    At My Wits' End/Electric Type Brain Sensations

    I followed the advice of some wise people here and learned what I could, stayed away from tinnitus websites and tried to adjust to life with tinnitus. Since my initial diagnosis, I have since seen a neurologist who diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. I'm also hypothyroid. So, long story short...

    Pressure Episodes in Left Ear

    Just wondering if this happens to anyone else. I started having these weird episodes where I'd feel a rushing pressure/surge fly through my brain from left to right, then I felt like I could almost faint or lose my balance. Then, after tinnitus arrived, I'd still have the pressure/surge...

    I'm Right Now Sitting in Silence

    So you mix the butter, curcumin and pepper together? How do you even get it down? I had been on cbd oil when my T started. Annnd, can't pinpoint the exact moment, but the same week I got T, I had to have my eyes dilated. Had a really bad experience with the retina specialist. 24 hours...

    Went to My First Concert Post Tinnitus

    Went to another concert last weekend. We saw Zebra from the second row. No earplugs this time and no change to the volume of the T. My T isn't affected by sound. It started as a result of Klonopin withdrawal. Not sure how to make this type of Tinnitus stop.

    My Tinnitus Is Cured! Here's What Worked in My Case

    My chiropractor prescribed phenibut and it really messed up my brain. Phenibut affects gaba. If I'd had any idea the damage it was going to cause me, I would have steered clear.

    My Tinnitus Is Cured! Here's What Worked in My Case

    My T was due to Klonopin withdrawal. My last dose was 36 hours before the T started. I pray this helps me. If nothing else, it really helped me with energy and focus this morning.

    I was thinking GNC, but if I knew what Earthfare is, I might try it. Whole Foods is just too expensive even with my Amazon prime account.

    @Conan156 did the T start to fade or did you wake up on the 10th day and it was gone?

    If Your Tinnitus Was Cured, What Would Be the First Thing You Do Afterwards?

    I would thank my dear Lord for answering my prayers!!! Then jump up and down... Hug my cats.... Text my boyfriend... Tell you guys... Post it on my Facebook... In that order! I know I'll be healed. No doubt about it! I have faith in my Healer. ✝

    Why would binaural beats increase volume of tinnitus?

    I tried the binaural beats from the post in the quote this evening. I went to the gym and got on the treadmill and then listened to it in my car on the way home. I took of the earbuds and now the T in my left ear is louder. Why would that happen?

    Apple Cider Vinegar

    For the people who had success with ACV, what caused your Tinnitus? Mine was caused by clonezepam withdrawal. I'd be very interested to learn if there is a particular type of Tinnitus that responds well to ACV. I've been using it. Can't tell yet if it's working.

    Went to My First Concert Post Tinnitus

    My t is Klonopin withdrawal induced. It really didn't affect my T at all. I'm still going to protect my ears. I have another concert this month. I have second row for Zebra! I'm not so afraid now.

    Went to My First Concert Post Tinnitus

    Went to see ELO last night. Was very concerned about how it would affect my tinnitus. I wore earplugs. Only took them out of the non-tinnitus right ear for my favorite songs. Volume in left tinnitus ear seems a bit lower today. Only thing I changed yesterday was not having coffee in the...

    MRI with/without Contrast

    I didn't know, said the person who never had a chemistry class. The only thing that works for me is aspirin. My chronic back pain responds well to CBD oil, but it seems make my left lazy eye drift more. Turning 50 brought so many heakhe problems.

    MRI with/without Contrast

    I have no chemistry knowledge. I just had severe side effects from phenibut, which had something to do with GABA. I'm quite leery of anything GABA. I'm one of those people who has the opposite reaction to what most people have to medications. Most pain relievers either have no effect on me...

    MRI with/without Contrast

    Thank you @fishbone . I'd hate to once again listen to the medical professionals who don't have to deal with my issues tell me "it's safe" and I end up with debilitating arthritis and can't work anymore.

    MRI with/without Contrast

    Thank you for this information! Exactly what I was hoping to hear from people. I already had a CT done a couple weeks ago right after t started. I hope I can stay still. I'm not very good at it.

    Thanks for your advice. I'm going to use earplugs. The flesh colored mushy ones.

    MRI with/without Contrast

    It's so funny that you say it can be cured by MRI because my overly analytical mind was wondering about that. I'll definitely be wearing earplugs. I've got the mushy flesh colored ones.

    MRI with/without Contrast

    I had an ENT appointment Friday. I have mild/moderate hearing loss in the left ear; same side as the tinnitus. Doc ordered an MRI. She said it's probable that it will show nothing. If she's that confident about finding nothing, why should I risk any further side effects by having the...

    If Your Tinnitus Worsened from Benzo Withdrawal, Did It Eventually Get Better again?

    At least 2 months. I went from 3mg before bed, down to .25 for a few weeks, then zero a week ago this past Sunday. 36 hours later, my life changed.

    GABA Supplements (Including Picamilon)

    I don't know anything about the chemistry of phenibut. I just know that in the days since I stopped taking it, the terrifying side effects that drove me to the ER are fading away. I was on it for a month. I also had been weaning off Klonopin and coincidentally had had my last dose within 36...

    GABA Supplements (Including Picamilon)

    Phenibut likely brought on my T. I had a terrifying experience using it. I was in the ER yesterday morning because my body and brain were responding to it with bizzare and invasive side effects. I had a brain CT done yesterday morning. ER doc said to discontinue phenibut. I would urge that...

    So grateful to have slept well last night! The volume seems to have gone down a bit and the lights in my right eye seem to be dimming as well!

    Wow. Funny you say that. The night before I woke up with T I had a few glasses of wine. I wasn't wasted, but more than I usually have on a weekday. Had a shitty day at work. Don't know what started it.

    I Can't Sleep Anymore, Drug Advice
