    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...

    How Many Got Worse from Slow Tapering off Benzos?

    @Street Spirit I hope your doing well. I was curious to see how your taper went. Im on Xanax 2mg daily and am planning on transitioning to the longer acting Klonopin then tapering down over 2-3 months. Xanax worked for a while on the T and helping the sleep but now it doesnt seem to be doing...

    My Hearing Aids and My Tinnitus Improvement

    I tried a couple different brand of hearing aids. The Widex zen was good but then it seemed like maybe I had them up to high and it was making me thing to much about the T and maybe made it seem worse. I also tried some called Oticon I believe, they were actually amplifiers that were set to...

    What Is Life Worth without Hearing Normally?

    Oh my @Zug Pete Townshend I remember watching that video a few times with Keith Moon packing the kick drum with explosives. Not the best prank to play on your guitar player...then again Keith did a few things that werent to bright. Diving into a swimming pool with no water in it..wrecking a...

    What Is Life Worth without Hearing Normally?

    Everybody's struggle is different. Hearing Loss/ T/ H its all very unfortunate but its hard to compare which is more difficult to deal with. Glynys had a good point about the hearing aids. Have you given them a shot? Sorry if I missed that in the thread. Good Luck!!

    Zoloft???

    Hi. I know this is an older post but just wanted to chime in because I was wondering about Zoloft. I was hoping it would take away some of the anxiety that goes with T and I wished I had not. One pill caused a pretty gnarly spike that has been going on for almost a week now.
