Yeah, it's a very weird thing this ailment of ours. Right now, as I type this, mine is quite bad but I haven't taken Clonazepam since last night which may explain it. In particular I've had tinnitus all my life (more so the ringing kind, and it was very quiet for most of my life so I never...

So I took Clonazepam by itself for over a year when I first got tinnitus as it helped reduce my tinnitus volume and helped me sleep. Tapered with no problems really. Recently had a hyperacusis setback and to try to get my ears to calm down I took 1 mg Clonazepam. I’ve been taking Melatonin for...

What's going on? Are you ok? You are going to get through this phase. Idk if it's allowed for me to advocate taking meds but I just read research is leaning towards Klonopin (clonazepam) it makes people sleepy but friend has clinical anxiety & he takes it, it helps.

I used to only take it on weekends and Wednesdays. I managed that for quite a while, now I take it every other day, sometimes every day if I’m feeling crummy enough.

Oh man. I feel for you. While completely understanding that everyone's nightmare is different and by most accounts I read mine was "mild" (you know, in the way that a dumptruck backing over your head is mild compared to, say, a mountain falling on it), I can say that I had a taste of it. It has...

Clonazepam made my tinnitus way worse. it has improved slightly after being off the drug for twelve months but I am nowhere near healed. Please stay away from this drug, it is only recommended for short term use.

It is a low dose. Given Lorazepam has a short half life, you may be better taking Clonazepam, which lasts much longer, so you could take once a day?

...are the only other person I have found who describes a noise moving all over your head. When I first got tinnitus after a short course of Clonazepam and Trazodone, it was like that. Top of the skull, right temple, left temple, base of the skull, etc., just moving all over. The worst was the...

...take it at night so it is hard to tell. If I take a slightly larger dose, I can feel it the next day and I seem less bothered by it. I believe that there is a physician who advocates for a combination of Gabapentin and Clonazepam. The hyperacusis is the condition that causes more issues for me.

Keep in mind that Clonazepam (and Deanxit) is the standard combo given by Brai3n institute in Belgium for tinnitus. Based on this research: Administration of the combination clonazepam-Deanxit as treatment for tinnitus

...for about a week if I take a normal dosing for one or two days. Once it stopped working, I never tried upping the dose. I did once with Clonazepam but it did no longer work either. It could also be the age of the Clonazepam in storage now. But the Zopiclone is fresh. Typical doses do jack...

80% calm today after stopping Grandaxin & only had .5mg Clonazepam last nite. My symptoms matched Akathisia. Another layer of hell anyone?

If you talk to your GP, they might prescribe Clonazepam (15 tablets, 0.5 mg each). However, it's important to note that Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine, which carries significant risks. A slightly less risky, though still cautionary, option is Nortriptyline, which your GP can also prescribe. It's...

They can’t do a breathalyzer for benzos lol. You serious?

Not sure what Clonidine is for. How are you finding Dr. De Ridder's cocktail?

...out there. SSRIs may not change anything, they just sometimes can. It's all trial and error and something Dr. De Ridder said (who I am sceptical of) when I had a consultation with him. To save you the €85 fee, he usually starts off with: Deanxit Clonazepam 0.5 mg Aripiprazole 2 mg +/- 5mg LDN

Did you respond badly to the Clonazepam from the beginning, or once you started tapering? Did it stop working for you at some point? That's confusing.

...tinnitus which is extremely variable in intensity, so no two days are the same, which can make concentration difficult and that I also take Clonazepam when it is severe. I received a letter from the jury clerk, saying on this occasion I have been excused from attending jury service. Michael

...able to somewhat function again. Appreciate your knowledge always as another user has mentioned the long acting effect of Diazepam over Clonazepam. It was indeed much stronger than I cared for as well. I have Grandaxin that will be delivered tomorrow so I will follow up on that as it’s not...

...was bad enough. If 300 mg isn’t strong enough, it’s better to add something else to the mix, like Mirtazapine, Lyrica, Tegretol, or Clonazepam. I take all of the above, and my usual Seroquel dose is 50 mg. I do struggle with weight gain, though. This condition really is hell. Lately, I’ve...

I know it's a long shot but have you been Lyme tested or looked at mast cell activation disorder? Consider bioresonance as a diagnostic?

Or even Clonazepam/Gabapentin to buy him some time.

I took Clonazepam for 5 days. Without tapering.

How much are you taking at the moment?

Here's a thread for benzo use (there are a few on Tinnitus Talk): Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril) Maybe we can post future feedback on the topic there instead of here, as it will reach more people. You stated: I don't understand how it is legit to say, Oh, you are a grown-up man; you make...

I guess I should increase the dosage.

It is. Benzo is not a sustainable treatment.

Me either. Except taking Clonazepam. Guess I will be an addict and get dementia because no one can be with this.

...to sounds like they're coming from the aircon vent in a hotel room. This kicks in above a very low volume threshold, usually around 26 dB. I've also found Clonazepam provides relief by lowering volume. I'm also considering Mirtazapine - but I am wary of the usual stories of...

I don't disagree but it's only a bit short of feeling like a miracle if you're in the high-benefit group. I feel like Clonazepam mediates the response more than the volume and pitch, though, and Gabapentin seems to, when combined with Clonazepam, tamp down on volume and pitch a bit, too. It's...

Bro you blame everything on everyone else. You blame people for making you get the vaccine and making you go outside! You’re a grown man, take some responsibility!

...I have extremely reactive tinnitus after experimenting with GABAergic medications for relief. I mixed Gabapentin (1800 mg as prescribed), Clonazepam (0.25 mg), and Baclofen (5 mg) with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) one night, and my condition has been unstable since. I had not...

How are we better off? Clonazepam? That’s it. What a contribution! Wow. No mention of Deanxit? Do your research. Clonazepam is the 13th most tinnitus inducing med! Do a bit reading about Deanxit whilst you are at it. No high horse here. Just facts. Yes his trial. When will we hear about that...

Me too. Then again my anxiety level has never had a say in my tinnitus severity, as far as I have observed.

I thought it did too, but it was temporary/made it so loud in my ears I couldn't hear the head noise. Everything is so up and down now with my Clonazepam withdrawal.

After appointment with dr de Ridder - prescription for Deanxit and Clonazepam for 3 weeks. How do you guys think - should I follow this ?

@Capstan, why Clonazepam over an SSRI? This is the Kevin Hogan number one approach, in think? https://kevinhogan.com/faq-2/

No I didn't try it. I'm still on Clonazepam :(

Try some Clonazepam.

Me too. Quite odd at this point on my journey path not a single bit of spaghetti that I've thrown at the wall has stuck. I guess one blessing is I don't need to worry about becoming dependent.

Can I ask where you went? I'm in NYC and not too far from you. I also have pretty severe PTSD from other issues. I would love to know. Also, has anyone looked into Dual Sympathetic Block? It's supposed to be the "next level" approach.

Relevant update: I just sent an email to Dr. De Ridder this afternoon to ask him what he thinks about me getting back on Deanxit/Clonazepam combo. Reason: I don't want to spend my life struggling only because I'm scared of taking medications that have already proven to make me react less to the...

Once again I have to sing the praises of Clonazepam. After several discussions with my ENT and signing a controlled substance contract he agreed to give me an Rx for it for a maximum of 2 or 3 doses a week. The last two or three days have been particularly hellish. The eeeeee has been loud and...

...between doses and different types of benzos, starting, then stopping is a good idea. The brain likes consistency. I for one cold turkeyed Clonazepam in late 2020 off of 0.5 mg/day. I then had a spike from a loud noise in January of 2022. It was laughable compared what followed the day after...

...too repetitive for me. My sleep was severely disrupted. I would doze off for an hour or two and then wake up. Eventually, I began taking clonazepam (1.5 mg) before bed. While valerian and melatonin are safer choices, I was desperate. Even now, over 12 years later, I still take 1 mg of...

No Rehabs think this is a withdrawal but what advice do u all have for the Grandaxin taper? Was switching to Clonazepam CT a bad idea?

...took several weeks to subside. I can’t say how long from Trazodone specifically as I tried multiple sleep aids in a short span of time. I took Clonazepam for a little over a year and tapered very slowly. It helped me sleep. Nowadays, if I take it intermittently, it seems not to help me very...

...are medication like Prednisone (for acute trauma), Betahistine (if you have cochlear hydrops) and probably a cocktail of sedatives like Clonazepam and Gabapentin. Also, residual inhibition in a sense that you hear a signal of a frequency similar to your tinnitus, and it makes it go away for...

It's been a lifesaver to you. Yes, I hear your concerns but some do well on it. Coming off is a different story and worrying about that will not help.

I was prescribed Gabapentin and Clonazepam after I injured my back Interestingly enough, I believe this was the initial cause of my tinnitus. The tinnitus was very mild, but started after I did a micro taper of Clonazepam. The doctor who prescribed those drugs changed my life forever.

Tinnitus is strange. I take Gabapentin and it completely eliminates 1 of my tones, but doesn't do a thing to the others. Neither Xanax nor Valium did anything for my tinnitus. I haven't tried the other benzos.

...Hamid Djalilian's migraine cocktail (search for more information online) Dr. Dirk De Ridder's medication cocktail (Deanxit, Aripiprazole, Clonazepam, and possibly a few others) Dr. Shulman's Clonazepam + Gabapentin Hearing aids, if there is hearing loss Cochlear implants for severe hearing...

This Monday I'm having a consult with a pain specialist to discuss some papers about noxacusis I've sent him. I'm currently on Clonazepam but without much effect, so in this meeting other medication might be on the table as well. In our first meeting he also mentioned Pregabalin and Tegretol...

...alternative, together with a LOW dose antipsychotic (Flupentixol or Aripiprazole) and if that doesn't help enough, adding LDN at night and Clonazepam. All are low doses rather than one high dose SSRI, which sometimes, but not always, makes the tinnitus worse. Low dose Aripiprazole...

Hi all. I have been prescribed Clonazepam but haven’t taken it. I hate medications that impair my motor skill wise or cognitively so it’s very unfortunate that my Type A personality now endures severe tinnitus. I browsed the study and what’s interesting for me is I’ve been diagnosed with POTS...

Very much my experience too.
