For me, it is the same. Taking 0.5 mg of Clonazepam seems to help by reducing the hyperactive neurons in the auditory cortex. However, it makes me feel extremely tired, almost like a zombie. I have been trying 0.25 mg for almost four weeks now, but the hyperactivity has come back strongly...

...to get by with 20 teeth, that’s more than enough. I have 28 right now, so I can easily sacrifice 8 when the time comes. I’ve been pushing clonazepam for four days now. I just had my MSW appointment, and she says it’s very obvious I’m having trouble finding words. She mentioned she never sees...

I keep wondering if its worth getting Clonazepam... just for some relief. I keep trying to avoid given my cause and that of others. Tired...

4 mg of clonazepam and I feel no change in tinnitus loudness/perception. I won't go higher. I had so much hope in benzos when I got them...

I forgot to write here that Clonazepam "cured" all my symptoms of moderate hyperacusis for 48 hours. Not sure about T loudness though...

Can Clonazepam help hyperacusis? Or just tinnitus.

Jeez Louise, and here I am worried about taking 0.025 mg of Clonazepam a day and running out of Gabapentin. I have a box of Pregabalin that was given to me to try, but I haven’t used it yet. Those are some hefty doses, mate. Be careful! I’m glad it’s helping your symptoms, but I’m honestly in...

...just works better, I guess. Many diseases have a combination treatment. Dr. De Ridder prescribed Aripiprazole, too, but I don't have any of that. It was the lowest dose, like 2 mg. Try it for a month and see. You could take 0.25 mg of Clonazepam at night if you are worried about side effects.

You are probably right about Clonazepam losing its effectiveness, @Cmspgran. Two to three times a week might be too much. My ENT consultant advised that I only take Clonazepam when the tinnitus is severe. If taken too regularly, the body quickly habituates to it, and more of the drug needs to be...

Does anyone take clonazepam? I’ve seen a lot of people with tinnitus take it.

...but a severe tinnitus spike can definitely make me anxious. I've experienced so many spikes that now I mostly just: Suppress it with Clonazepam. Ride it out. Hope for the best, since there's not much else to do. I like the idea of using a "mini" dose of Zolpidem. For me, 3.25 mg is already...

I used Clonazepam, at a dose of 1.5 mg taken 1 hour before bed, for several years while concurrently doing acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, hypnosis, Ayurvedic herbs, and TRT with maskers. My catastrophic hyperacusis took over a year to diminish. The catastrophic tinnitus took several years to...

I was also impressed with Dr. De Ridder and appreciated his insights on Clonazepam. I had thought that it was best to use low doses as needed, but from what I gathered (and I could be mistaken), it seems that he recommends using a low dose regularly. He mentioned that it’s the wearing off of the...

Took 0.5 Clonazepam half an hour ago. So far no reduction in anxiety and tinnitus loudness, but oh boy my eyes are heavy as hell. Will wait

Because my tinnitus is so bad, I already switched back to Gabapentin. I will probably add Clonazepam (0.25 mg) in the evening, too, every other day.

...that. The lower the dose, the better. What's the point in trying to improve my mood if I can't sleep? I'm also considering 0.5 mg of Clonazepam next time I have some, but my anxiety and roaring tinnitus are both extreme at the moment, so I hope it's enough to take the edge off every now and...

...So I got afraid instantly, and tried to think if that noise was loud enough to hurt my fragile ears. I want to specify that I'm on a Clonazepam withdrawal... And my tinnitus is worsening every week: I took 0.5mg Clonazepam for 3 months and I'm following a tapering plan for another 3 months...

Michael Leigh put a post about clonazepam helping him and it helps habituate faster.

@chris a, thanks for your story. Have you been on this cocktail daily for 3 years? I have suspicion only the Clonazepam is beneficial. Have you tried the Clonazepam on its own?

likely need a root canal soon and my nox is pretty bad rn. torn between taking nitrous oxide or 1 mg of clonazepam beforehand. any input?

...and unfortunately, I only have the worst news to share. I think I really need some support right now. Last year, I failed to taper off Clonazepam (0.5 mg). It was a very slow taper, reducing by 5% per month. I managed to get down to 0.3 mg, but that is when everything spiraled out of...

How are you getting on with the Gabapentin/Clonazepam thing? I'm in discussion with my doctor's surgery to trial Carbamazepine or something similar.

Have you given Clonazepam a try? It works for me. Diazepam does nothing.

...a few days it was horribly loud the majority of the time. Probably like 8/10 on a 1 to 10 scale. After going to a psychiatrist he gave me Clonazepam which has quieted the tinnitus completely at times, lowered it in general to when it is occurring to a level of about 2-3/10 and made my...

My tinnitus is unilateral. My biggest issue initially was how my tinnitus sound would react to external stimuli. After about three months and about a month of the nutriceutical protocol, the reactivity issue seems to be getting better. It is not resolved by any means, but it is more manageable...

Have you tried taking Remeron (Mirtazapine) and Klonopin (Clonazepam)? If not, I highly recommend taking Remeron at night to aid sleep. It will take a week or so for your body to adjust and stick with it.

You will regret it...

I recently tried Clonazepam to treat my tinnitus, anxiety, and improve my sleep. I found that it does nothing for my severe spikes (7–8 out of 10), but for moderate ringing, it does reduce the volume noticeably. However, it takes hours to take effect, and the relief is only temporary. Once the...

1 mg is pretty potent for Clonazepam. That's 4 times as potent as my 0.5 mg dose of Lorazepam, plus it has a much longer half-life, resulting in a higher concentration of the benzo in your system longer. I avoid taking Lorazepam much because it can build tolerance and dependency quickly, plus...

...spot. The only difference is my (severe) tinnitus was noise induced and you are further along with the taper. I've been wanting to quit Clonazepam since summer last year, but the tinnitus got worse while trying to and I got really scared so I put it on hold for many months after my initial...

How long have you been taking Clonazepam? What dosage are you on? My doctor mentioned that you might build a tolerance after about six weeks. Did that help reduce your tinnitus? My doctor won’t prescribe it because he says you can build a tolerance to it. However, he’s fine with prescribing...

Just debating whether to get on Clonazepam full time now as the off days are giving me quite severe depressive symptoms when the reactive tinnitus catapults back.

1-2 mg of Mirtazapine and 0.25 mg of Clonazepam at night is the perfect cocktail for me.

I've seen others report a delayed effect between taking Clonazepam and a reduction in tinnitus, so I'm not surprised you had better results by taking it the night before. 0.25 mg every 6 days doesn't sound like it would be a problem. 0.5 mg doses are not uncommon and are sometimes taken more...

...tinnitus, while taking Prednisolone. This made me wonder what specific inflammation it was targeting. I experienced similar effects with Clonazepam and Zopiclone. However, I avoid Zopiclone because I disliked how it made me feel. Although it was effective in helping me fall asleep, it didn’t...

...bad the day will be, so I decide between 0.025, 0.5, or 0.75 mg in one go. If I take it the night before, I don't get as good of an effect. FYI: if you're really struggling, 0.5 mg just before bed, followed by the same dose upon waking, works well. Clonazepam also bioaccumulates, as I...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I had read that Clonazepam can reduce tinnitus sounds and GP prescribed for me. I took 0.25mg the other day and for about 3 days my tinnitus seemed really good. Wake up on the fourth day and it is back with a vengeance. The question is whether I should take it...

...after that (except for two small cuts). The tinnitus kept getting worse and I thought that I am lucky that I still have the 0.4 mg Clonazepam, because imagine how the anxiety would kill me if I didn't. I kept taking the pills and it's been downhill with my tinnitus really fast for the last...

Yes, that's how I've taken Clonazepam. I've taken in the past a low dose (0.25 mg) for a week, then none for 7-10 days, then for 2 days in a row, then 5 days later for 1 day. I also vary the dose (0.5 mg - 0.75 mg - 1 mg) and basically take it to my needs. I have no set pattern. On days I don't...

...and they gave me daily therapy that was so much better than everything I tried before.. Sulpride caps 50 mg 3x2 / Clozapine 25 mg 3x1 / Clonazepam 2 mg 2x1 / Paroxetine 20mg 1+1/2+1/2 / Amitriptylin 25 mg 2x1. Now, I can peacefully sleep, eat and enjoy my life l do not take Xanax at all and...

You have to be disciplined with those benzos. I have 0.5 mg Ativan (Lorazepam), which is equal to 0.25 mg Klonopin (Clonazepam) but with a much shorter half life. I've managed to hold myself off to one dose every third day on average, but that's for anxiety, as I don't think it helps tinnitus...

Ever tried Gabapentin?

Clonazepam has been useful to me since April 22. It can reduce both my hyperacusis and tinnitus in 12-24 hours. Some take it regularly, I have not. I take 0.5-1 mg for 1-2 days about once a week. The effect can be enhanced when taken with Gabapentin. Like many medications, some people...

I have been taking just a very small dose of 0.5 mg Clonazepam or Xanax before sleep for just over a week now, my doctor said at this low dosages I can take it up to one month without the need to taper down afterwards. Is it safe to stop taking it after 1.5 week 'cold turkey'?

300 mg Gabapentin and 0.5 mg Clonazepam for 3 months.

Doing better due to Clonazepam, it softens my tinnitus and reduces my anxiety greatly!

If I find a doctor who will prescribe me and won't ever taper me off against my will, then at what point will I run to problems? Will it always work if I just up the dose? What to expect other than some amnesia?

I’m going through a rough patch at the moment, mate. Clonazepam has lost some of its effectiveness, and I’m hesitant to increase the dosage. I have a question you might be able to help with. The original study mentioned that after a certain number of weeks, the TFI (Tinnitus Functional Index)...

...morning with a pain management physician to see how that goes for hyperacusis. So far, there is not much to report, but I took 0.25 mg of Clonazepam for the procedure and have had little to no hyperacusis this morning coming off my Gabapentin dosage last night + this morning's Clonazepam...

Yes, still on 1.5 mg Clonazepam/day.

You're on Clonazepam buddy. Forget that list.

...I took Diazepam this weekend at 5 mg (2 ml) to help get through a medical test, which I understand is meant to increase GABA the same as Clonazepam, but this seemed to send my tinnitus through the roof, so I guess the combination of Clonazepam and Gabapentin may be ineffective for me. Great...

...2013, and it was really, really bad—I was sure I was going to end it all. But now, 12 years later, nothing that drastic has happened. Plus, I’m 68, and my wife has a 100% survivor benefit on my pension. Sure, my family would prefer me to be alive, so I think I’m just going to stick with...

I'm assuming they tried each alone with the statement, "The weird part is the Clonazepam and Olanzapine have to be taken at the same time. If I remove one, the tinnitus comes back." And I believe this because benzos don't seem to affect my tinnitus at all. Wish I had had my Gabapentin and...

I was on Klonopin for 1 month at 1 mg a day, then 2 weeks at 2 mg before starting a taper of .25 mg a week. I was on it only 6 weeks total before starting to taper. Tapering went OK until I got to .25 mg and my ears started to ring with a louder electrical tone. Got to .125 mg and ears went...
