    Debilitating Tinnitus from Benzo (Clonazepam) Taper

    I break my 0.5 mg Clonazepam into six pieces. Each half gives me three pieces, so a full tablet lasts me six days. That’s equivalent to taking 0.5 mg every six days, making it nearly impossible to taper off such a low dose. I even went seven days without it to see what would happen, and I never...

    Horrendous Tinnitus During Clonazepam Taper

    I break a 0.5 mg Klonopin tablet into six pieces and take one each night for sleep. I suppose I get a placebo effect from it. I can stop taking it for seven days without any side effects. I’ve been using it for three years.

    My Life Changed After a Panic Attack from Researching Surgery for Eye Floaters — Tinnitus Now Much Worse

    Try taking 400 mg of Magnesium Oxide twice a day, along with vitamin B12. I prefer Klonopin over Lorazepam. The anxiety and panic attacks are likely worsening your tinnitus. Once you address those issues and improve your sleep, things should start to get better. Additionally, drink chamomile...

    Help Me Figure Out the Cause of My Tinnitus — Fearful of It Getting Worse

    The use of tubes can sometimes aggravate tinnitus, so it’s important to give your ears time to heal. I also recommend avoiding the use of eardrops.
