So life happened. I went to party for a friend and they had musical entertainment.. It was acoustic guitar and normal loud like musical entertainment in a bar would be. I listened for around 15 min then went to a different part of the building. We then went to a different bar and band playing. I...

@Robert Fahey I completely agree with this. I catch myself forgetting to listen and think about the tinnitus these days it's so nice when I forget about it and live life ! They absolutely go hand in hand. I am working on this.

@dnl I just may go buy some nyquil. I hate taking the alprazolam honestly esp during the day. It's worth a shot! My family has been listening (whether they want to or not) and well aware also. The Facebook group was great for support but also full of negativity.. Not purposely but because...

@RobertFahey I was taking for anxiety.

Oh my.. So my tinnitus is up and down it seems. I had joined a support group on Facebook for a week and I swear it made my tinnitus worse for me!! Was even up all night having panic attacks.. I had to drop out of the group and take prn 25mg alprazolam. It helped a little. So for the past week I...

Well saw audiologist and ENT specialist today. I've never had a hearing test before (since I was a kid). I have hearing loss... mostly mild/moderate in right ear. ENT of course didn't know for sure what caused the tinnitus but agreed it could definitely be from medication and that it may or may...

@dnl you made me feel better and didn't give me false hope. Thank you for your honesty and realistic expectations! I see an Ent Dr tomorrow. I don't think they will be able to help honestly. The good and bad days is real. I just want improvment. Will keep you posted!

@Trisha no I haven't stopped taking any meds except generic wellbutrin (which I believe caused it ) I seem to get the rare side effects from meds! I quit taking Ativan .. Not sure if that would be an issue? Maybe I need to smoke some weed.. But id lose my job! Lol

Another question - I know we are all different but is it common or has anyone else experienced their tinnitus getting "worse" after the initial onset? I'm well into the 2nd month and feel like it spikes up and down. I have been off the wellbutrin since Oct 3 or 4th!thank you

https://www.iherb.com/pr/Thorne-Research-Niacel-Nicotinamide-Riboside-60-Capsules/57082#qna ^^@soundbOund is this what you are referring to? And if so it works for medication induced tinnitus correct? Sorry for all the questions it gets confusing

Thank you all for your support and advice. I hate that I took a medication that I had no idea could do this. I can't afford laser therapy and have no access to oxygen therapy in my area. What are these supplements that could help

@soundbOund I am hoping it gets better for me.. So what is this laser therapy??.

Update : It's been a over a month now and really no change in the tinnitus. It's bad this morning..but seems better at times. I had thought about going back down to 150mg wellbutrin a few times but am staying off of it. I'm so frustrated right now.

@Sam Buice not sure... I took wellbutrin over a month and then developed tinnitus after raising dosage (my theory).. But maybe it was already there and I just didn't notice it? Very good question. @dnl is very knowledgeable on here

Good to know. I ordered a white noise machine off amazon for sleeping.. Praying for this ringing to just go down at this point.

@dnl did you see an ent about your ears? I made an appt but can't get in until end of Nov.

Thank you both for your advice and honesty! Tho I still have the bell choir playing in my ears I feel better today after reading the chatting with others who have been there and understand. This tinnitus is lonely! I feel like Noone in my little world understands I have decided to not go back on...

That's very interesting and so true, we are all wired differently. I didn't notice tinnitus at 150mg.. I was so happy with Wellbutrin before this that I actually fantasize and think about going back on it at a lower dose (150mg or less) however am scared since right now - 17 days off wellbutrin...

Right ? From my Google research its a more rare side effect (6%).

Agreed. Have spoken to two Dr's (who prescribe wellbutrin) and neither of them have heard of it... Hmm.

@dnl I am 51

THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR INFORMATIVE REPLIES ❤️❤️ It is so wonderful to hear there is hope from someone who's experienced it! I had my dr check my ears today and my ears look ok! (not an ent but just a look in there lol) I ordered a white noise machine for night time. Good luck to you also and I...

I took generic Wellbutrin XL 150 mg for around a month and then upped dose to 300mg. Within a few days of 300 mg my ears started ringing. I literally remember thinking... I can feel this drug. I absolutely loved how Wellbutrin made me feel otherwise and it's been the first anti depressant...
