    Trying to stay off coffee which is tough when you love those beans! Anyone has experience with decaf and T? Good? Bad? Meh?

    Are you new? I'm told the first year is the hardest. I still struggle 3 months in but not as bad as the 1st month. Someone just told me a great quote "don't look for the silence, look for the happiness."

    Zopiclone helped me sleep in the beginning of my tinnitus worsening, but now I worry it actually made it even worse :-( Feeling regretful.

    7.5mg mirtazapine here... I wouldn't call it a perfect solution but I'm not sure what is.

    Thanks. I do remember at least one post where someone was stating zolpidem increased their tinnitus. Perhaps I would have an issue at a higher dose, like if I took 10 mg regularly, but I'm trying to keep it minimized to reduce tolerance and so my Dr. will keep authorizing refills. It's helping, but I'm still lacking sleep.

    A side effect of these kind of sleeping drugs is pretty severe anxiety - it doesn't occur in everyone and it can vary how bad it gets to you but it really got to me. When taking Zopiclone, think very short term windows of time. I use it only in the absolute worst emergencies, like if I went 7 days in a row without sleeping or something like that.

    T since 2003, was managing fine (as in not even thinking about having T) and then all changed in January 2023 after new acoustic trauma :-(

    Seek out stories from people who had acoustic trauma and took a few years to recover. Those helped me tremendously. In the worst period I just laid on my side watching videos on mute. I called it "equilibrium" because it was the most bearable time. It was worse than any other health condition I've had because no one understood what I was going through.

    @Keith Handy Thanks a lot for the encouragement. That gives me a bit of hope. How long have you struggled and how are you today?

    Three years and much better. I'll write an official three year update post in a couple weeks.
