Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

I feel ya!! I took amitriptyline for 3 months and I am sure it contributed to my T increase (also headphones and chronic manic stress). Alls we can is keep plodding along the best way we can

I run through these scenarios in my head all the time. I hope I don't say the wrong thing here. Best I came up with is that we did what we thought was best for us at the time because we were suffering. I look at the person that made that decision and try to forgive them (me) because they had good intentions. We were trying to help ourselves.

@4Grace I think they same thing over and over. I forgive myself for being an idiot and not thinking straight at the time. But I'm still left with the mistake made and it's a loud one.

It's a loud one. Lol - well better to laugh then cry. I know. I have seen a few people for the suffering. All the words they tell me make so much sense. I have learned a lot. At the end I always say …… but if just wasn't for this noise I would be 100 percent back.

strawberryblonde. I had a medical scare. I got over it mentally. Then could not sleep for 5 months. Went insane. I came out of that …. how …. God only knows. I tried many meds. No sleep. Mirt finally made me sleep. I think the onset of T made me forget of all my other problems. I remember the moment. I could not sit … I was asking what the hell is that noise in my ear, it won't go away,

Now that I think back. It was 100 x less than today. Could not even hear it all day and I went crazy. I always think to myself … all considered, everything that happened to me.. I'm still not that bad off .. all considered … but I am…. Lol …

I consider myself an unfortunate statistic. Someone has to be the 1%. I toiled over taking them and thought I need to be better...

I hear you @Tryn2BHopeful . I like that you got to "it doesn't matter now" took me a long time to get there. I got stuck on "It would have been great if the pills worked."

@Tryn2BHopeful I have met soooooo many people who got it like we did and are years in but happy! I let go of putting a timeline on when it will go away. It's easier to mentally accept it being there for good and if it goes away in time even better. My biggest issue is the pain that comes and goes. This is a hard one to manage.

@Tryn2BHopeful We were just trying to help ourselves and it backfired on us and many others. There will come a day when this is considered normal and we continue on.... that's if it doesn't fade in time.
