...(a single tone) with volume fluctuations and hyperacusis throughout the day. I developed both of these after a fast taper off Klonopin (Clonazepam). In January and February, I started to feel a bit better and thought I was on the path to recovery. Unfortunately, about 10 days ago, a second...

...for three years. Doctors were running out of tests and explanations, so I decided, based on what I had read in the Ashton Manual, that Clonazepam might be the cause. I had been taking it for seven years at varying doses. At the time of my decision to stop, I was on 0.5 mg daily. I tapered...

I took 0.5 mg of Clonazepam from November 2022 to March 2023. I came off it too fast and quickly developed appalling tinnitus. My doctor advised me to reinstate the Clonazepam and come off it more slowly. This seemed to work at first - after six weeks the tinnitus was right down and I started...

...some low-dose Remeron (Mirtazapine), which has worked like a charm for me - I sleep great now. She also threw in a prescription for Clonazepam, for occasional use. I tried it on a loud day -- it really did little to knock down the volume of my tinnitus; not really worth the risk of taking it...

I had crippling tinnitus and was hospitalized for 14 days about 3 years ago. The doctors gave me Oxcarbazepine, Clonazepam and Olanzapine. I believe the last two are responsible for bringing the noise down to a level that I do not require hearing aids with a masker. Essentially these drugs saved...

did you developed tolerance to clonazepam

Hello are you still on clonazepam since you live in Gent have you talked with Dirk De Ridder about long term clonazepam usage for tinnitus , dysacusis ? thank you

@Nick47, do you still take Clonazepam once or twice a week?

I was given Clonazepam to treat myoclonus of the inner ear muscle, which had been caused by long-term stress. After a few weeks, I found another medication that successfully stopped the myoclonus. I should have discontinued the Clonazepam at that point, but I was advised to continue taking it...

Can you elaborate a bit? Clonazepam isn’t helpful anymore? How often do you take it, and what was your dosage? How long have you been on it, and how old are you? I need your answers.

hows your tinnitus after clonazepam why did you stop after 7 months it stopped working?

@Luman, did the withdrawal make your tinnitus worse in any way? What dosage were you taking, and what was your tapering schedule like?

how long you have been taking clonazepam

...anxiety attack while on vacation. After barely being able to get on a plane home, I saw my doctor as soon as I could. I was prescribed Clonazepam for anxiety and Trazodone to help me sleep. From the first dose of Trazodone, my ears were ringing. But, since I had been an antidepressants...

@Eloy79, I see that your profile mentions the cause of your tinnitus as ototoxicity. Could you share which medication caused it? Apart from Clonazepam and Gabapentin, have you tried any other medications, such as antidepressants? If so, I would love to hear about your experiences.

Why did you stop taking Clonazepam?

Just bumping this to say that I am now about nine months off Gabapentin. I have also reduced my Clonazepam by 50 percent, from 2 mg to 1 mg, and if my tinnitus is acting any differently, I am not consciously aware of it. I am still unsure whether I will completely discontinue Clonazepam or not...

He is taking 1 mg of Clonazepam daily and is doing okay.

Dear Members, My doctor didn't support a gradual weaning off of Clonazepam: 0.5 mg am/pm. I stopped this medication abruptly, and during terrible withdrawal, I developed tinnitus, 24/7. I can oftentimes drown it out with background noise, but silence & sleep time, trying to sleep/go back to...

I live in the UK. My ENT doctor prescribed me Clonazepam in 2011. I still take it when my tinnitus is severe. If your tinnitus is severe and you are having difficulty managing it, then talk to your ENT consultant. Clonazepam shouldn't be taken too often as it will lose its effectiveness in...

I’ve never tried Clonazepam before. I’ll check if it’s available in Laos and give it a try. Valium is easy to find here, which is why I went with that. Thanks for the tip, @Nick47!

What are your Clonazepam and Gabapentin dosages? Thanks!

I would be curious to hear if it is still working since the last time you posted. Did your tinnitus sounds also decrease? I think you are on to something with it being an overactive DCN or VCN. Do you think it would be possible to take natural supplements that increase GABA and achieve the same...

I am sorry to hear this. Which was the medication that helped you with MEM?

You got nox from clonazepam? or any other damage megatron

What kind of withdrawal symptoms did you have, please?

you still on clonazepam?

How long have you been using Clonazepam?

Thanks! I managed to suppress it with medication. The combination of Morphine and Clonazepam likely helped me sleep—it knocked me out for seven hours. I took half a Morphine tablet (2.5 mg), 1 mg of Clonazepam, and 75 mg of Quetiapine.

how old are you how long you take clonazepam?

Clonazepam is effective for approximately two-thirds of tinnitus patients.

This has been my exact experience with Clonazepam and distortions/reactive tinnitus as well. I believe your theory is true, and something that reinforces this is the fact that my reactive tinnitus can randomly switch ears over days or weeks. Some elements of the distortions behave the same way...

Thanks for the update. Do you believe that any of the other things you have done, such as practicing mindfulness or continuing with daily life, have contributed to not being consciously aware of it?

I had very mild tinnitus in one ear before taking Clonazepam for an unrelated issue. I took 0.5 mg once a day for about four months, then came off it too quickly. That led to severe tinnitus in my right ear. My doctor suggested going back on Clonazepam and tapering off more slowly, but that...

Is Clonazepam commonly ototoxic or is it just with a small % of users? Also, is ototoxicity reversible?

My tinnitus is in my brain. I have so many issues caused by just one poisonous medication. I wish I could take Clonazepam long term — it is the only thing that keeps me alive.

Clonazepam quiets tinnitus: a randomised crossover study with Ginkgo biloba Abstract Objective To assess the effect of Ginkgo biloba and clonazepam, a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-receptor agonist, upon tinnitus. Methods This was an open-label, randomised, crossover study. 27 men and 11 women...

I'm on 0.75mg Clonazepam I try to taper down slowly

Clonazepam only has an effect on me at 0.5 mg. At 0.25 mg, nothing. No, I do not take anything else.

Weirdly enough, I was prescribed Clonazepam for tinnitus and dysacusis in October 2023. The dysacusis disappeared by about 95%. I had additional noises like echoes, whooshing sounds, metallic tones added to sounds like church bells, clapping (even on TV), cars passing by, running water, the...

You can still get Clonazepam if you find the right neurologist. Of course, it may take consulting with several doctors before one prescribes Clonazepam specifically for tinnitus.

I have been taking clonazepam (rivotril) for a week now, and before that I have been using it occasionally on and off for a couple of weeks. I take one 0.5 mg pill before I go to bed, the ENT at the hospital said I can take it up to one month without any problems and without the need to taper...

Basically, as @Nes summarized, this is correct: Clonazepam, Amitriptyline, Ginkgo Biloba, and TRT are more effective together than the three medications without TRT. However, the medications were still effective when used in combination without TRT.

Good luck! Clonazepam does nothing for my tinnitus either.

...to taper down but went too fast, and all the distortions came back. Unfortunately, my central nervous system couldn’t handle it, so I increased the dosage again. How long did you take Clonazepam before it stopped working? According to Dr. De Ridder, it should work for dysacusis for a lifetime…

...of palatal myoclonus because of Amoxicillin (within an hour of taking it). So now, the twitching is still here, and I have been prescribed Clonazepam. I hope it helps. Has anyone tried Clonazepam for myoclonus? I'm not sure how well it works for stapedial/middle ear myoclonus. Thank you...

I am thinking to use clonazepam same way you do but i am only 29 years old. My tinnitus, visual snow came after methylprednisolone intravenous which damaged my ears and brain it seems very odd reaction. Saturday is my off day where i usually go out meet my gf is it okay to take wednesday and...

If your tinnitus is very severe, you can try it. There’s nothing wrong with giving it a shot. Besides Clonazepam, I also take Gabapentin, and it works well for me. Keep an eye on neuroinflammation, follow an anti-migraine diet, and prioritize deep sleep. I wouldn’t rule out sound therapies...

I managed to obtain the PDF. The pharmacological treatment includes Amitriptyline, Clonazepam, and Ginkgo Biloba. I only skimmed through the text, but the aim and conclusion of the article are to demonstrate that pharmacological treatments alone are less effective than a combination of...

clonazepam made it worse for you? how long you took mate and how old are you let me know. i have generalized panic disorder ocd.

Interesting because it seems to be used for the treatment of epilepsy as well. Maybe this is a natural Clonazepam. 😉 I ordered it from hommi.jp.

...when I decided to stop. However, seven or eight years later, when tinnitus began affecting me in 2017, I started taking small doses of Clonazepam several times per week for four months. After discontinuing Clonazepam, I experienced severe withdrawal symptoms that lasted for over a year. In...

Since 2010. I only take it when the tinnitus is severe. If Clonazepam is taken too often, one can build up a resilience to it. Fortunately, this hasn't happened to me. I wish you well, Michael

@Nick47, how easy is it to get Clonazepam and Gabapentin prescribed as a new patient in the UK?
