As many of you may or may not know, I have had tinnitus (some pulsatile, various other tones) in both my ears since April 2014. I just woke up with it, nothing I did in those past days could have triggered it. I went to any doctor that would listen. I tried a gigantic list of medications both...

LOL, salty. And no, I don't care. I'm enjoying some totally peaceful days lately, it might very well be from stem cells or God coming down and stopping these moth** fuck*** bullets - and that's all I care about. I'm out. Best of luck to you all and I mean that from my heart, because I've been...

Yeap. I've posted in the relevant thread. 700 huh? I don't know if that's a lot - or a drop in the ocean. But as I said, good luck to everyone, hope this thing works some sorcery. :)

Uh, just in time that I'm habituating or the stem cells are working. Doesn't matter, I'll spend those 2500$ eating unhealthy foods. And a word of caution, take it or leave it: just like myself, you're basically going to be paying a somewhat large sum of money to become beta testers. There aren't...

I don't really use the forum all that much lately, but since there is a quite a bit of interest (looking at my private messages) - I guess it's short update time. Bottom line, there is a slight improvement but not really anything to write home about. Do something else with your money. I've had...

Time for an update I guess. I won't rumble, just a bottom line. If you got the cash (and you know it's a lot of cash) and you got a good job, a supporting family, chances you won't go bankrupt etc, read, learn, read again on the subject and decide if you want to take a chance. Because you're...

Sure, that is the plan. A monthly (or bi-monthly, if I'm bored) update on the situation. For now, I can happily say that my tinnitus is hiding itself for quite a few days to call it a fluctuation. I think this stuff might actually be doing something.

I feel it is time for an update, since it's actually been three months since my treatment. They actually give you various supplements (an entire bag of them) for three months - and I've religiously taken all that stuff (with minor exceptions and inconsistencies) every day. And now the...

I am doing the same. People, u need to use your heads on this. Maybe stem cells are a thing, maybe they will work some sorcery in 6-12-18 months, maybe they were just simple injections of natural serum with some color additive, presented to the patient in order to extract some thousands of...

Today it has been really quiet. Yesterday it was a bit annoying. It's fluctuating. But it's only been a month, obviously I don't expect to see any real progress so soon.

Been there. It also helps me, temporarily. Used to drink either whiskey or rum before sleep, just to get a good volume reduction (and a nice buzz). But in the long run, they just f*** you up and the next day hangover is no fun. So my alcoholic run lasted for about two months, guess I wised up -...

@jer the cause is undecided :) I just woke up one day and it was there.

I've always slept in silence. Even during the early days. I can't stand relaxation songs, white noise, pink noise, noise machines, fans, anything at all. My tinnitus would put me to sleep (y) and then wake me up in the middle of the night (n) Nowadays, I don't give a crap. I just sleep...

@jer sure, I'll post an update from time to time.

Actually no, my hearing is pretty much what it should be for my age according to all the audiograms I've had (up to 16KHz), therefore I don't really care if it improves or not. Hearing was never a problem for me, I hear just as well as before tinnitus started so I don't intend on monitoring my...

I'm just fine. Thanks to everyone who cared to leave a like or ask how I'm doing. I went to Bangkok with my tinnitus pretty much stuck at 4-6/10 for months. Maybe I've had 2 or 3 good days in those months. In the first 2-3 years of having T, it fluctuated constantly, sometimes having (almost)...

I am now one of the member forums that has gone through the whole stem cell shenanigans at Bangkok, at StemCells21. 100 millions MSCs are now circulating close to my butt and all other areas of my body, so if anyone has any questions about their current tinnitus protocol, I suppose I could...

Did you try to start it again? If you've been on it for 30 years, maybe you got T 15 years ago and the drug was keeping it at bay. I'm not saying it's a good idea, if you can manage your T without drugs - don't do them. But if it's a small dosage and it helps, maybe you should consider taking...

Weaning off Klonopin and stopping Phenibut cold turkey is not such a great strategy for tinnitus. These chemicals control GABA in the brain and any sudden change in dosages (for either drug) may be bad news. There are a lot of stories here from people on benzodiazepines (like Klonopin) who got T...

I don't log in here as much as I used to, I was quite active when Danny was at his worst, we talked a couple of times, mostly about Trobalt if I remember correctly. He gave me the impression of a person who contradicts himself constantly but that was part of his character. I liked him, I cannot...

Sleep comes with time. Don't expect to get any decent sleep for a couple of years (if your T persists). Nowadays I sleep just fine and my tinnitus is louder than when it started.

Ok, they found that pulsatile tinnitus correlates with abnormal blood flow. And I think people with PT know they have PT. Duh. You don't need a 3 Tesla magnetic resonance scanner to get to that conclusion, any person in here could probably speculate that. And no suggestion or thoughts about...

There is no medicine/cure for tinnitus. This is the most profound fact scattered around this forum and this entire site. Very useful post by the original poster and kudos to him/her - but nothing works. Take it from someone who has tried almost 95% of what's written above. And find the posts...

That's kinda depressing. Maybe add some cushions to the bench, doesn't your ass get sore sitting on wood all that time? And maybe use that water hose to shoot water to by-passers. That'd be fun.

Tuning forks were used in the 20s to diagnose neurological disorders. They are also used today before the doc sends you for a ct or an mri if he/she detects something suspicious. I highly and seriously doubt they are more effective for tinnitus than repeatedly hitting your genitals with a...

A couple of glasses (maybe three, what the hell) of double whiskey and you'll be sleeping like a baby for hours. Sleep medications have a very short half life so you'll be waking up and re-dosing in the middle of the night. Plus, they are way less fun and equally dangerous to alcohol - and more...

@Gl0w0ut are you ok with having a heart issue and taking adderall? Seems like a strange combo...

Makes your poop real soft. Does not do much for tinnitus unless you have a deficiency - which is kinda hard, lots of foods contain magnesium.

Yeah, my t has also changed a lot, starting as a hum, going to a higher frequency, then becoming a head noise, now it's kinda like electricity in the back of my head. And many stages in between, at a point you get bored of counting and monitoring and just move on. I wouldn't call it enrichment...

Yeap, prednisone. Asap.

Loud sounds are gonna be big part of a long life ahead of you. Take something safe for your anxiety and... you're 15, try to avoid the loudest of noises as much as possible and it will possibly heal on it's own in 2-3 months time

I believe it was a bad idea stopping zoloft cold turkey after 6 months. Didn't your therapist suggest a slow taper so your brain can re-adjust itself in a more proper manner? Sertraline (and quite a lot of other ADs) are total brain f@ckers, you should know that.

Dr. Spectra? Is he on MI5's wanted list?

What's so hard to understand? The hair cells are dead, deceased, as in not functioning. No external stimuli will bring them back from the dead, they are not in a state of limbo or zombies, just dead. Nothing will prolong the functionality of a dead human organ. There are lots of apps and...

You have to work out almost to your threshold of pain for endorphine release. That's why endorphines are released: to help with pain, like getting some fentanyl at a hospital after a surgery. So you need a very hard work-out refgimen to get your body to release dope. A couple of walks in the...

Phenibut is a bit of a GABA analogue, designed by russsian scientists to be a middle ground betweeen the actual muscle building GABA and phenazepam (a benzodiazepin, much like Valium). Don't read too many horror stories about it, if you're already a bit of a clonazepam junkie, Phenibut will do...

Looking forward to being 90 and really start enjoying life. Just 50 more years.

Your pharmacist is either a son of a bitch or simply after a simpletons money. Or not a pharmacist. Sorry for the harsh language, this has been discussed to death, the pharmaceutical GABA is for body enchancment and body builders. The molecule will not pass the blood brain barrier. Any other...

Even 2 tots are way healthier I'd say, @Louise

@sharonr I always wondered why people ask this sort of questions? How is ANYONE supposed to know that unless they've been testing the procedure for like 10-15 years or have a time machine and been to the the future. If a nerve is not intracting with dead or inactive hair cells, it is not going...

After extesnsive reseatch on the subject, i've come to the following scientific conclusions: - Red wine is bad. - Any cheap whiskey (40% alcohol) will get you to silence after 2-3 glasses. If you are not poor, a higher quality whiskey will also entertain you. Personally i cannot stand its taste...

This. You're young, young people have a tremendous advantage at healing. Get rid of the headphones. If they play loud music at the gym, go practice outside, it's the same thing without the subscription.

Cause it won't work, just like any other promising research drug combo. What we need is a specific t drug, not some random combinations that might make sense in a researcher's head.

Not sure if I should post this... I found a YT video some time ago, the person who made obviously knows his(her) meds but is a bit on the wild side. All I can tell you is that it works, cause I've tried everything and I thought I was immune to drugs nowadays - boy was I wrong. It had me...

I'll have to disagree with about 99% of what you wrote. It's true that lots of ENTs will prescribe Amitriptyline and Nortriptyline for severe tinnitus and for a very-tiny-small amount of the population these drugs may reduce tinnitus by a small to medium degree (not permanently). But benzos...

Best thing that happened in your life. Go thank your ENT. Amitriptilyline is a crutch and a bad one at that.

Here, here @Ambassador. Tinnitus is a bitch in the first couple of years as far as sleep is concerned. Then it becomes a lullaby. I use nothing for sleep and i have my old pre-tinnitus sleeping pattern going again. If you MUST use something, just get some melatonin. 1mg is more than enough, 1...

Both gabapentin and lyrica do nothing for tinnitus. But they are powerful central nervous system depressants and can make one care fuck all about t. If i had to choose though, i'd take gabapentin. Better high at a lower dose (well, dosages are kinda open to debate, 50mg Lyrica is about 250-300mg...

What makes anyone think that any of these treatments are going to be effective? Especially that dexamethasone thing for menieres... That must have been tried for the first time around the middle ages and about a billion times after that. It's cortisone ffs. I guess hope is hope - and so is a big...

I hardly post here anymore but i couldn't help myself reading your post. Do you know the easiest way for your body to burn ketones (as in go full ketogenic)...? Answer: you simply become a raging alcoholic. I'd like to cite some sources but i'm outta here.

Yeah, take that valium and go for a drive, that will sort you out, probably the neighbors fence as well :) Best.Advice.Ever.

I haven't been on this forum for a while, I'm basically completely indifferent to my tinnitus nowadays - but from all the drugs I've tried (and I've tried A LOT) the benzos were truly magnificent and a standout. I love them and I miss them. Kinda like I miss a good chocolate bar. If I feel like...

Getting steroids is not a proper phrasing for what you are after. The proper word is corticosteroids, drugs that affect the production of cortisol in your system. Cortisol is a hormone, essential for your well being. However, anecdotal evidence shows that it might be effective for hearing loss /...

This is fantastic. Hope it lasts forever. For now, just watch Walking Dead in silence and keep protecting those ears.

As I suspected, the tinnitus is getting a tiny bit louder today - but that's to be expected. It's still very low though. Totally weird. The combo kept (and keeps) the ringing extremely low for more than 24 hours. Quite a bit more actually. This sh:bag:t is good. Tegretol (Carbamazepine) is...

Next Day Update: Ok, the drunk walking is gone and I can speak like a normal person but the tinnitus is still pretty much gone. There is a very slight hiss but it's not bothersome in any way. I believe its gonna get louder but that's just a hunch, I'll wait and see. I'm certainly not cured but...

Ok, for some reason, I decided to give Tegretol another shot. My tinnitus was kinda bothersome in the morning, so I took about 500 mg Tegretol. I decided to combine it with Lyrica (Pregabalin), I took around 200-250 mg of that dope. I mixed some Flupirtine as well (100 mg, a very small dose)...

That's a good question. I asked some random pharmacies, they never heard of it. I found it on an on-line Greek e-shop, I'm thinking about ordering it. You will probably find it on Amazon or some other on-line shop in your country. It is actually hard to find.

Very interesting. I always thought that cortisol has some connection with anxiety, probably tinnitus as well. I don't think that any medical professional would recommend messing with such an important hormone but there is a product (a supplement basically) called Lactium which is supposed to be...

@Oli that's kinda harsh. Doesn't really matter if its a delusion or a fairy tale. If it gets the job done, then you go with it.
