Tinnitus Talk Support Forum
Usually if it's a withdrawal symptom, it should eventually go away, as we see with benzo withdrawal. But in the case of benzos, the withdrawal symptoms can last months to years.
@kingsfan oh my, I wish this to be true. I'm 8 months in tomorrow.
@Tryn2BHopeful did your tinnitus start on Lexapro or after you stopped Lexapro?
I believe I got tinnitus partially due to withdraw for Benzo's. I did not realize you had to cut back gradually. Nobody told me that …. When coming off of any benzo or AD come off very slowly
Mirt only has 15 mg tablets. I had a compounding pharmacy make me 13, 11, 9 and so on …. Hope you are doing okay.
A Google search on coming off any AD will confirm. If you come off very slow it allows your body to adapt and you should be okay.
I too always go to bed hoping it is gone or better I the am. Once a few months ago it went away for 4 hours. I cried tears of joy for 6 hours. Honest. Then it came back with a vengeance.
I cannot tell you how many hours I spent sitting in church on my own talking to God. That's what I did for the first few months. Then the T got worse to the point that sitting there became a problem. 
@SarahMLFlemmer It's the same as taking a medication. It's because the medication changes your brain chemistry, while taking it and stopping it. The brain kinda goes crazy like throwing water on a computer. Your Neurons start to blink together in sync with each other making the Tinnitus noise instead of blinking one by one that's when you hear silence.
@kingsfan is correct. I've seen people gain silence after 3 years, 4 years. Which is why hope is great to have but not obsess about. Im teaching myself to not fight with the noise and accept it. Take away the fear it gives me and if it stops one day great and if not then happiness can be achieved with practice and time.
@SarahMLFlemmer My answers come from working within Neurology and also the University of Michigan. I hope it helps. I actually have a small video explaining how it works it you're interested in watching it for 5 mins. I obviously don't know all the answers but try to explain what I do know.
@Mo8409 send it!
@Mo8409 I just wish there was a simple answer to how to get it to stop.
I always wondered about that too... if it changes the brain chemistry and that's what causes the tinnitus, it sounds reversible to me... Because if the brain chemistry falls "back into place" all should be fine again, no? What would make it irreversible?
