@threefirefour thats what I figured. Such a funny guy

@threefirefour are you serious about my picture? You can’t tell the person in the back is a child?

I agree with @DebInAustralia. I am definitely not obsessed with t, but I remember how aweful I felt at my lowest with t and I feel like if I can help people I will. Which is why I keep checking this site.

I got one for the first time last year. It was the scariest thing I thought i was having a stroke.

@Paulmanlike yes just cbt. I still go weekly I will probably have to go for about 6 months longer but it has definitely helped a lot. I am sorry the ssri didn't work for you. :(

It gets better. I believe the more you fight it are distressed about it the louder it becomes. Once I calmed my anxiety and my reaction towards it I am significantly better(time& counseling) :)

@Equalizer what a terrible thing to say. I still think about my tinnitus often but I have no longer have a negative reaction to it. Just like feeling my clothes on my body, sitting on a chair, hearing all the other sounds in the world. And I personally know about five people in my life that have...

@Mkc28 I am using lexapro. I heave heard its the best one for anxiety. I mean, I still have anxiety I probably always will but I feel like its under control.

@Paulmanlike I highly suggest trying some medication. It took me out of the panic and depression of it and im able to look at it more rationally now.

Hello, I joined this site in January after experiencing tinnitus randomly while I was sitting and reading. I went through about four months of hell. I could not eat (I weighed 130 dropped to 113 in about 2 months), could not sleep (literally). My anxiety was so bad I felt like I was about...

@Scott T how are you doing today?

@Florida John yes I have had it since February 3rd. I did have my ears checked and my right ear was impacted but made no difference when he removed it. I don't know how I got it, I was on my 6thday of lecapro when it started but I really don't think that's what caused it because I have taken it...

I did! I am on day 5 of Zoloft. And it seems like it might be a little bit less loud but it's definitely not making it any worse so far so good :)

Me! Just noticed the last couple of days it's driving me crazy.

This is my second day on Zoloft, was terrified to take it. So far so good don't know if it's just wishful thinking but my t seems to be less the last 2 days.

I freaked out when I stayed reading all the horror stories coming off cymbalta. I have been on lexapro after my 2 previous pregnanciesand quit cold turkey and was fine so I'm going to go back to my psychiatrist and ask about celexa or zoloft.

Just to update you guys I am stopping the cymbalta. Not because of anything to do with tinnitus but I have been doing a lot of research and it seems that this particular anti depressents is extremely difficult to come off of. I will be trying something else though On Monday.

I have been walking up at 4 usually the past month no matier what I take and before this I was an excellent sleeper.

I do generally feel more at ease today, but it usually takes 2 weeks to really see how it's going to effect someone so I have a ways to go.

Day 4 on cymbalta no effect on my t so far.

@Jake007 the klonopin is good its not like xanex to were it hits you and you can tell it's more gradual and you just feel normal instead of overly relaxed. I felt like I was nodding off to normal sleep.

@ChrisfromCanada yea it took me a long time to make a decision. I had already had some major trauma before this happend so my stress levels were already through the roof :(

@ChrisfromCanada I'm in the same boat, I have been taking a zanex every night for the past 2 weeks or else I don't sleep at all. I just started taking klonopin instead last night. Also just started cymbalta 2 days ago hoping that will get me out of this horrible place.

I benefit from it but everyone is different.

I'm in therapy and it is helpful I would recommend it if your struggling.

Day 2 nothing has changed.

I feel like everything has the potential to aggravate t so I'm trying not to stress about it I have enough stress as it is.

Stared taking it today. Nothing happening so far.

It did make me sleepy I have not slept that good since I got t but managed to sleep last night. Doesn't seem to be anything different sounding today.

I had some pretty traumatic things happen before the onset of t and I had been to a psychiatrist who prescribed me klonopin. I was having a very hard night tonight and took one, it's been about two hours now and I would say the noise has gone down at least 50 percent.

@Marie79 thank you so much for replying. I feel like I'm going insane right now trying to decide how loud it is and feeling it in my head. How long have you had t? Tell me it gets better :( I'm on the verge of crying right now, and my poor kids need a strong mom.

I have had the cymbalta now sitting on my kitchen table just staring at it every day. Don't know what's going to make up my mind. My psychiatrist thinks I'm nuts basically for blaming the lexapro for the onset and is advising me to try the cymbalta. Ugh decisions

@3ri0w well it's actually in a different class lexapro is an ssri cymbalta is an snri but it's still terrifying. I has taken Lexapro in higher doses twice before in my life after each baby with no tinnitus.I started taking it again after baby number 3 I don't understand how it could just now...

@Marie79 I feel the same way to so high pitched and I swear I can feel it. Found anything to help?

I was already dealing with extreme anxiety and postpartum depression before the onset of T. Now I need to make the decision to start cymbalta or not. I will mention I was on my 6th day of lexapro when the T started. But I don't know if I'm convinced that's what caused it.

@Lex yes I think so. Hey also do you experience short spikes like 5 or 10 seconds? I get them almost every day. Scars the crap out of me.

It's making my head feel funny kind of like I'm buzzed I'm so confused. Before this I had to really listen now I feel like my heads buzzing.

@Jason C maybe I should seriously give that a try. I am in kind of a panic trying to decide what it is that I'm heading in my head.

This sounds really weird but I can't tell if the noise is really loud or really soft it's just kinda like a constant electric sound in there. I'm really confused anyone know what I'm talking about? My head just feels weird.

@Oli I feel like I'm hearing every noise in the world right now. Is that normal? If cells like my ears and brain are on over drive everything is lounder and annoying to me right now.

@Oli I was actually able to see an ent already, my right ear was impacted he cleared it made no difference. He basically just said ok go get a hearing test done nothing else. What's the prednisone? It started 2 weeks ago.

@Oli I wish it was that simple now that I have heard it it's there. Im also having a weird thing happen where I can't tell if it's very loud or very soft. I can't really explain it.

When I first noticed the ringing I was sitting in complete silence reading for the first time in years. I have a 7 year old and 3 year old I don't often just sit in silence. Anyway as I was reading my ears both started to twitch kind of but on the inside which brought my attention to them then...

Hello to both of you. I can't figure out how to reply to you both individually help lol. But thank you for the kind words, I am definitely caught up in a cycle of needed to get out of anxiety but remaining here because of all the upsets I have had recently. I had actually tried to start...

Hi, I have been dealing with tinnitus for 3 weeks so far. I am a mom of 2 and have had some trauma preceding the onset. I delivered a baby as a surrogate mother at 34 weeks and the baby unexpectedly did not make it. And two weeks after that had my first ocular migraine which scared me...

Hello I saw your post and you sound a great deal like me I'm a 26 year old mommy of 2. In the early days of tinnitus (3 weeks ) in. If you want to talk you can email me katvanallen@yahooI would love to talk.
