Thanks so much. It's so nice to hear from people who are living normal lives and especially people who found it extremely tough at first (as I am currently). Interestingly, since I started getting tinnitus, I confided in some friends and family about my condition (by way of explanation of my...

Yes Tamika I have to take Ativan & Prozac plus sleeping pills just to cope. I have prior condition of anxiety and panic disorder. So the brain had no chance against T & H initially. No amount of will power or things I learn from forums could stop the panic attacks coming on auto mode every time...

As I understand it, any drug altering brain chemistry may adversely effect the trial. As I recall, the vagus nerve trial also showed unsuccessful outcomes for those on ADs and similar drugs.

...drive me to relentless panic attacks on auto mode when I woke up most morning with that scream. I had to instantly reach for the meds, Ativan, Prozac, just to calm the nerves. I never thought I could accept and coexist with this sound. But given no choice, complete acceptance or facing...

...but the absolutely can--and often do. Before taking any drugs, I'd advise just doing a quick online search, such as Benadryl and Tinnitus, or Prozac and Tinnitus, etc. Just like a hearing test, seemingly benign drugs can be a real problems for vulnerable ears. Since you don't know the...

...Wellbutrin(Bupropion), Paxil(Paroxetine), for all you can find at least a couple of persons on this forum saying that it gave them tinnitus. Prozac could be safe... Anyway I have no idea how to proceed, I have tried CBD oil and I had a really bad reaction to it, it made my whole mouth numb...

...son, then you can imagine the intensity of my sufferings. Everyday was a long, dark day of suffering. I had to depend on drugs like Ativan & Prozac plus sleeping pills just to survive each day, praying that they better work or else... Those where the darkest days of hellish living I never...

...than me at 3 months. Why? Because at 3 months, I was heavily depending on drugs just to survive each day. I was taking Ativan (a benzo), Prozac (antidepressant) and sleeping pills just to function amid relentless anxiety and panic attacks due to my decades of prior condition suffering from...

You’re an extraordinary person Billie. TT is lucky to have you.

This is amazing. What do you think @TracyJS ?

Hi @elizabethab I am relatively new to T, so can't advise you, but there are many wise experienced people on here who definitely will be responding. In the meantime check out the success stories, they certainly helped me. Regards Phil

...save you! Anyway, I suggest you get an anti-depressant such as St john's wort as it's not ototoxic and has been proven to be as effective as prozac. In addition, I would get some masking mate. I suggest this site as it really does help- http://www.generalfuzz.net/acrn/ If you are really...

...but after a prolonged period of time, and with a combination of factors could be the culprit. Meds can be tricky. For example: I took Prozac for many years (on and off) with no problem whatsoever (since 2001). However, in 2009 I started taking it again, my psychiatrist increased the dosage...

...it;s you focusing too much on it you've had blood tests and a bunch of medical standard tests to detect any abnormality and they gave you prozac because it's obvious that your biggest problem is nothing more than just anxiety! stop listening to people on the net, most don't have medical...

Billie That is some great info; wow, I wished I'd found this site when my T hit (I was all alone). I had never thought of it the way you had just articulated (so well); I think I can consider myself smarter for reading you post (seriously!). Thanx!! Mark

...many nice sounds to choose from. Masking helped me big time initially. You should also get some meds from the doctor. I depended on Ativan & Prozac plus sleeping pills for at least 6 months just to survive. But now I am totally drug free. So never say never. Stay positive with hope and may...

...took it 4 times a week until May... the nightmare begun: very loud intrusive tinnitus. Tinnitus is no stranger to me. Had it in 2010 due to Prozac and benzos... it went away (or at least got really manageable)... but for some reason, I have amnesia remembering how did that resolved. I'm...

...it's been less than a week. I think you have a very very good chance of the tinnitus fading away. But I've also talked with people who took Prozac for 2 days and had tinnitus for 1-2 years and they still have it. Basically, good luck. I hope to god your tinnitus goes away, because if you...

That sounds amazing! Can you tell me more of this 5-HTP? I googled it and found out it adds to the production of Serotonin, but I have heard that SSRI antidepressants can make tinnitus worse because of working on Serotonin, so wouldn't 5-HTP have the risk of worsening tinnitus?

...while on the bus and I keep said plugs with me at all times. I don't use earbuds or headphones. Hell, I've even neglected taking the 20 MG of Prozac prescribed to me because of how it might affect my tinnitus and VS. But these precautions do little to reassure me Don't get me wrong, I'm not...

...after getting off Wellbutrin w/ this issue? I've been quite nervous to go back on anything even though I was OK with (and helped by) Prozac after having gotten tinnitus 12+ years ago. I know everyone is different and side effects vary for people, but would be grateful for any suggestions...

...Yeah, I'm extremely stupid, I fell for the trap of pharmaceuticals thinking that they would help. I always hated taking any pill. I took Prozac for three days when I was 19 and it made me extremely ill with migraines, and that's why I never wanted to try an antidepressant ever again, and I...

Maybe there was something wrong with the cbd oil you had.

Our stories are very similar. I truly understand the HELL you have been in and how much of a warrior you are. I can re-live all your moments, you been through a lot, as I have and it speaks volumes about your character :)

...now, and am still very bothered by it. I am probably bothered more now than I was in the beginning. I have anxiety and depression and take Prozac for these conditions. I have absolutely no clue how my Tinnitus started, and thats kind of why I'm here to see if anyone can relate to me. Have...

Welcome to the forum! You are handling your situation quite well for someone that just got tinnitus. At first all of us were nervous and a bit scared about the new ringing and sound that is coming out our heads. It's not natural to go from silence to some odd sounds, that only we can hear. Just...

...the doctors said that may have contributed. I did notice the ringing after 2 months on lexapro, but it went away and came back after being on prozac for a month. All my doctors said that it is extremely extremely rare that SSRI's can cause tinnitus, but sometimes they can amplify it. I...

...Dr's want to give me could make my T worse so don't want to take them. I was put on Xanax which was awful, was prescribed sleeping pills & Prozac which I don't want to take as they could be addictive and/or could cause ringing to worsen. I stopped caffeine and alcohol as they could cause it...

Trust me, it will stop the electric buzzing noise once you're completely off benzos, it could take a month or it could take 1 year or in rare cases up to 2 years, but it will die down, mark my words, so just weather the storm. I'm talking from experience, this is what happens during benzo w/d...

...actually cause tinnitus? And if they do, at what level of prevalence? These questions stem from the following: Considering just Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro and Celexa, data from 2020 indicates that the total number of prescriptions in the US for these 4 SSRI was ~100M, and that involved a total...

I am so sorry to hear about your suffering. I hope they find a cure for some of these things asap. I know earlier this week, some of us were discussing a medicine called Riluzole. I heard it can be used for treatment resistant depression. It is not an SSRI. It is not promoted by...

...I suffered and feared my ultra high pitch T (and severe hyperacusis too) a few years back and I was in a mess initially, living on meds like Prozac & Ativan. But now I don't give a dime about T high or low. My body is hardened to this ringing and its tyranny over me is truly over. I live a...

...row at a time with NO sleep) and felt unable to function. I had to be signed off work and was so worried about losing my job. I was prescribed Prozac for depression, and after about 5 weeks started to feel better as my sleep returned. I then returned to work and have never looked back. My T...

Thanks Billie This gave me hope "Today I am back to normal, drug free and living a full, enjoyable and abundant life. Tinnitus somehow has lost its tyranny over me." I wish this day would come sooner, rather than later! I did it once before, 14 odd years ago! Now its back :-( I don't remember...

...if I could sleep at all with the aid of sleeping pills, I wished not to wake up to repeat the torture cycle again and again. I took Ativan, Prozac and sleeping pills often to cope. Ativan calmed the nerve, Prozac took off the edges of depression, but it did one miracle for me. It stopped the...

I guess I’m still in the naive phase. Still, just ordering these made me feel better. I think it’s for the most part the feeling that you’re actively working for a solution. Even if it doesn’t work, that hope you feel until you find out, brightens the days in between. Plus, it would be an awful...

...the sleeplessness, panic, anxiety through the roof, taking benzos & AD (Ativan sublingual 0.5mg and most of the time I needed 2 pills, SSRI Prozac, sleeping pills etc). You did better than me, as you took 15 minutes to panic upon waking with T, I had panic attacks the moment I woke up with T...

...over a couple days. Looking back on it, it was a type of anxiety attack. Ended up at my GP. He said that sounded like anxiety and put me on Prozac and Xanax. I was good for ten days, then took a xanax before bed and had a bad reaction. That started a week of a mental hell. Felt like i...

...I did was get myself to the doctor and beg/ demand some physiological help. I didn't want therapy so asked for anti depressants. After trying prozac (which made my other ear ring.... This did settle down tho) I eventually settled on Citalopram. The difference wasn't major but slowly, over a...

...loud T (if I could sleep at all), and these attacks would come on and off all day. I had no choice but to use drugs to survive, taking Ativan, Prozac and sleeping pills. Either I did that or I could harm myself due to immense suffering. My tired and stressed out mind was suggesting the big...

...latley, Dr's are just trying to help my anxiety and depression which is understandable, as they know they cant cure Tinnitus, he prescribed prozac, but i did not take it, another dr recommended celexa, I can say a few things for sure that you need to do, #1 Try and get sleep, you need good...

...I have been taking psychological treatment for the last 6 years for my GAD. I was just 18 years old when my docs put me on SSRIs. I have used Prozac, Paxil, Paxera, Stilizan, Destreyl, Trankobuskas, Remeron and Rivotril. My doctor put me on Rivotril last year this time to treat my chronic...

I am no doctor so I can't advise on the medical and drug questions. I have been on ADs during the darkest time, such as Prozac & Amitriptyline but I am off them now. I decided to use other approaches to get myself more positive and healthy, such as using positive psychology & mindfulness...

...more habituated to her T. For me during my panic attacks, no amount of will power seems to be able to stop them. They just kept coming until Prozac and Ativan put a stop on them. To some, using drugs to control severe symptoms is a life safer. Life is tough. I feel compassionate to those who...

Was looking for my sound on the internet. When Billie mentioned dog whistle, I found some examples on youtube. I don't want to paste it here that no one damages his ears. Bit it is unbearable. This is exactly what I am hearing. If you read comments, people could stand this noise only for some...

...used Ativan (sub-lingual form) to help with anxiety. But Klonopin may be better for longer lasting effect. I also used anti-depressants like Prozac to help combat both depression and panic attacks. It did a good job. Later I switched to Amitriptyline (Elavil) which does a better job for...

...attacks for days and weeks and months. That was a hell of a life I went through. I had to survive each long dark days with meds, Ativan, Prozac, sleeping pills... Many time I went to sleep not wishing to wake up to repeat the torture cycle again and again. Often, the tired and stressed out...

...night for inspiration how to cope with my immense sufferings from T, H, as well as relentless anxiety and panic attacks. I had to take Ativan, Prozac and sleeping pills just to survive each long dark day. And then one night I had the strong impression and reassuring thought that He had not...
