...you needed it. I would try to get the ent appt moved closer and ask him about a steroid if I were you. Also try to get a prescription for an anti anxiety drug like clonazepam if you are having serious anxiety as it seems like you are. Ask a psychiatrist or your regular doctor if you can. Good...

Man, going from a stoner who would have a bong in his hand nearly every waking moment when I'm at home to completely cold turkey out of it making the ringing (or perceived) louder... This sucks, man. Pot was sort of "the miracle plant" I discovered 3 years ago after I had spent my teenage years...

@aura, you said it right about tinnitus being a total monster. I'm very sorry to read that you have so much trouble lately. Have you experienced a lot of stress the last few days? It could indeed be the case that stress compounds tinnitus and vice versa. It's hard to get out of that loop...

It is not uncommon to get increased anxiety (and insomnia, other side effects) while an anti-depressant kicks in as your body is getting the extra serotonin. Usually this does not last long though and sometimes a Dr. might prescribe a benzo temporarily while the AD kicks in.

@DSL, given you are in panic mode after this trauma, you will feel miserable and freak out. That will in turn make your brain perceive the tinnitus even worse and more intrusive. Remember that Prednisolone is a strong anti-inflammatory steroid. Did you taper properly? It can temporary worsen...

I get so fatigued from something. Either it's my depression and anxiety from this crap or it's the T dragging me down... Or the anti depressants, but I wake ok and get out to walk dog, then I go between being ok and falling down tired. I can handle the anxiety attacks ok lately but I'm not sure...

Yeah, my guess was they were anti-Ds or meds for anxiety. And a lot of people with tinnitus take those, so that's an issue.

The short answer is no. You probably have some sort of mild physical abnormality that is causing it. If it isn't dangerous, don't worry about it. Before you get to that point though, I would get a second opinion. Have someone else look at your images and the angiogram. If they say the same, then...

I'm the exact same. Of course anxiety may exacerbate things and it certainly won't help matters but it's frustrating knowing that your physical symptoms are very real yet you are brushed off with 'it's all in your head, it's your anxiety'. Especially with my parents as well I find it hard to...

I have been taking valium on and off for a while but only half of a 2mg tablet a night. I am not sure if it is helping to be honest, I want something for anxiety but I don't want to take anti depressants after readingg all of the horror stories.

Then I wonder if that's the way BDNF works to quiet tinnitus when injected like OTO-413.

I didn't take muscle relaxants last night but I did sleep with a store mouthguard and anti-anxiety meds. There was no real pain in my ear when I woke up. I think there is the feeling of light pressure in it. I think it comes when I focus on it with lots of worry too.

...will not work, it's just an unfortunate side effect that they 'stir things up a bit' before having the right effect. Zoloft has quite an anti anxiety effect so within 6 weeks the tinnitus was absolutely no problem whatsoever, yet the sound had not decreased at all but I just couldn't have...

So far I don’t think there’s much reduction from the P but it’s only been a day. The anti-anxiety meds are helping, basically I can hear the T but don’t care. Hardly a sustainable situation but ok for the time being. It’s becoming very obvious it’s right ear only also. Hope you’re good J.

...Teacher) feeling light headed, tired and out of sorts but I think I ended the day more positive than when I started. I have been putting off going to bed but my husband has some anti anxiety tablets (I think they are out of date!) so I might take half of one of those. I will let you know how...

Do you take medication for your tinnitus? SSRI and anti anxiety meds give you thoughts of suicide. Read the disclaimer.

Louise, That is scary! Are you going to continue taking the clonazepam? I'm not taking any anti-depressant drugs myself. I tried xanax and valium, and didn't like either one. I've gotten over the worst of my anxiety now (2 1/2 years after my severe tinnitus started!). I've just started...

I was such a mess when the ringing started. I actually went off my Welbutrin, anti depressant. I am sensitive to these types of drugs to begin with, that I was not willing to try another or continue on the only one I could take. I had decided for myself that the anxiety about it was to my...

@Larry OT @dan In the beginning of T onset, I got Valium infusions and my T was reduced a lot. I think it is the Valium that calms the brain nerves. I also took Obipramol for some days (a long-term anti-anxiety med) and my T was reduced. I also asked myself if it was lower anxiety or the med. I...

...quickly, particularly (at least for me) when you are worrying about personal health issues. This is a good time for a short-term prescription for a quick acting anti anxiety drug. When the infection resolves, discontinue the anxiety med ( under doctor's instructions). Hope you feel better soon.

I understand. I am deeply depressed with tinnitus. I have been taking Sertraline (all the way up to 200 mg, now back at 50 mg) and added Mirtazapine 15 mg/night which knocks me out but makes it even more hellish to get out of bed the next day. My psychiatrist wants to add a small dose...

Clonazepam has been a lifesaver for me during habituation. Back off the edge of the cliff kind of stuff, just have to be judicious about use.

when i first had it and couldn't find out why i asked the doc for anti anxiety pills just to calm my nerves. that clonozepam also worked to minimize the sound and even stopped mine for a bit but handle with care - there's lots of posts on here about other side effects. talk your doctor.

Hello Tom71! I’ve had tinnitus for 7 weeks now and I know how difficult this is! Things I do to help stay calm is watching my favorite TV show/movie with a cup of either hot chocolate or hot tea, cuddle with my favorite blanket with my dogs. If my anxiety gets really bad I take a low dose of...

I actually contacted this trial the other day. Unfortunately, being on antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds excluded me. I asked if I could be provided with any information regarding this implant. I was told no unfortunately, due to patents on the device. @DaveFromChicago, aren't you the...

Yes, they test for benzos, I remember seeing marijuana,meth, and cocaine. I don't remember what the other 3 were.

My experience 1 month 1/2 into having tinnitus. And need some advice pls on how accepting it has definitely changed in the past 3 weeks. First 3 weeks were definitely hell on earth. Until your brain starts to somewhat accept the ringing there is really no avoiding that phase. My tinnitus...

Some degree of reactive tinnitus is not unusual. For example, my tinnitus volume increases when the fan in my computer goes into high gear. Anxiety is definitely playing a large role. Anxiety causes muscles to tense, whether you're aware of the sensation or not, especially tiny muscles. I...

Running water sound helped me a lot and helped through my habituation the first time. Time is the key, it reduces the high pitch sound dramatically, I experienced that! Teas to relax your anxiety, a lot of antioxidants and flavonoids (I take turmeric). I also believe inflammation causes the...

Very hard this though let’s be honest. If I could travel back in time I would have filled myself with anti anxiety drugs. I mean bucket loads of the stuff and prayed my brain just unhitched the sound before it buried itself in deep.

I would suggest talking with your doctor to discontinue the drug until the spike subsides. I am pretty sure this is a temporary spike due to medication and it will reduce back to what it was previously over time. Talk with your doctor about other anti-anxiety and depression medication to try...

Considering your lack of sleep is probably due to the anxiety about hyperacusis, or whatever you have, a low dose anti-depressant for anxiety might help. Also maybe something specific for sleep that isn't a straight up sleeping pill like trazodone or mirtazapine might help you sleep. Google...

Yes, I have tried and currently take buspar. It had no affect on my tinnitus whatsoever. I'm not convinced it's that great of an anti-anxiety drug though, as it did not seem to touch my panic attacks. It is a non-benzodiazepine drug though, which makes it desirable in that you will not become...

Yes get some anti depresants!!!! I dont know where you live but i take lexapro in the united states and its for anixety and depression and for an anti depressant i can say it does an awsome job of decreasing stress and anxiety.. Along with the clonzepan i take every once in a while :)

Rivotril is a better drug than xanax all around. It's certainly not innocent but if you plan to continue taking some some of anti-anxiety med, rivotril is the better choice. But as you might have read, taking such drugs for a long time (usually more than 3-4 weeks) is not a good idea.

Hi All, I live in England and as far as I'm aware Trobalt is not offered. It just seems like antibiotics and anti depressants and anxiety meds .maskers or hearing aids,CBT and TRT.... not sure if we are behind the times from other countries ..... great to hear what you think ........lots of...

You may want to try and go see your doc' ask for anti-anxiety meds for a short period of time. I'm pretty much against drugs in general, but you have to admit it does help at times. The more stressed out you get, the more your body will react negatively to everything that's happening to you.

Think about getting anti anxiety medication. Take something which is not known to increase Tinnitus. I'm on Paxil which helped me tremendously two times but takes up to 6 weeks until the effects are there. Before that I suggest taking a Benzo up to twice a week, not more, for the worst anxiety...

You are so young, and it is sad you are dealing with this. Augmentin doesn’t normally cause tinnitus. Your case is rare. I took Augmentin multiple times over the years and never had any issues. We give it to patients all the time. If Augmentin caused your tinnitus to get worse, you should...

I don't have time to read back through every single page on every single thread before I comment. People are talking about doctors being reluctant for prescribing this drug and I'm giving reasons for why they might be. I'm sorry to hear that. There's always a chance to get off it though. I...

I'll probably call and see what they can do..can other anti biotics curs ear infections?

I have a sound machine that helps somewhat and I've been taking an anti-anxiety drug for a couple of months until I get used to the T. I've had T for years, learned to tolerate it, but suddenly last December I woke up and it was much, much worse. I'm finally getting used to it again

I'm happy and my life is great. Still have tinnitus and it still bothers me every few days. I've tapered off my anti anxiety drugs and I get outside and drive again. We just got back from a month long tour of Asia and are planning kids! I wasn't the same two years ago. Healing just takes time!

...that takes a while. Hearing has improved and so has tinnitus. It was unbearable at the beginning, so loud I couldnt mask it and now its a lot quieter. After reading the forums here and getting tips on diet, supplements and seeing a psychiatrist and taking anti anxiety meds everything has...

But what is glucosamine? That does not work for anxiety does it? I don't see @Lane suggesting it for anxiety. I started omega 3 supplements a couple weeks ago, so I get enough of that now :) But I read it takes anywhere between 6 weeks to 6 MONTHS to see results (if it even works on...

...to keep it in check. I did go through a traumatic event just before I developed T. Also, my T brought all my anxiety out in the open and I could see it clearly that how anxious I am as a person. I am taking anti anxiety right now and it helps. I am hoping I do not have to take this long term...

...Greg, what experts have advised that muscular tinnitus is related to spinal positioning? Steve, have your symptoms resolved? I am still getting some fluttering but better than tympani drums and chainsaws and gongs, for nearly two months. Muscle relaxants and anti anxiety meds have helped for me.

Mirtazapine is commonly described in Germany for T. It is good for sleep and helps against depression. It does not do much for anxiety. For anxiety, the only thing that helps me: - Distraction (video games, hobbies, talking) - Exercising (difficult for me since T gets louder and depression keeps...

Dykey - Another thing I failed to mention: Drugs. You are probably exhausted from lack of sleep. That was my problem when I firt got "T". I was deperate. My blood pressure was really high. I was freaking out. I went to a psychiatrist who prescribed an anti-depressant, Remeron. When I sleep I'm...

Could be, have had many doctors tell me it's anxiety. They have put me on on, oh, about 12 different anti anxiety medications, they do nothing at all. They sent me to therapy. Therapist and psychologist are very confused. A lot of things don't make sense (Without going into a long explanation)...

I've been on .5mg of Clonazepam and I can say it quites down my T. The thing is not letting your body get use to a certain dose.

Thank you for your kind replies. Everyone believes my T is anxiety and stress related. I struggled with anxiety through my pregnancy.. terrified something bad would happen. The last 6 weeks were awful and looking back I was depressed. I had terrible digestive issues and could barely eat and...

It's going to get better! You have to be patient. You JUST did the injections. You can get hearing back, and it can go away! Why don't you try the chat? Talk to other members here, it did me so much good just to have a chat with some of the members.

...left side sets in and the inside of my ear gets hotter...and T louder. My left jaw feels swollen. Also I have neck and shoulder pain...Anti anxiety seems to help me reduce the edge. Any hope for me ? Or am I doomed to be hooked to anti anxiety all my life ? anybody else has the same...

My ENT told me to live with it ,gave me a prescription for anti anxiety and made me promise I would not take them all at once and kill myself " A lot of people do that !" ... I was not even aware of that ever happening and the thought had not crossed my mind. Weird dude... hehe :P

Hello Joe, I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. And it’s really, really, really hard when you’re new to it. Interestingly, what I get in the morning is not always what I end up with during the day. But it depends. Sometimes it is. I do find that when I first wake up in the morning...

So then what is my next move ? who should i go to for some help ? i'm taking anti anxiety tablets and antidepressants.

...take 1/2 the dosage (25drops) suggested for sleep and maybe 1/2 (10 drops) that if I experience anxiety during the day. It is in my Arsenal to cope with T. It was suggested to me by my Nurse Practitioner. You don't want to use it with other anti anxiety drugs however, but it is great in...
