That's the plan for this year! I'm having total joint replacement for my right condyle and upper and lower jaw surgery. Even if it doesnt take away the tinnitus, my jaw will work properly so I cant complain :)

Yeah, I dont think I am going to take it. The doctors dont see the risks. And thank for your support :)

Yeah, I guess I cant know for sure what caused it or what caused the recent change. Has it taken you a long time to get used to the new tones? It took me about 4 months to be able to accept tinnitus and be able to sleep without being in flight or fight mode.

From what I read, a lot of people have taken it for tinnitus although tinnitus is listed as a rare side effect. The thing is that I do have tmj issues on that side. My meniscus is damaged and out of place. That ear is my worse ear because I also have ttts. I guess there are too many factors.

I got tinnitus back in November from what I think was an ototoxic med (gabapentin). I wanted to kill myself. It was bad. Then I habituated and was able to sleep without masking and take naps again. It was all going great... I had cerebellum surgery 10 days ago and after the surgery the tinnitus...

I got tinnitus from taking diazepam and adding 1 dose of gabapentin. After that the ringing, hyperacusis, and ttts started. In the beginning the sound was constantly changing. It was always static along with crickets, bells, high pitch tones. This went on for the first 2 months and then it...

Benzo withdrawal worsens tinnitus if you quit cold turkey or too fast. From what I've experienced, benzos dont really quiet the tinnitus. But instead calm my anxiety and I dont notice it as much. I dont know if this is just for me or benzos really quiet the tinnitus.

He said I should just stop it. Which sounds pretty crazy! He had also recommended a started dose of 2 mg...so I know I shouldn't listen to him much. 6-8 weeks sounds a little more realistic. I'll try making a schedule for it. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I need some advice since my physician wasn't much help. I've been taking Klonopin for about 2 months, .5 mg in the morning and .5 mg at night. I don't want to make tinnitus worse by withdrawing too fast but I also want to stop taking it as soon as possible. Does anyone have any...

If you can get down to Texas, you can live in my house. I know what it is like to feel like you have nowhere to go :(

Did this ever improve for you? I also have this and it drives me crazy! I havent found much info on it, though. I plan to ask a maxilofacial surgeon I know about it. He treats innervation of the face so hopefully he gives me some answers.

I'm interested in this as well.

This might or might not help but I think it is worth a shot. I've always had terrible heartburn from being a typical Mexican who eats all the spicy foods. Ever since the onset of tinnitus, I've cut back on all ototoxic meds (my T was from a combination of diazepam and gabapentin) so that meant...

Hi Stacey! Did you ever take Nitro or any other antibiotic for the UTI? I'm in the same position :(

I was like that for my first month. It has been 2 and a half now. The anxiety from hearing the ringing would wake me up over and over again. It has been improving, though. I use a water stream video to mask the T and a pillow speaker so I'm able to sleep on my side. I dont want to take sleep...

They think we are completely mental. And then they judge you for it lol It just sucks that there are very few medications that are safe for tinnitus sufferers. Update in case anyone needs to know about the antibiotics: I took Fosfomycin and the T spiked real loud for about 1 day then it went...

I did but he says that's I shouldn't be paranoid of medicines. And this is coming from a doctor who also has tinnitus.

I researched Fosfomycin and according to google it is not an aminoglycoside even though it still ends with "mycin". Supposedly, it is a completely different class of antibiotic. I'm not sure what to think.

Hi everyone! So I've had tinnitus for about 2 months. I believe my tinnitus is due to ototoxic medications. My plan was to stay as far away as I can from medications but I was just diagnosed with a UTI yesterday. My doctor gave me a choice of Fosfomycin (1 dose) or Norfloxacin (for 8 days). I...

Hi everyone! Does anyone have any success stories where they have seen an improvement or even a complete fading of tinnitus that was induced from ototoxic meds? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I just started experiencing hyperacusis. Every little sound seems to hurt and make a thumping sound in my ear. Utensils on a plate, people coughing, opening a can, doors opening are all very distressing. I'm not sure if I should put on earplugs for little sounds like that or only...

I've had tinnitus for 1.5 months and although I'm working on accepting it I've been asking people that I know about their tinnitus. So far 3 people that I know have had their tinnitus disappear. 1. My grandma had tinnitus for about 10 years! She said got it after a time with a lot of stress...

Thank you for your replies. @Bill Bauer I appreciate the links of the studies. I hadnt been able to find a lot of information on the numbers of people who actually get better. I havent experienced any improvement or change in the tinnitus. It does seem like the hyperacusis is worse on some days...

Hi everyone! I've been lurking here for a while now so I'll introduce myself My tinnitus started back in the middle of November. At the time I was taking Diazepam as a muscle relaxant for a few other problems I was having and my doctor recommended Gabapentin. I took 1 single 300 mg dose. The...
