There is lots of clinical studies on other type of meds too such as Parkinson’s drugs, Anti Anxiety Meds (Benzodiazepines), Anti depressants etc. I'm trailing Sifrol (pramipexole) and its a Parkinson drug. Trobalt on this forum was a huge deal as it was the first med that gave some people...

...to calm my anxiety I was on it for 6 days when I got T. I have no idea if it's related, but it scared me enough to stop the medication. I feel like I would really do better on some type of anti depressents anti anxiety medication but am now terrified it will make it worse. Not sure what to do.

I'm considering going to the gp for anti depressants/ anxiety drugs, but I'm worried about them being addictive and coming off of them. Any advice would be good.

Medical treatment is dependant on the reason for your T. Some people get success with anti-D's because their T has been brought on by depression, others get success with anti-anxiety medication because their T was brought on by anxiety. For hearing loss, I've read reports of different drugs...

I can't say anything that you haven't already read. I'm 3 months in myself from a very very low dose medication. It's the luck of the draw if it goes away. I'm still in the struggling part of it but people like my father and brother are 30 years in and live a normal life. She's young and has...

I’ve had 3 Moderna shots. Two regular vaccines and the booster. No change to my tinnitus. I was scared for the first one but once I realized it didn’t have any negative effect I was mostly ok for the other two. I live in a very anti-vaxx area and a highly infected area so that’s what pushed me...

You have tried both anti-anxiety and anti depressant but not using anything now? I consider trying out anti depressants now since i struggle with thoughts on not wanting to live with this. My fear is that I will become dependant and will have to take them for the rest of my life. I was...

Has anyone tried anti anxiety medications with success? I don't mind taking an ssri if it won't create more ringing but they take a while to work, what about benzos are they the better option?

What kind of anti anxiety meds are you taking? Be very wary of Benzo’s! I took them for 6 weeks. All kinds of weird hyperacusis symptoms because of them. I suggest you only take those for short periods

thanks @quietatnight ..I agree, I doubt it's the clonazepam. Thank you for sharing your story. One thing is for sure, I do need an anti anxiety med...

If there was no noise to cause this spike I assume it is based on stress. I would assume when your stress reduces it will also go back to normal. Have you talked to your doctor about anti-anxiety medications? Have you tried CBT?

I have tinnitus of 9000 Hz and 80 decibels, and have started ketamine nasal spray sessions twice weekly at a clinic for suicidal thoughts. Unfortunately the ketamine increases the volume of the noise and hyperacusis, so it may outweigh the benefits I receive for depression and anxiety. Any...

I was on anti anxiety drugs and trying to get off them before I got worse t, so more drugs wasn't really an option for me. Exercise, meditation, more mediation, CBT textbooks...

Hello Everyone, After three years I’m finally posting to ask for advice. Has anyone found a way to make life livable? Family gatherings, football games for your kids, a horn beeping in traffic. Those put you on your knees. I’ve tried high doses of Gabapentin, anti-anxiety meds, marijuana...

@Tinizzy you ever tried anti anxiety meds? I'm not trying to force you to take them because they are addictive unfortunately, but I do take them and they help a lot

Wow... I feel so bad for you. Can you get some anti-anxiety medication to help you temporarily? Ativan works for me! ;) I only take it for very high stress times though.

Hi mingmonster, Anti depressants come in a lot of brands and some work differently but with the same target to help depression and anxiety. When you start medication for depression you can get more anxiety feelings but there is help with short courses of diazepam or lorazepam for a week or two...

I took it daily at range of 40-80mg. It was actually for about two years. I was using it as an anti-anxiety medication (it blocks the effects of adrenaline to some extent.)

@danni1979 , ask for anti anxiety meds like Xanax. Use it for a SHORT period in order to take control. Then I would suggest you try a diuretic med... Good luck.

If it gets bad enough, you should talk to the doctor about anti-depressants. Anxiety through the roof and dark thoughts are what I read in your post. Anti-depressents can help with these things if you have trouble coping on your own. I used Clonazepam and it helped a lot get over the first...

@PeteJ You need to be institutionalized. Have you tried that? There are anti-anxiety drugs (Xanax) that will help along with an anti-depression (Prozac), and Ambien to sleep. You need to be institutionalized now. You need help getting through this. It doesn't happen overnight. Seek help...

Clonazepam is a good medication to help you get your anxiety under control in the short term. I would suggest seeing if you can get a good anti-anxiety/anti-depressant to start with (I take lexapro) and supplement that with clonazepam for a couple weeks. Then, once the lexapro kicks in for...

...treatments like TRT and neuromonics having high success rates. Besides there are many people benefiting somewhat from anti depressants, anti anxiety meds, alternative treatments, vitamins and suppliments, yoga and meditation, acupuncture and so on. So its not that much hopeless condition to...

Classic panic question: Can <insert soft noise or activity unrelated to ears> make things worse? There are lots of them on this forum. Answer: No, calm down and take your anti anxiety meds.

Some people will build a tolerance to various aspects of the drug, but that's not the same thing as addiction (see, for example, this concise paper). I'm glad Dr. De Ridder made that point. The "benzos are poison" refrain you constantly hear is a major bugbear of mine in relation to tinnitus...

I never had anxiety or depression before. @jeannie: Ever thought about taking an anti-anxiety AD like Lexapro or Zoloft?

I agree with everyone on here. Taking anti-anxiety meds won't make your T worse. In fact, it should improve it because it will make you feel better. Taking meds to help you with your stress and anxiety in the short term is a good step for you. Couple that with CBT to address the underlying...

I advised you of the mental and physical ramifications of stress and did a bunch of research on anti-anxiety medication and gave you an entire list of non benzodiazepine drugs to ask your doctor about before you started this thread. As well as explaining to you that your incident with the Toyota...

. Hope all is well, what anti anxiety pill do you take?

Yes it is. I spent $100 to go to the emergency and all they tell me is that it's anxiety. What kind of bs. My heart already beats fast so coffee just makes it even worse. I do not have anxiety and my therapist even thinks so. She asked why I was even there. I'm a firm believer of anti vaccines...

Which ones did you try and worked best for you?

Maybe you can ask your doc for a very small amount of some anti-anxiety med (benzo, for a month, tops) to help with the zoloft discontinuation. You've been on it for a long time.

Exactly. I’ve seen people here get some relief from them but the addiction / tolerance / inevitable taper and side effects like you’ve mentioned don’t seem worth it at all. Thank you.

Hey arce. It can be very hard in the beginning but don't lose hope it may go away and make sure to see an audiologist or ent like mark said. Also if you have anxiety and depression tell your doctor I don't like taking meds but my anti anxiety meds got me through some rough times.

I can only say that Trobalt has two effects on me: 1. Anti-anxiety 2. Lowering volume This morning, I was completely down. Depression, anxiety and loud T. Was in the complete negative thought spiral downwards. 200 mg Trobalt pulled me out of this. Worst for me is really anxiety. Loud...

Definitely doesn't have the effect of a benzo on me, but as far as I'm aware benzos are anti-anxiety whereas Zoloft is anti-depressant. Zoloft also takes a while to get into your system (6-8 weeks I was told) whereas benzos hit me in 30 minutes to an hour. I take 100mg of Zoloft per day (under a...

I think if you are coming off of an anti anxiety drug it's normal to have increases anxiety which makes the tinnitus seem louder.

Important note on anxiety: A doctor may offer you anti anxiety medications such as oxazepam. Since most of these are benzodiazepine's it would be best Not to take them as they may only help in the short term, but be detrimental in the long term. @The Red Viper , that last post was so good I...

Hello! This is my first post on Tinnitus Talk, so I apologize for the length of this post. I have a lot of questions/concerns. I've looked here before, but I do not see very many posts about tinnitus similar to mine. For background, I am 20 years old. I believe I've had some form of mild...

Hi, I started having panic attacks in July, fast forward to October, I was put on Remeron (Mirtazapine). Four days later I woke up after having a nightmare with screaming tinnitus in both ears. Called my psychiatrist who said it was not listed as a side effect, I was having psychological...

I am in the same boat here. Hang in there, we will get through this. If you are going through hell... keep going. Ask the doctors for some meds that will help (anti-anxiety, antidepressants, or whatever they would recommend you to take). Best regards!

I was on citalopram for 4 years, then I stopped it suddenly 4 weeks ago (no reason) then after a week tinnitus came back. Is possible that tinnitus comes back cause you stop your anti anxiety tablets?

I'm wavering on a few medications for anti-depressants after Prozac seemingly spiked mine. A friend of mine takes Lithium for anxiety and she said it's helped reduce her tinnitus to a much better level. I'm curious if anyone has experience with lithium in relation to tinnitus?

...but T wasn't their primary reason for taking the class. One other person was there at least partially due to T. They said that long term anti anxiety/antidepressant meds. were helping them at the lowest dose but they wanted to learn to deal with the issues so they could stop the meds. I...

We've all been there and we got through the worst stage like your going through. If your get anti anxiety meds just try and not use too much. Like Martin I went on Remeron, an anti depressant and sleep aid. I also take gabapentin which helps with anxiety to some degree. Definitely get masking...

...so I hesitate to mention specific meds....You'll need to see a medical doctor but I've never known of T being a side effect of either anti anxiety or anti depressants. Many of us have taken klonopin, Zoloft, Xanax, many other different ones. Getting your anxiety and depression under control...

Hi there, I was hit with tinnitus a month ago and have been having a bad time of it. Couldn't sleep my ENT put me on a medication called Remeron 7.5 mg. Slept until 6p but was startled when I woke up. I'm wondering if it is anxiety related. The Remeron is an anti-depressent but use it for...

Hi Welcome! FYI Bupropion gave me tinnitus, I'll never touch an anti depressant again. Please which antidepressant were you taking and for how long? And did you ever have other issues with hearing like a loud noise or ear infection? Thanks.

Sometime exercise can increase tinnitus. I noticed that when I went to the gym for a week and I've seen others say the same. Anti anxiety meds might also cause it and I'd stay the f**k away from headphones [except Neuromod ones perhaps]

It could just be a temporary spike due to the fact that you've just stopped taking the anti-anxiety drug. Your body needs time to get used to this change. Hopefully, it will settle down again soon!

Seems pretty much that any med that reduces your anxiety also reduces your tinnitus so what does that tell you ?

Hi, George, and welcome! Can you tell us more about your symptoms? Do you recall anything that happened 3 months ago that might have caused your tinnitus to get worse? Have you had the anxiety and panic attacks for these 3 months, or did you have them before that? Also, are you taking any...

I haven't considered anti-anxiety meds or sleeping aids per se, but next on my list is Ginko Biloba, which also seems to help some people. Have fun with the dogs! They'll definitely help to take your mind off it for a while :)

Hello GavH I need to leave now so I'll keep this short but - try to avoid taking anything that has tinnitus listed as a side effect. Especially if it's an anti-anxiety drug, there are safer alternatives. If you experience anxiety and need something ASAP, try some over the counter herbal drugs...

Telis: I got anti-anxiety meds (something called Alopam) when I first got hit with this. And that really helped me out and I believe that was how I got out of the tunnel the first time. I habituated quite fast after that and my T got pushed into the background. Hopefully this will happen for...

No. For most people, it's actually the opposite. They initially have mild hyperacusis and go into denial, telling themselves that it's anxiety or something. Then it gets unmistakably worse. In my case, it was caused by an autoimmune disease. Anti-anxiety medication actually makes my condition worse.

Sometimes, I take Lorazepam .5mg, melatonin, calcium/mag supplement, 5HTP. Not all on the same night. What do you take, @cullenbohannon ? Also, I notice you mentioned an anti anxiety med in another post - which one?

Hello,Carlyi!Just want to tell you please pay attention to your anti-anxiety drugs.I heard some of these medicine can reduce T.However,they also can be the trigger of T or make your T worse!Please look out Best wishes

7.5 mg of Mirtazapine. Nothing else yet, other than some white noise and a regular routine. I am a little leery to start another SSRI or SNRI. I needed to sleep though. Sleep plays a big part in depression and to mentally deal with things like tinnitus. However, tinnitus seems to deny you sleep...

Yes, any anti anxiety drug can cause this as I found out with low dose Seroquel for insomnia- am trying to quit the Seroquel now and will see what happens- but somehow I dont think the tinnitus will ever go away
