@Janis So you didn't contract tinnitus until after you started taking Medrol?

Hello, all. I have been absent from these forums for over a year. I have, for the most part, habituated to this horrible condition. I was just prescribed 4 mg Medrol (Methylprednisolone) for an upper respiratory infection due to my unwillingness to take antibiotics (one of the possible...

Glynis-- Praying and hoping for your recovery! I don't post often here but I just wanted to wish you the best. You have a great presence here and are an inspiration to all! Hang in there-Wishing you all the best! --Jim

Hello, all. I have been absent from this site for some time. My tinnitus problems greatly reduced after I took Prednisone for two weeks in November 2015. The tinnitus didn't disappear, it simply became more tolerable to me. I was able to return to work without any future disruption but I have...

@Ecip - My H still appears to be slightly better. The T is still present, but I *may* just be getting used to it more. I don't know if 45 days is anywhere long enough into this condition to even remotely claim to be on the path to habituation. I cannot prove that the Prednisone helped me, but...

Took my final dose of Prednisone yesterday. Does anyone know if your body happens to go through any kind of withdrawal after taking it for two weeks? I had a brief sweating spell yesterday, and I continue to have brief headaches (usually centered in the back of lower head, near the neck)...

Another Prednisone update: The louder hissing seemed to rebound from its spike about 24-36 hours after the MRI. Brief headaches continue. Occasional light fatigue spells don not last long. Wish I could have a nice hot cup of coffee to wake up most mornings :) Still taking NO sleeping meds...

A brief belated Prednisone update-- occasional headaches continue, but not taking anything (i.e. Tylenol) for them. I do not appear to have any loss of appetite to speak of. No longer having constipation. I had an MRI two days ago and experienced a slightly louder hissing in the ears for over a...

Update: Day 5 on the Prednisone. H still seems a little better, while the T seems (mostly) unchanged. Sleeping continues to be a slight problem, but got about 5 uninterrupted hours last night. Sweating has stopped completely. I had a headache a couple of nights ago-not sure if that is common...

Update after Day 2: Cannot really tell if the Prednisone has any effect on my T. If so, it is only dropping it slightly. However, my H seems to have dropped considerably. Sweating spells have minimized since Saturday. Sleeping has become slightly more difficult. Hard to get comfortable in...

@Atlantis I will do that!

@Atlantis Thanks. Took the first dose this morning. Only noticeable effect I've noticed so far: I've had a couple of temporary sweating spells. Can't tell if I've had an actual small T spike or if I'm just imagining it.

Hello. I am still freaking out over medications I have been prescribed. Saw a second ENT today. Much more professional than the first one I visited. My T initially began on 9/23. It went away after a few days but returned to stay 10 days later. This new ENT wants me to take Prednisone. The...

But isn't ambien also ototoxic?

Several weeks into my bout with T, I have become reliant on Benadryl or Tylenol PM in order to sleep. Every night is unpredictable. Fall asleep within an hour some nights, seemingly up for 3-4 hours others, and when sleep finally occurs, it is a mere twilight, with waking spells usually each...

So--if Pepto (and Alka-Seltzer) are bad if you have tinnitus, is there anything out there which can cure digestive ills for tinnitus sufferers???

Can anyone specify whether or not if any of these are considered to be ototoxic? 1. Cheratussin (guaifenesin) 2. Levofloxacin (levaquin) 3. Clarithromycin (Biaxin XL 500 mg) 4. Nasonex (mometazone) 5. Afrin (decongestant spray) I was taking Cheratussin (guaifenesin) regularly for over a...

billie48-- sorry for the confusion. No. I am usually getting between 2 and 5 hours of sleep a night. I think my kidneys may be responsible for waking me up b/c the water I take for the TylenolPM has been sitting inside me for upwards of 7 hours. Did a little better overnight. Asleep by 3:30...

RoeB, Kara77-- Isn't ibuprofen considered to be extermely bad if you have T? My ENT gave me a list of things to avoid and ibuprofen was included. I am struggling to cope with this horrific condition (initial issues began about 3 weeks ago, incessant ear humming began ten days ago.).

Hello! I have had ear problems for almost 3 weeks now. It started after the Levofloxacin I was prescribed (for a bacterial & ear infection) appeared to cause ear-ringing. Stopped it, tone gradually went away. Got a 2nd script (Clarithromycin) (Biaxin XL 500 mg) from GP (still sick from...
