    Magic Mushrooms Making Tinnitus Worse?

    I agree. It has already calmed down some since I had a nap. I really liked the microdose effect. It’s like seeing the world in 4K and do not feel high. Pending my tinnitus goes back to baseline, I plan on doing .5g twice a week for one month and then taking a month off to evaluate. Also felt...

    Magic Mushrooms Making Tinnitus Worse?

    Hey everyone, I also took a microdose (.5g which is a little high for a microdose but I am also on low dose SSRI and Benzo which dampen the effects of shrooms) and have a spike but my spike is very similar to that of stress and/or caffeine. So I am thinking 1 of 2 things or a combination...

    Anyone with Tinnitus Here DJ/Mix Vinyl at Home?

    Hi, further to my guitar post, I have always been very interested in DJing/mixing vinyl (70s, 80s, 90s soul, funk, hip-hop, r&b). I am not talking about doing crazy club gigs but just an at-home setup. Anyone out there who mixes music or spins vinyl with tinnitus? If so, what ear plugs do you...

    Taking Up Acoustic Guitar a Bad Idea When You Have Tinnitus?

    Well, it's been a while. My tinnitus waxes and wanes. Since upping my antidepressant in the last month, I have noticed a big improvement in my tinnitus, so for me, tinnitus is largely triggered by anxiety and stress. It is still there in the background but seemingly much quieter or perhaps I...

    Thanks for the info! The only others I have been told about for BP2 are Seroquel (risk for developing Diabetes) and Latuda (can raise BP), among other things.

    Epilim (Sodium Valproate)

    NOTE: Much like the majority of anti-seizure drugs, Sodium Valproate may reduce tinnitus for some people but actually cause tinnitus for some others. Tinnitus is actually listed as a rare side effect of Sodium Valproate.

    I have grown my hair out since I have had tinnitus but I want to go back to my bald skin fade now that spring and summer are coming in a couple months. Should I be worried about the buzzing of clippers near my ears? Should I wear ear plugs? I don’t care how stupid I will look, I am past...

    Tinnitus Improvements BEFORE Hyperacusis Improvements?

    My H has improved since my concussion. If only the T would follow suit. When I get really stressed out, my H will come back in little spikes but will then thankfully regress again (knock on wood). This has given me some hope re: T and other ongoing post concussion symptoms.

    Baclofen for Tinnitus?

    I have been on Baclofen since Sep. 2018. I was then assaulted in early December 2018 and ended up staying on Baclofen for my neck (whiplash/concussion). So what was to be a couple months for back spasms has turned into a year and a half of high dose Baclofen 60mg - 100mg daily (was only on...
