    My Tinnitus Got Better — My Experience with Prednisone, Gabapentin, Acamprosate and Kudzu Root

    I was on Amitriptyline for just a couple days. Boosting Serotonin always spikes my tinnitus and according to this OHSU study, I am not alone. Serotonin-induced tinnitus spikes are the reason I can't take nootropics like L-Theanine or 5-HTP, because they boost Serotonin. Gabapentin also boosts...

    My Tinnitus Got Better — My Experience with Prednisone, Gabapentin, Acamprosate and Kudzu Root

    So real quick... I first noticed tinnitus after my 3rd car wreck with whiplash (t-boned once, rear ended twice). On a scale of 1-10 it was a 2, just a nuisance. I only noticed it in quiet rooms or when somebody said the word tinnitus. After getting the COVID-19 booster shot in November 2021 I...

    Tinnitus Masking: Bone Conduction Headphones (e.g., Aftershokz) — Share Your Experience

    I just bought the latest Aftershokz Aeropex model, smaller and more comfortable than anything out there. Beware of the under $50 so called bone conduction headsets, these are just earbud speakers that don't go in your ears, most reviews on Amazon will say they work great but anyone sitting...

    Tinnitus Masking: In-Ear Maskers

    I avoid putting anything in my ears. They cause fluid buildup, pain and infections. So at night I wear a Bluetooth sidesleeper headphone headset and listen to my "binaural beats neuromodulated" YouTube videos to fall asleep (I download them and converted them to mp3s). The speakers are thin...

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    I just finally met my GP for the first time. His entire staff were Nurse Practitioners who all quit on him. Tough time in the medical field here in the US. I have family and friends who want out badly. Anyway, I'm being switched from Xanax and beta blocker Metoprolol, to Ativan and Propranolol...

    Best / Safest Blood Pressure Medication with Tinnitus?

    L-Arginine is a natural vasodilator, but like all natural supplements, it's not as dependency-inducing as a pharma drug. Trust me, it does work, but when I used it, I had to monitor my blood pressure a few times a day and take them as needed. One word on L-Arginine, it's an amino acid, and for...

    Guillain-Barre Symptoms & Severe Tinnitus Spike After Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Booster

    So I had the COVID-19 booster in November 2021, the same day I had a reaction with pins & needles in my arms, legs, hands & feet falling asleep, it still comes and goes and I still have some nephropathy that's getting worse. Worst thing was a few days later I got a severe spike in my...

    Guillain-Barre Symptoms & Severe Tinnitus Spike After Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Booster

    That is awful, to be almost free and then have it come back... My Upper Cervical doctor is trying to be positive and telling me the gains people had made but then lost after the vaccine, he said after a few months the bad stuff slowly went away and most were feeling better again. All we can do...

    Guillain-Barre Symptoms & Severe Tinnitus Spike After Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Booster

    Thank you all for taking the time to read my post and reply with kind words and support. I totally agree about the anxiety, it's been an issue for me for several years stemming from PTSD. In 2015/16 I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and have been using a CPAP ever since, around the same time I...

    Anyone Had Tinnitus Relief with TMJD Treatment?

    My tinnitus also gets worse when moving my neck from side to side and yawning and I also have sleep apnea. I had no idea sleep apnea can cause TMJ, or lead to tinnitus. I'm using an auto CPAP but I'm waking up nightly from panic attacks due to nightly sleep apneas around 3am (I know this from...

    Guillain-Barre Symptoms & Severe Tinnitus Spike After Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Booster

    So tinnitus has many parents, as a young man I worked in factories and nightclubs, went to concerts, neck injuries from 3 car accidents, NSAIDs, BP meds, beta-blockers and benzos, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics. I also may have mild TMJ, and have had lifelong issues with fluid/congestion in...
