    Never Thought I'd Be Here

    I truly never thought I would be writing here in the Success Story part of the forum. Take a look at this post from a little less than a year back to see how dire my situation was Considering Ending My Life. This is serious shit. I would come on here and write about how the tinnitus has...

    Lithium Possibly Helping Tinnitus — Feeling Hopeful

    Hey folks. I've been on and off this board for two and a half years now and have had quite the journey with tinnitus. Mine was caused and then exacerbated by psych meds, specifically Wellbutrin, Lamictal, and Tegretol. At one point I had the miracle of it going away for a few months, but upon...

    I Need a Psychiatrist in NYC

    Can anyone please recommend a psychiatrist who understands tinnitus in New York City or the surrounding areas? My tinnitus was psychiatrically-induced by my former doctor's negligence and lack of thought given to the risk of tinnitus from psychoactive drugs. Any suggestions would be very...

    Do I Tell My Psychiatrist She Ruined My Life?

    I have posted my story elsewhere. The gift of severe tinnitus was given to me by my psychiatrist. First she prescribed me Lamictal, which took my moderate tinnitus to a severe level. By some miracle it got better after a year. Then I made the mistake of taking her prescription of Tegretol -...

    I am in quite the difficult place here. I have been in some form of depression for the past 11 months. I made some bad decisions in life that led to my entire world crashing down. Prior to this I had the best 4 months of my life, as my severe tinnitus somehow vanished. I was given a second...

    Considering Ending My Life

    It has been 7 months now since my severe tinnitus returned due to being prescribed Tegretol and I am feeling very hopeless. Every waking moment of every day is one of suffering and there is no end in sight. The sad irony of my situation is that my tinnitus was caused by medications that were...

    In Crisis

    Hello folks. Over the past couple years I've come and gone on these boards. A few months back I was going to come post in the Success Stories because a miracle occurred in my life. Unfortunately, that miracle has been undone and I find myself in a state of crisis. I've told my story before...

    Frustrated. I'm Going to Make Myself a Guinea Pig.

    It has been a long time since I have posted on here or any other message boards (Daily Strength, Yuku, etc.) but I feel like I am reaching a breaking point. Long story short I have unilateral (left), constant, loud piercing tinnitus. I am 29 years old and it has a chokehold on my life. My...

    Wellbutrin -> Lamictal — Bad to Worse

    I introduced myself in that forum and went into more detail, but wanted to give a theory for possible treatment for myself. I had a very, very mild tinnitus in my left since my teens. In 2008 it was exacerbated to a moderate level thanks to Wellbutrin. In 2013 it has now been exacerbated to a...

    Drug-Induced, Taken to the Next Level

    Hello all. I'm no newbie to the suffering of tinnitus. In October 2008 (age 22) I had my first depressive episode and was put on Wellbutrin. Before starting I had a very mild tinnitus in my left ear that was not bothersome in the least. After only 2 weeks of being on it the tinnitus was...
