    The Regimen of Gabapentin + Lorazepam (Ativan) + Lipoflavonoid Helps My Tinnitus

    There's a thread about Carbamazepine that you might find helpful. Some people report benefits from using it, while others don't. A few members here take it in combination with Clonazepam, though it's worth noting that it can cause negative side effects for some individuals.

During this period, I had taken 0.5 mg of Clonazepam a few times, perhaps three or four times, which significantly reduced my tinnitus for around 5-6 hours. However, at the end of February, I began...

    1 mg Clonazepam is pretty potent in itself, even more so alongside Ambien. It should work in the short term, but taking those benzos regularly always is a concern. I have Lorazepam 0.5 mg prescription for anxiety and don't take every day. It's about half potency of Clonazepam per mg.

    Intermittent Tinnitus and Taking Clonazepam to Prevent a Loud Tinnitus Day?

    There is no real pattern. I take 2-3 mg Diazepam several days a week, and low dose Gabapentin (300-600 mg) every day. I use Clonazepam twice a week to once a week, however usually with Gabapentin and Deanxit.

What do you do with clonazepam, is it 0.25mg or higher if you can sense a tough day? Adjust doses to the need kind of thing?

    Low-Dose Clonazepam Withdrawal

    Hi everyone. Long time reading this helpful forum but first post. I was prescribed with Clonazepam (Rivotril) 0'25 mg three times/day, 2 weeks ago due to my anxiety problems and mild tinnitus mainly. It seems it doesn't lower my tinnitus level. So, after reading other posts, could be better to...

    I never stopped Rivotril. You should not stop it if you take Deanxit. Rivotril counters an annoying side effect of Deanxit (Parkinson spasms).

    I Developed Noise-Induced Tinnitus After a Festival Despite Using Hearing Protection

    I take 0.5 mg of Rivotril (Clonazepam). I’ve tried going without it, but that doesn’t work for me. The tinnitus isn’t very loud, but I have mild dysacusis at certain frequencies, along with TTTS. However, after 14 months, I’m slowly habituating to it all. I live a normal life and protect my ears...

    Intermittent Tinnitus and Taking Clonazepam to Prevent a Loud Tinnitus Day?

    Clonazepam is effective for me, and I have never experienced any sudden increase in my tinnitus. If you fall asleep and your hissing starts, it's easy to blame the medication since it might seem louder. Mirtazapine works well for me; it's my preferred medication with a dosage of 2-3 mg along...

    Can Drug-Induced Tinnitus Get Better? Mine Started After Clonazepam and Amitriptyline

    Friends, I got tinnitus from a combination of Clonazepam and Amitriptyline. First, when I stopped Clonazepam, I got tinnitus that was somewhat bearable. Then, when I stopped Amitriptyline, it got three weeks after the last dose so so much worse. It's been now 6 months and the tinnitus is still...

    Do you think there are risks in taking Deanxit alone without Clonazepam? I also got it prescribed by Dr. De Ridder but I am a bit scared about the drug given the number of countries that have decided not to market it. What do you think helps you the most between the two?

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    Hi all, Clonazepam is basically a sedative, which is why I was told to take it in the evening. My job requires a very high degree of mental acuity, and as I get older, age takes its toll. Back in 1992, I was literally getting zero sleep. It was ridiculous—you can’t function without sleep. I...

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    I’m currently on Clonazepam 0.5 mg, and my plan is to taper it slowly: first to 0.375 mg, then 0.25 mg, and finally to 0.125 mg. I hope to do this over about two weeks.

    Ativan (Lorazepam) Is Saving Me Right Now (It Makes My Tinnitus 80-90% Better), and Tapering It Scares Me

    @ChrisZ, It’s good to hear you’ve found some relief. GABA acts as a brake and can help disrupt the tinnitus signals. Medications like clonazepam, alprazolam, and oxazepam can also have this effect, though diazepam doesn’t seem to work as well. As you mentioned, there can be issues with these...
