    It Will Get Better!

    I just quickly wanted to say it will get better. I went to the lowest point. Took two overdoses. Was in a mental health hospital for 6 weeks. But I made it. I still have my moments but I go to the movies again. I go to concerts again. And just saying I had the worst hyperacusis and it has...

    Ready to Go

    I've loved my life. And now it’s nothing. I’m nothing. I’m just here and the world is going on around me. The meds which I said I would never touch again has made my tinnitus & hyperacusis completely unbearable to live or sleep with. My relationship with my Dad is pretty much over. I want him...

    Frantic

    I don’t know what to do. Woke in the night after taking another of the pills the doc is trying to ween me off and tinnitus is out of control. None stop powerful drilling in my ears and it won’t stop. I’m all alone and if this is a spike that sticks I won’t make it to the end of the day it’s so...

    Could Use a Little Bit of Support

    Apologies for always complaining but my tinnitus & hyperacusis is so bad at the moment and who knows how long it will last or even calm down to it’s usual hideous level. It reacts to everything. And just gets louder. I didn’t want to get back into meds because it may have contributed to how I am...

    Advice on Mirtazapine — Can I Start Weaning Off Them by Breaking Them in Half?

    I’ve been taking Mirtazapine 30mg for about 3 and a half weeks. I’m not keen and I have very bad sound reactive Tinnitus and Hyperacusis. Life has been pure hell of late and I think I need to try the no more drugs route. Is it safe to begin breaking them in half now to start weaning off them...

    So Desperate! So Scared! Tinnitus Loud — Seeing an Audiologist Tomorrow

    I have to see an audiologist tomorrow about treatment but I don’t even know how I’m going to get through the night. Tinnitus is so loud and there are so many noises, plus the hyperacusis. I’m so scared I’ll never be me again because too much damage has been done. When it gets to full volume...

    First Week in Hospital Done

    Had medication spike. Now probably got another mess going on from an MRI. Truly getting to a point where I wanna just go out and make the most of the life I do have. Have CBT counselling coming up and being offered white mouse machine and other stuff. Tinnitus sounds like the highest...

    On the Brink

    Last night I ran out of my house and walked for 5 hours in the dark. Determined never to go home again. My plan was to lay down somewhere when it got dark and and cold and hopefully not wake up. This Sertraline spike is so bad and loud and intense. I feel debilitated. Then I hear a year...

    Please Bear with Me with This Post...

    I'm sick of myself. And I'm really sick of this loud nonstop ringing in my head and ears. Which I’m pretty sure was spiked by anti depressants, which seems like madness in itself. Over the last week I've become a shell of a human and all the colour has been sucked out of my world. It's put a...

    Did Your Ears Ring Louder When You Went Cold Turkey Off the Pills That Made It Louder Initially?

    Just wondered if anyone’s ears rang louder when they went cold turkey off the pills that were probably making them ring louder in the first place? Thank you.

    About as Down as I Can Get...

    I’m so down. What with beating and the ringing and the sensitivity I feel like I’ve had enough. My Mom died two years ago and more than once I’ve found myself asking her to come and get me. Or I’m just ready to do it myself and go to her. I'm fighting so hard to see the light and I just can’t...

    Just Wanted to Say...

    Hello :) I’ve had tinnitus for years but it’s got very bad since Xmas. My heart beat in my ears and now ringing loudly too. I feel very down at the moment I must admit but it’s lovely to find a forum like this. Makes you feel a little less alone when you can feel lonely in a room of a 1000...
