    Keep Getting New Sounds, One After Another

    I have a Symphony of tones... I've lost track of them but I find paying them heed is bad. Sometimes they come and go. But mostly they're always there. Try clonazapam in small doses when you need relief ... Just don't do it daily.

    Really Need Some Support Right Now... Did My Medication (Ativan, Gabapentin) Cause My Tinnitus?

    I doubt it was your meds... Ativan and Gabapentin aren't highly ototoxic. In fact Ativan is used to treat T but has a short half life. I suggest you talk to your doc about weening down VERY slowly off the Ativan. Look into a liquid taper and the Ashton Manual. You are not alone in this and you...

    Using Benzodiazepines for the Rest of Your Life

    I take 2 mg Klonopin daily. It helps but tolerance grows slowly and is a b@tch. I tried to taper off ATIVAN and it was hellish. I have a feeling I'm going to be on benzos for life. Or at least until they do more harm than good.

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    Yes - but this is much more of a problem with shot half life benzos such as oxypam and ativan as well as xanex. Klonopin and diazapam are much better in this regard. Not saying it can't happen but the chances are far far less.

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    What the non chronic tinnitus sufferer defines as tinnitus is much different than what we define T as and in many cases it's just a symptom that comes and goes for benzo users (they'll list it among a miriad of other symptoms). I don't believe for a second that you could get permanent T from 1...

    OCD or Change in Behavior Pattern After Tinnitus

    Yes. It helps with not obsessing and depression. I think it prevents severe anxiety too. I'm on 15 mg a day. It's a relatively small dose but its helped. The side effects that I get ate feeling a bit emotionally flat and some very very minor libido changes.
