    1/4 How brave you are for slowing down. For not finishing that to-do list. How courageous you are for not crossing that finish line because

    When I was young I had a feeling nothing really bad could ever happen to me. Perhaps a belief in God? Now I feel cursed by dark forces.

    Have you managed to get any sleep?
    Juliane
    @SilverFox I managed to get some hours of coherent sleep this night, which is all I am hoping for. Thanks for asking.

    Have you been able to sleep some? I think we are in the same boat as we both prefer staying away from sleeping medication. If it continues to be bad, I might have to take a pill but as you I really prefer not to. But sleep deprivation makes T so much worse.
    SilverFox
    @Juliane Thank you. I slept for about two hours. Previously it was somewhat better on most nights, but this week my T changed somehow and is even more bothersome.
    Juliane
    @SilverFox So sorry! I think I got 2 hours max this night as well. Still working today but feel I am about to go mad.
    Juliane
    HELP!!!!!

    @Juliane my God we are all in the same place. I hear your cry for help. All I can say is you ARE NOT alone. You are such a kind person. I am sending a virtual hug.

    One day at a time. One breath at a time. One step at a time.
    Juliane
    @4Grace Thank you so much. You are too kind.
    Juliane
    This is no way to live. I wanted to try and get through without sleeping pills, but not sleeping is making me severely suicidal
    MadeleineHope
    What natural supplements have you tried so far? Maybe I can suggest something
    Juliane
    Thank you, you are so kind. Magnesium and chamomile only

    Scared I messed up my GABA regulation by zopiclone use in spring and drinks during summer... All is lost

    @Juliane Have you taken any of your zoplicone (is that the right med?)? If it helps your tinnitus, it might be good for you to take a little break and decompress.
    RunningMan
    @Juliane I have not noticed any effect on my T based on zolpidem, CBD, THC, or anything I've consumed ( haven't had alcohol). It just seems to have its own variable cycle for sounds, although exercise ramps it up for a while.
    Juliane
    @kingsfan Actually no. I am trying to power through without meds as I am scared of messing up my GABA further. Which means I'm not sleeping..

    2/2 Could my recent alcohol induced spike therefore be compared to a "benzo withdrawal" spike?
    Juliane
    1/2 I'm reading on Benzo Buddies that zopiclone works in a similar manner to benzos and, incidentally, alcohol does as well.
    Juliane
    2/2 what you got till it's gone. Why is that? I have so many regrets

    As they say, hindsight is 20/20. But there is no use dwelling on the past as you can't change it. There's no use obsessing over the future as you can't predict it. That just leaves trying to live in the present the best way we can.

    Things I used to think were a big deal seem much more trivial now. Its all relative to you at the time. Dont be so hard on yourself.

    1/2 Before my worsening, in spite of being deaf in one ear, I had a beautiful life. But I was always in a hurry, being impatient. Don't know
    SarahMLFlemmer
    Same. ;( I totally understand this. And now I'm sucked into my phone looking for a way out. Wasting precious time.
    Juliane
    Looking into booking a place in quiet village via Airbnb but then comes nxt problem: what if the smoking alarm should go off?? Paranoid

    I've been staying at multiple hotels in the past two weeks and this also made me uncomfortable. Always kept earmuffs and plugs within reach and had no issues.
    Juliane
    And not searching for a cure and wasting money on uselessness will hopefully destress the nervous system a bit. Here is hoping.
    Juliane
    Acupuncture, massage, b12 injections, therapy - nothing produces any results whatsoever. I am done searching for a cure. This is my fate.

    2/3 I can see clearly how obsessed I was with non issues before this nightmare when I should have been more interested in the suffering of
    Juliane
    1/3 I am not ever going to say that something good has come out of tinnitus but I do feel other people's pain more these days.
    Juliane
    Major spike hasn't gone down one bit since Saturday. Scared, panicking, losing hope. Why did my life end like this?

    Could also be poor sleep for days prior and then the alcohol was the tipping point.
    jimvee
    I haven't had an alcohol induced spike myself, but from what I've read from others it will go down again. Hang on in there, stay strong!
    cyberspace
    did this spike subside?
    Juliane
    Haven't taken a zopiclone pill in 2 months. If I take one tonight to help sleep and then stop again immediately, will that be risky?

    I do remember reading @SilverFox had some bad experiences with the Z sleeping pills...
    kingsfan
    @Juliane well taking it once in a while is def better than taking it every day. If you had no problem with it before you should be fine with it.

    I take gabapentin on and off with no problems. It's also a gaba antagonist

    Agree with @kingsfan , infrequent usage probably won't do much to alter your GABA/glutamate profile.

    Frequent usage however. will likely modify a person's GABA/Glutamate balance more significantly.
    Juliane
    Guys and girls, I need your advice please: I haven't slept for days due to alcohol induced spike. Is it safe for me to take a zopiclone?
    Juliane
    Can I really be spiking so horribly even 3 days after drinking some wine? There is no other culprit I can think of. If yes, is it GABA?

    Juliane
    Thank you so much @kingsfan ! Here is hoping. Hope your spike will settle too!
    SilverFox
    Reading this made me realize that the reason for sudden very loud tinnitus I woke up to yesternight might have been some wine I had that evening. I didn't sleep that night, but after two days it seems to have gone down to almost previous level. So, if it was wine, it can go back down.
    Juliane
    @SilverFox Sorry you had a spike too, but good that it calmed down for you. I guess for most of us wine and beer is part of life and also provides some relaxation, so will be hard to completely cut out. But sucks if spikes are involved.
    Juliane
    I have lost all respect for so called doctors. They mock people like us and sometimes even damage us beyond repair. So useless
    MadeleineHope
    Also, sleep deprivation can really make things a lot worse (as though they aren't bad enough already, right?). Have you tried taking any natural remedies to help?
    MadeleineHope
    2/2 I know you're worried about taking a break from work because you recently started, but maybe that would help give you some breathing space? Allow you to focus on your health & healing?

    Sending so much ❤️
    Juliane
    I am definitely considering that now. Sending a lot of ❤️ back at ya!
    MadeleineHope
    1/2 Hey, I'm not really on much today since I'm having a really hard time but I just saw this & wanted you to know that I care & that you're not alone. I can definitely relate strongly to how you feel & so wish I could take our pain away, & everyone else's here.
    Juliane
    I know you are having a really hard time and I very much appreciate you taking the time to comfort me during your own struggle. Means the world to me. ❤️ Big hug
