    Buspirone (Buspar) Experiences? Has It Made Your Tinnitus Worse?

    I’ve been dealing with a spike for 7 months after 10 years of habitation. It came back during a panic attack. Since my already awful anxiety has gotten so much worse, I was prescribed Buspar to help as my psychiatrist was worried an SSRI would worsen it. I take 10 mg 2x a day. I’m also on...

    How Bad of an Idea Is It to Just Stop Caring and Pretend I Don’t Have Tinnitus Anymore?

    You can read my history if you want but long story short my tinnitus that I was habituated to for about a decade became a hyper fixation for me again after a period of insane stress and anxiety ~6 months ago and has dominated my life since. I want to just say fuck it and stop caring. Just do...

    Struggling to Rehabituate — Could Use Some Support

    Some of you may have read my other post about how tinnitus was no longer giving me anxiety and I wondered if that was the first step to rehabituate.

A few weeks ago I got a grip and essentially faked it until I made it. Today I’m doing better. My tinnitus...

    How Do I Stop “Checking” My Tinnitus?

    I've been in hell from a two month long spike that started as a panic attack. I've gotten better slowly. From 9-10/10 all day to a 3-4/10 most days with occasional ups or downs. Hell I'm pretty sure it's back to baseline sometimes. The problem is I cannot stop checking it. 24/7 I'm seeing if...

    Can Anxiety Cause Long-Lasting Tinnitus Spikes? My Tinnitus Has Been Worse Soon for 2 Months

    Sorry, this is a long one. Little background: I’ve had tinnitus for about 7ish years. The first few months were hard as hell and I definitely didn’t want to live anymore. Eventually it calmed down (or more likely I just learned to tune it out) and I really only noticed it occasionally and the...
