones. They work wonders to keep everything super quiet. You don't hear the jet engines at all. I used them last year and will be using them again in a couple of weeks. I won't fly without them. Also, chew gum on taking off and landing.

    What's Worse... Getting Teeth Pulled Out or the Dental Drill?

    Hi there, I didn't have dental implants but I did have a couple of route canals and a deep cavity filled. The dentist drill seemed very loud due to the bone conduction. I have some mild h so I was concerned. No worries though, I did not have any increase in the t or h. I used headphones with...

    Does Sleeping Position Affect Your Tinnitus?

    I have T in my left ear. When I first got it there was no way I was going to sleep on my left side as the T sounded much louder. It took some time but I was able to then sleep on my left side even with the increased sound . I never did it because I've always slept on my right side. Fast forward...
