Can low doses of hydrocortisone cause or worsen tinnitus? An integrative doctor prescribed bioidentical hydrocortisone in low doses (7.5 to 12.5 mg) to help with my fatigue due to low cortisol levels (for example, my afternoon saliva cortisol test was 20 and the standard lower boundary is 50)...

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with low cortisol during the afternoon and night by an integrative doctor. She prescribed hydrocortisone, in low doses due to my high sensitivity from benzo withdrawal. I don't like the idea about using corticosteroids for months (even if it was 12.5 mg max) but I...

A doctor prescribed Nimesulide for me due to some headaches and possibly COVID-19. I tried the search bar here and found nothing, nor did I find anything online regarding Nimesulide causing tinnitus. But googling, I found this: Otoprotective Effect of Nimesulide: Biochemical and...

So, I'm going through a tinnitus spike caused by a firecracker 6 days ago. Do I need to avoid anything anti-inflammatory for like a month because it could help making the spike NOT permanent? Would it be reckless to have 2 or 3 glasses of wine and a couple of cigarettes this weekend? Would I...

Do you think that people with tinnitus or hearing loss are more fragile than "normal" people in the sense that continuous 91 dB for 2 hours is a NO-NO for them despite it being allowed in the table NIOSH table below? NIOSH: Reducing Noise Exposure: Guidance & Regulations I don't know what to...

So, yesterday I had some board games at home and I used a vape from one of my friends. It was pretty strong on synthetic nicotine (50 mg/ml) and I hit it 4 times. Also, I took 2 glasses of wine. Can this kind of nicotine destroy the inner hair cells instantly when you have too much in one day...

I've been thinking about starting my Valium tapering again but I am still evaluating the method. Where I live there is no ORA-Plus, but there is Propylene Glycol and there is vodka. Not sure which one should I choose. One thing is for sure: if Propylene Glycol can mess with my hearing, I...

I am going to use high doses of Niacin (to help with a benzo taper) and I don't know if I should use anything to avoid undermethylation. I found one or two reviews on Amazon regarding TMG making tinnitus worse but that's all that I found. I didn't find any specific topic or posts on this...

Is butterbur safe to take in terms of tinnitus? I was wondering trying this to help with my allergies but not sure if someone has had a bad reaction to it. Also, my current med regimen is Zoloft, Valium and Lyrica so I wonder if it would have some kind of interaction. The butterbur I bought...

What are some tinnitus safe options to treat stomach acidity? Mainly, benzo belly (a set of symptoms acquired by benzo withdrawal). I wonder if Zinc L-Carnosine (PepZin GI) is totally safe tinnituswise? I don't want to use PPIs, and Famotidine might not be an option as I take Sertraline. Your...

So, I started Luvox 25 mg and went from 106.25 mg to 100 mg of Zoloft, this was 10 days ago. The idea is to cross over from Zoloft to Luvox because the former wasn't helping much. But yesterday and today I guess my tinnitus got a bit louder and more annoying. Do you think that it's worth...

Hey all, I use 0.625mg Xanax distributed by the day, with 5mg of Valium before my sleep. I wonder if it's ok to have chamomile tea in my routine: I am trying to substitute coffee for teas in general. I read that chamomile and benzos can interact due to their action on GABA, so I am not sure...

So, I have mild tinnitus and sometimes right temple + right ear with some discomfort, but not pain. Also, no noise gives me pain (even if someone play drums by my side I guess lol). I love going to public karaokes to sing, and also going to metal concerts with some friends. I don't want to...

Hey all, I am wondering if besides tinnitus, ADs can cause also hyperacusis. Never found much about it googling for it. I am sometimes having this continuous feeling in my right temple that is not pain, but something I can notice, something as a hotter part, or a more active part, I don't know...

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this because I am not sure if this is tinnitus related. Well, I was some time ago with this throbbing/burning feeling on a nerve just above the right ear (the same ear of my tinnitus). Ok, maybe burning does not describe well: I does not hurt...

Hey all, I haven't smoked marijuana again since I've got some panic attacks unrelated to tinnitus before the tinnitus onset, so, I gave myself some time to reach emotional stability. Now that I have tinnitus, I wonder: will this sound affect my highs? What is your experience on this? Do you...

Hey all, I am at my 18th day at 100 mg of Zoloft, after staying 5 weeks on 50 mg of it. I have the impression that my tinnitus is louder now, but I am not sure because I can't compare. But I feel depressed with my current perception. All the horror stories also makes me scared. The problem...

So... I sometimes have these blood pressure spikes reaching 18/11 when I am stressed or my anxiety goes high. I am kinda in a withdrawal from benzos (tapering off slowly) so this kind of stuff might be expected. The point is, I don't want to have any risk regarding these high BP episodes and I...

Hey all, I am almost sure that Zoloft triggered my tinnitus. Now I wonder... is there anything I can try to make it fade away besides withdrawing from antidepressants and waiting crossing my fingers? Any supplement worth a shot when the cause is an antidepressant? Is this Neuromod device that...

Hey all! Greetings from Brazil! (I was considering creating a introduction topic, but these doubts are bugging me so much that I decided to present more about myself later). Does anyone here suffers from severe OCD and have tinnitus? I am worried that I need those meds for live because my OCD...
