...a bit of Hyperacusis. I found Tinnitus after a period of stress and taking prescribed anti-depressants that were ototoxic to me, part of the Prozac family. I would say that my T is moderate from reading other entries on this forum, and I am feeling that this is the worst thing that has...

...my T & H literally opened flood gate of hell of relentless anxiety & panic attacks and I was overwhelmed. I had to depend on meds like Ativan, Prozac and sleeping pills to survive each long day. I thought I would never recover from this and I was suicidal. But after browsing through support...

...as it caved into panic before I was even fully awake & conscious enough to reason myself out of a panic attack. I had to survive on Ativan & Prozac just to make it through the day. What a dark, dark period of my life. Thanks heaven I am back to normal and drug free today. Tinnitus is not an...

...a year ago. It took me a while to even consider such a thing as I've tried many things to manage tinnitus such as acupuncture, st johns wart, prozac, lipoflavanoids (this is the only thing I use to this day as I believe it does have lower T to a degree). Other than the lipoflavanoids...

...it used to be that only professional psychologists could prescribe medications for various kinds of "mental disorders". With the advent of Prozac in 1987, teams of pharmaceutical sales representatives were sent out in droves with a number of various (often nefarious) incentives for doctors...

...like mine, what helped, what didn’t would be great. I tried Claritin D, which only made it 100% worse. I also recently came off a low dose of Prozac which I had only been on for 3 weeks so I’m not sure if the new hissing sound is from that. Permanent or not?! So many variables, I’m not sure...

...with a slice difference in frequency. I dont know if this was a factor of aggravation since Ive read some bad things about it but I was on Prozac for my OCD a long time but had stop 4 month before the onset of T (not cold turkey) because I was feeling like a robot. I am now with the ringing...

Hi Danny, No I never tried St Johns wort. To be honest I am pretty sure, as well as my dr and therapist believe that I need the lexapro, St Johns wort seems to work for mild-moderate depression. I am one who believes SSRI's get a bad rap, like many meds, you only hear the bad, the people who...

...of will power or forum support could stop the adverse reactions for me. So I had to depend on meds to survive. I took Ativan for anxiety, Prozac for depression and some sleeping pills. When I realized something could stop my horrible panic attacks and other hurtful sensations, I began to have...

...give you the anti-anxiety drugs for treating the anxiety. During my darkest days, I had no choice but to take Ativan (a benzo for anxiety), Prozac (anti-depressant for depression and for stopping the panic attacks), as well as some sleep meds which I don't remember the name. You can phase out...

...on when I'm in a quiet room. I am very afraid that this ringing/hissing will be chronic. Of course, I do have OCD, too. I went off of Prozac 2 months ago and have been doing a good job in managing my anxiety. BUT, even though I've done a lot of work on managing my anxiety and obsessing...

...we don't know to much about your type of tinnitus really pissed me off, it's just so frustrating, when I first got tinnitus my GP put me on Prozac, I have never taken antidepressants in my life, so I gave them a go, Big mistake for me, I got really bad side affects, in fact I was probably at...

...anti-anxiety meds are short term. I don't think there is a problem if you keep it at a low dose, especially for sleep. Usually an SSRI (Prozac, Zoloft,...blah-blah-blah) is given for anxiety, depression or obsessive compulsive thoughts. These take at least a week to kick in. They work. I...

...your input here ...Why did you stop taking Zoloft?) For those of you who have never taken an SSRI anti-depressant, such as Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac....they function by increasing seratonin. "SSRI" stands for "Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitor" (of course). Typically it takes about a month...

...I'm currently hedging my bets on. For all I know, the Buspar could have weakened my auditory system, though. I'm still unsure. I had been on Prozac and Lamictal for years throughout my 20s (I'm 31). I'm taking Magnesium glycinate, NAC (I took NAC for years prior for anxiety and OCD)...

...the treatments were working but it didn't last long. Also worth noting: I have been using antidepressants since 2005, mostly Fluoxetine (Prozac). One of the hospital doctors told me that perhaps we could try to changing it and I did for a few weeks in September 2020 switching to Paroxetine...

...and go from there. That Seroquel is so sedating I couldn't take it. I felt like a zombie. Also I doubt the increase is permanent. I also took Prozac @ 80mg which is the highest dose anyone takes and I never had any tinnitus from it. I took it for five or six years at that dose. I guess...

...a cross tapering from clomipramine). I endured 3 months without any AD, until my OCD and anxiety started skyrocketing. I was then put on Prozac for more than a month with a raise from 20 to 40mg. Man, the anxiety was unbearable: I was almost unzipping myself out of my skin, I was in a...

...reaction starts to fade. I've had a situation similar to yours. Years ago, I experienced extremely severe tinnitus due to antidepressants (Prozac). It was hell on earth. I remember at the beginning I couldn't figure out where the electric wire sound was coming from: was it the TV? Was it a...

...1 and younger were given psychiatric drugs — Of these, 249,699 were on anti-anxiety meds like Xanax; 26,406 were on antidepressants such as Prozac or Paxil, 1,422 were on ADHD drugs such as Ritalin and Adderall, and 654 were on antipsychotics such as Risperdal and Zyprexa In the toddler...

...not automatically make someone ineligible to participate. It would be at the discretion of the doctor in charge of the trial. I stopped taking Prozac just before Christmas but the doctor implied that even if I was still taking it, I would not necessarily have been excluded because of that...

Wow Billie; what a testimony! Thanx for sharing (and I agree with you 100%) Mark

...the loss of your lovely cat will ease also. As for the drugs for the control of anxiety & panic attacks, I have tried Ativan for anxiety & Prozac for panic attacks & depression. I also tried amitriptyline. I think I have taken Xanax for a time too. I would say non of them have made my T...

Hi Billie. It is always great reading your replies. It is really how you react to something. I was just outside for a walk and I had some minutes where I didn't care about T. I felt completely different and better during those minutes. So once we no longer react to T and accept it, things will...

...panic attacks on auto mode before I was fully awake enough to reason myself out of these attacks. I had to immediately reach for meds, Ativan, Prozac & what have u whenever my loud T woke me up. No amount of will power could stop this process, so much so that I was worrying my doom would be a...

...in many ways. Its importance is demonstrated by the recent explosion in use of fluvoxamine, a " selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor" like Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloftsuch, for treating depression-related emotional disorders. Low levels of serotonin have been linked to a variety of disorders...

...highlighted that one so you might already be aware it's the most commercially promising. As for ZM-011, supposedly a lot of vets reach for Prozac for things like inappropriate urination but I was never one and didn't work with vets like that. Most of the time, inappropriate urination is...

Thank you nocticolor :) I was a bit sad to cut it all off as I spent a lot of time growing it, but I just couldn't handle it any longer - long hair is so frustrating! Slight bit of wind and it's all over my face, tie it up and it hurts my head, etc etc. I don't know how you ladies handle it. You...

...recognized by western science as being an incredibly powerful drug for treating depression and anxiety, without the horrible side effects of prozac etc. That said, if you are new to psychedelics, it will be a very challenging experience. I personally enjoy the challenging aspect of it but...

Touche. However, you're grossly misusing their own words and just because someone is famous in the world of people struggling with benzo addiction hardly makes them world renown. More like internet renowned, in a small group of people that happen to not agree with the 99 percent of other medical...

...in college but not more than any other college student. Have been going through an incredibly hard time in life in the past year, I am on prozac. ENT said nothing was wrong and Audiologist said I have amazing hearing, but a slight blip in hair cell function at 2000 HZ. She said this was...

...to help a bit, but not completely. My ears are still ringing like crazy. I am hoping this is temporary. I had a spike when I first got on Prozac as well and eventually at a certain dose it tapered off. It is reassuring to know that the doctor thinks tinnitus caused by medication will improve...

...panic attacks on auto mode, from the minute I woke up with the T screaming at ultra high pitch. Instantly I had to reach for the meds, Ativan, Prozac, just to help moderate the extremes of those mental attacks, just to survive each long, dark days. Of course, depression and sleeplessness set...

I got tinnitus from taking Amitriptyline which is a Tricyclic, I was taking a low does for pain for 2 weeks when my left ear started ringing. I stopped and it mostly went away a few days after. Came back when I tested it once again. Then set in constantly once I took a low dose of Valium and...

...I am just exhausted trying to talk to people that don't have the same problem (one co-worker keeps telling me it is all in my head, and I will get over it if I take Prozac-UGH). I need some reassurance and positive comments from people that know what I am going through. Thanks for listening!!

...after starting numerous meds at the same time (thank you, doctors, and myself for not having an opinion then), including the anti depressant PROZAC. When I switched to Zoloft 5 months later, the headache diminished by 75%, enough for me to basically forget about it, until I couldn't tolerate...

...of these are prescribed for a wide variety of bacterial infections, and both can cause hearing loss and tinnitus. Antidepressants, including Prozac, Elavil, Paxil, Zoloft and Celexa. Linked to ringing in the ears, or tinnitus. (Paradoxically, they are also often prescribed to relieve the...

Well that's very interesting. Do you have any hearing loss at all? Maybe a recent audiogram?

I don't understand the exclusion criteria for patients who use ADs. probably because ADs affect potassium channel? Prozac is also knowed like a ototoxic AD and with tinnitus activities but on pubmed i have found this: J Pharmacol Sci. 2008 Jan;106(1):38-45. Epub 2008 Jan 11. Open channel block...

...didn't even allow me a fighting chance while not really awake enough to reason or do something to avoid the attacks. I was sooo glad that Prozac eventually helped halted the attack symptoms and Ativan eased off the sharp edges of anxiety symptoms. Then at that point, I realized I have some...

...can indeed by quite addicting. But in my case, after TRT it took me less than three weeks to be completely off Xanax and also the Prozac that I was taking at the time. And I was on a LOT of Xanax each and every day, four times a day. I do not recall the exact dose, but I gave a pill to my pet...

...like most, i was in a proper mess, in fact i suppose on the verge of a nervous breakdown due to this imposter in my head, my GP put me on prozac, this made things worse for me, so i stopped that medication, i seemed to get bad side affects with this drug, i have been to see a specialist ENT...

...or mixtures of supplements really helped. Some like 5-HTP greatly improved my depression and anxiety to the point where I could drop my Prozac and Lexipro and never return to them to this day. The only solid thing that worked in the end for coping with my tinnitus was the passage of time...

Every time I see something pushed onto the public that clearly doesn't work (like gmail updates), I imagine the people behind these ideas desperately trying to justify their jobs (don't judge, I have actually done this) and this seems like one of those times. Psychiatrists/psychologists...

...are just too unpleasant as told by these folks who have come back to tell their stories. I had to depended on taking Ativan (a benzo) and Prozac (an antidepressant) and sleeping pills just to survive each day of relentless anxiety and panic attacks due to my having suffered prior condition...

...had to depend on drugs during the most difficult time when will power alone wasn't enough to stop or tame the suffering. I had to take Ativan, Prozac and sleeping pills just to survive each day because I had so many anxiety and panic attacks during the day and I had to use drugs just to...

...actually cause tinnitus? And if they do, at what level of prevalence? These questions stem from the following: Considering just Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro and Celexa, data from 2020 indicates that the total number of prescriptions in the US for these 4 SSRI was ~100M, and that involved a total...

...doctors can't help, but that our traumatic reaction to T seems very hard to tame down by sheer will power. That was why I had to use Ativan, Prozac and sleeping pills to survive the initial stage of my ultra high pitch T plus severe H. So don't worry too much about it. Crying is a good thing...

...but the absolutely can--and often do. Before taking any drugs, I'd advise just doing a quick online search, such as Benadryl and Tinnitus, or Prozac and Tinnitus, etc. Just like a hearing test, seemingly benign drugs can be a real problems for vulnerable ears. Since you don't know the...

...I've tried about every medicine under the sun for depression, including unconventional ones: I started with citalopram, then progressed to prozac, then to citalopram again, then to effexor, then to adderall, then to propanolol, then to wellbutrin, then to some antipsychotic I don't remember...

...medications from ENT – It can have some benefits (relaxing), but it won`t really improve T. - antidepressant – in my case it was Prozac – I do recommend it if you feel very depressed. I started to take Prozac in April. It definitely helped me to get through this very difficult period. I...

...dealing with GAD and insomnia for the last 6 years pre T and I have taken 10 different drugs for them like Paxera, Destreyl, Trankobuskas, Prozac, Stilizan, Seroquel... in different doses. The last drug I took was clonazepam 1 mg for sleep. I took it for 8 months and cold turkeyed it because...

...rooms. I'm sure it's because my mind got used to the noise and I just never noticed it. I use to have really bad panic attacks and was on prozac (10mg) for a couple of years a while back for something unrelated. I got back on it last month (again due to something unrelated/same dosage) and...

...but after a prolonged period of time, and with a combination of factors could be the culprit. Meds can be tricky. For example: I took Prozac for many years (on and off) with no problem whatsoever (since 2001). However, in 2009 I started taking it again, my psychiatrist increased the dosage...

...way. Animal rights, on the whole, are not given much more than lip service. People complain about animals being deafened or injected with Prozac analogs, and then many of these same people continue to eat industrially farmed meat. I would wager that the life of a typical lab animal is far...

...Yeah, I'm extremely stupid, I fell for the trap of pharmaceuticals thinking that they would help. I always hated taking any pill. I took Prozac for three days when I was 19 and it made me extremely ill with migraines, and that's why I never wanted to try an antidepressant ever again, and I...

...work? The doctors prescribed something for my insomnia and for calming the anxiety and depression. So daily I had to take Ativan (a benzo), Prozac (a SSRI anti-depressant), and sleeping pills which I forgot what brand it was. I had no choice but to depend on meds, as the first 6-8 months were...

Thanks so much. It's so nice to hear from people who are living normal lives and especially people who found it extremely tough at first (as I am currently). Interestingly, since I started getting tinnitus, I confided in some friends and family about my condition (by way of explanation of my...
