    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    I've recently tried Rivotril (Clonazepam) and it did reduce the loudness of my tinnitus. I'd say by 25-30%. I won't continue as I've pretty much habituated to it but I'll keep it in case of a major setback.

    Hyperacusis Cured/Reduced by Clomipramine

    Heya guys! Just an update about Clomipramine. I had successfully tapered it and eventually stopped taking it. But I had a major setback in late January, worsened by either COVID-19 or the flu. Burning pain in both ears, to the point I remembered what I read somewhere on the Internet about...

    Third Time's the Charm → Tinnitus, Hyperacusis and Pain → Clomipramine Was a Game Changer

    Heya, and sorry for the late response, I most likely saw your message but forgot to answer! For the most part of 2022, my hyperacusis was quite painful: I often had a burning sensation, descending from my ear to jaw, sometimes neck, and more rarely, my eye. I also often had an itch in my ear...

    Hyperacusis Cured/Reduced by Clomipramine

    I got lucky and didn't experience many side effects: mostly dry mouth, heavy sweating, obviously a hard time to climax (as always with antidepressants), and a bit of constipation and urinary issues (if I'm not mistaken, that's because Clomipramine has atropinic effects). I had had hyperacusis...

    Hyperacusis Cured/Reduced by Clomipramine

    Yes, sorry if I was unclear. After my trauma, I did have pain hyperacusis (mostly burning sensation descending from the ear to my jaw and neck, sometimes even behind my eye, plus the usual aural fullness, nose congestion, etc.). And it started to improve once I started taking Clomipramine...

    Hyperacusis Cured/Reduced by Clomipramine

    Actually, I started at 30 mg but gradually increased the dosage up to 150 mg. I stayed there for a few months, then started to gradually decrease the dosage.

    Hyperacusis Cured/Reduced by Clomipramine

    Hey there, I'd say it depends on how intense your hyperacusis is, how much pain you're going through and how efficient Clomipramine would prove in your case; of course, that would require to take Clomipramine long enough to see if it works! I know how it feels as I went through the same but...

    Hyperacusis Cured/Reduced by Clomipramine

    Heya everyone! After 15 months on Clomipramine, I'm about to stop it. Right now, I'm on 10 mg a day (mornings only), less than the 30 mg I used to take when I started in August 2022. My tinnitus has decreased quite a lot, which is both expected, as it was boosted by Clomipramine, like most...

    Reactive Tinnitus and Flying on an Airplane

    We stayed almost two weeks in Romania, mostly in Bucharest, which is a noisy city. Also, I've got a 18-month daughter, who's not the most quiet member of the family! My ears did not get much rest in between both flights. I tried to "damage control" the best I could with either Aspirin or...

    Reactive Tinnitus and Flying on an Airplane

    For what it's worth, I recently flew on a rather short trip, from France to Romania and back. I was sitting in front of the engines, both times. I was using my usual in-ear protections (25 dB reduction). The sound wasn't an issue. In fact, it was less loud than I expected. The biggest issue was...

    Third Time's the Charm → Tinnitus, Hyperacusis and Pain → Clomipramine Was a Game Changer

    Heya, This is my view on things, and it's highly subjective; but from February to August, my hyperacusis pretty much stayed the same, with a few improvements, mostly due to time spent in silence, and a lot of setbacks. That said, once I started taking Clomipramine, the first effect I noticed...

    Third Time's the Charm → Tinnitus, Hyperacusis and Pain → Clomipramine Was a Game Changer

    Hello everyone! I first got tinnitus and hyperacusis in January 2009, while using a headset. I was recording myself on a computer and, while trying to adjust the volume on Windows XP panel, I forgot about the slider that produces a "ting" to show you how loud (or quiet) the volume is. Sadly, it...
