    Brintellix, Trintellix (Vortioxetine)

    I was wondering the same thing. I guess nobody has any experience with this one. Did you try it? My doctor suggested I research it since all SSRI seem to throw my ring ding through the roof.

    Is Hyperacusis Psychological?

    Temp. Maybe 5-6 hours. But it can be maintained with more oil and I think it builds up in your system.

    Is Hyperacusis Psychological?

    Thats a good question. I was reading a post like 8 miles long and never found out. A bunch of people were talking about trying it but never saw the results or if they ever did. Im going to track that post down and see. I know that it has helped my H.

    Is Hyperacusis Psychological?

    Whoa looks terrifying. I guess you get to a point and people will try anything for some relief. I hope they have some success with the procedures. I read the article posted by @Cheza that poor guy having to watch life through a window. I have had days where I would actually consider giving my...

    Is Hyperacusis Psychological?

    I dont cringe or get a spike when I hear something loud. Just not as sensitive to noise. Which is a blessing considering my own voice annoys me sometimes. I noticed you are in Orlando. There is a meet up group for t peep somewhere over there. Never been and I can't remember where it is but I...

    Is Hyperacusis Psychological?

    It is legal. Basically hemp oil without the THC. Its being used for a myriad of conditions from epilepsy to ms and everything in between. Not cheap but I can't put a price on my sanity. Its available in many health food stores to smoke shops and online. If you do a search for it there are a...

    Is Hyperacusis Psychological?

    Hypercusis ugh. This is such a battle. The little crinkle of potatoe chip bags gets me now or like the squeezing of a water bottle, or a piece of silverware dropping in the sink.... Just ridiculous. I had an idiot on the road the other day drive by me, I had my window down for a little...

    Who's Stuck on Benzos?

    @Cal18 How are things going with you? Im another one on the benzo train. 1mg of klonipin. Dont think its doing much just helping me sleep. Thinking of checking out the 5htp just to help my mood but it seems like anything that effects seratonin sends my t through the roof. Hope your hanging in...

    How Loud Is Your Job?

    I work for a renovator. There are power tools involved. For a while I figured as long as I protected my ears with these great ear muffs I would be fine. What I have learned though is though I am protected my ears from further noise damage, I am isolating my brain from outside noise. What...

    What Earplugs Should I Use?

    Hey Im used to the foam ones but I know what you mean. Its hard to understand people at a normal volume. My suggestion would be to call a couple of music stores (the kind that sell instruments) and ask them for earplugs that have a diaphragm in them that do let in some noise but filter out the...

    5-HTP for Tinnitus & Hyperacusis?

    I tried this stuff. I was about a week in and then noticed a spike. It seems like anything I do affects my serotonin and causes a spike. Anybody else experienced that with this 5-HTP?

    Can Earplugs Make Tinnitus Worse or Just Seem Worse?

    Hey, for me earplugs can make it worse. Im pretty sure its because it is starving the brain of any outside sound at all. When the brain isnt getting any stimulus it tries to make up its own.

    I Need Someone Who Has Taken a Benzo (Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, Ativan, etc.) Long Term to Help Me

    I have been on 2mg of Xanax for 2 years. Im ready to taper down because it just quit working and I dont want to increase the dose. Plus I have read that taking benzos can hinder any kind of habituation. Im switching to klonopin just to taper off because my doc says it will be smoother due to...
