Does this shit ever stop? I mean why have I had tinnitus for such a long time? I got it from a trash antidepressant (Pristiq) that I never wanted to take and stopped after 3 weeks. How does the tinnitus continue 24/7 everyday for almost 2 years? What happened? Is it damage to my hair cells...

Hey man, I'm not sure if this helps but it might since it's only been 2-3 months for you. Apparently the faster you start to retrain your brain to ignore tinnitus, the better the chance of it going away completely is. Guide to conducting tinnitus retraining therapy initial and follow-up...

During the third week of taking Pristiq I got severe tinnitus, and that's when I stopped taking the drug, because it was obvious that it caused it. All I want is to know what happened to my brain that caused the tinnitus. I'm guessing the drug was ototoxic and damaged my auditory system...

I have had two hearing tests done. Apparently I don't have any hearing loss, but the test only goes up to 6000 Hz or 8000 Hz, which is just normal hearing. I know my hearing was way above average since I never listened to loud music, didn't go to concerts and was always grateful for how I could...

Man, does this sound familiar. I was struggling with depression for over 10 years, I never wanted to take an antidepressant and I was always against any synthetic drug because I knew it wouldn't solve my problem in the long term, and not even short term. I got prescribed Pristiq 50 mg by my...

Pristiq caused my tinnitus. It's been two years with the tinnitus hell. I stopped taking Pristiq after 3 weeks and it's clear it caused permanent tinnitus. It seems like you're on year 5 so it means mine will never go away either.

Can you name one mental/neurological condition that was cured or eradicated? Hereditary blindness with gene therapy have solutions but let me tell you something: society is a hell hole, the structure of the capitalistic hierarchy is criminal. People can't get out of poverty, and the idiots that...

Yeah I am almost certain that certain synaptic processes in the major cells in the brainstem were damaged. The structure of the cells do not understand how to process naturally anymore after being overwhelmed and attacked by the antagonistic function of the chemicals in the antidepressants...

@Uklawyer, I'm going to take shrooms in September for a concert and will see how it affects me and will try to post my story to see if it helped. But who knows if I'm going to be around by then.

Pristiq caused my tinnitus. I would never have developed tinnitus if I didn't take Pristiq. My dumb doctor also didn't tell me I shouldn't take 50 mg right away. I hate antidepressants and should have never taken it. Just 3 weeks of taking Pristiq 50 mg gave me permanent severe tinnitus. Please...

Wow tinnitus for 10 years all from taking an antidepressant. Good thing I'm getting my gun tomorrow. I can't wait to bleed out.

I took Pristiq 50 mg for 3 weeks and stopped. Do you think tapering made a difference when my tinnitus started on the second week? I have had tinnitus for 1 year and 3 months now after Pristiq ruined my brain's connections and making them dysfunctional causing tinnitus. I'm guessing that this...

I know what TMJ is and I don't have it. The neurotransmitters are dysfunctional in my brainstem.

I'm a broke loser. I already spend a ton of money on therapy, as I was doing before, but now I have no hope of ever being happy. I hate my life and I hate that doctor who I told I didn't want an SSRI (who cares if it was an SNRI). You would think maybe if the doctor wasn't so mindless, they...

Can you seem to locate the exact position of your tinnitus? Like what part of the brain does it seem to come from? I notice when I push my tongue to the roof of my mouth or position my jaw oddly to flex my muscles around my brainstem, I hear the tinnitus get louder and more clear. My tinnitus...
