I come here daily for one reason. To check on Dr. Shore's device. Forgive me if I seem a little impatient.

They have published one article about her research on their website and awarded her two grants, totaling approximately $100,000, out of over six million dollars donated to research over the past thirty-five years. So, yes, they know about her research and support it.

Tinnitus and hyperacusis are co-morbidities. Probably two sides of the same coin. My tinnitus and hyperacusis have always been in lockstep -- they always changed in tandem. It seems logical to me that if Dr. Shore's treatment improves my tinnitus, my hyperacusis will naturally improve as well...

Eighteen grams daily was the dose in a double-blind, controlled crossover trial that showed benefit for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. "Inositol significantly reduced scores of OCD symptoms compared with placebo." My OCD manifests as perfectionism with starting...

I can't tolerate pharmaceutical antidepressants. They typically cause me insomnia and restless legs. So I sought an alternative. One week ago Wednesday, I began taking a large dose of Myo-Inositol (15 grams+ daily, divided into 4 doses, added to food), to treat depression and...

Yes, based on the other thread here about several hyperacusis patients in Germany having success with Clomipramine. Those who could tolerate the side effects had their hyperacusis go into remission. I took that one 20 mg capsule one night at bedtime. It hurt all over my body all night long and...

After drinking down my first cup (tastes like grass), I read: "Tansy is UNSAFE when taken by mouth. It contains a poisonous chemical called thujone. People have died after taking as little as 10 drops of tansy oil. Deaths have also been reported from prepared tansy teas or powdered forms...

I have ordered bags of the three plant-based ingredients and a ball infuser from Amazon. I'll report back here in three months (or before then if there is any change in my condition). I have chosen to infuse them in a tea because of this: "Liquid extracts, including herbal teas, have faster...

As of October 2022, is Neosensory still helping you and do you still consider it a worthwhile therapy? After reading several of your posts, you come across as level-headed and trustworthy and your opinion would be valuable to me.

I admire your positive attitude. I have to remind myself that tinnitus / hyperacusis are more manageable when one's mind set is positive. I'm in the process of making a decision regarding Neosensory. It's not cheap, and I already spent $4000 on Neuromonics back in 2007, back when my condition...

These hyperacusis patients in Germany are discontinuing Clomipramine after 1 to 3 years without relapse. So maybe it does not have to be forever. However, if I had to take a drug daily forever to improve things, I'm okay with that. I already feel like I'm on borrowed time, so what does it...

Trying to hang on for as long as I can. Tinnitus and hyperacusis have worsened steadily since 2006. I had a good few months thanks to LDN.

I am desperate to get on Clomipramine. At 56, I have addressed my health problems, Type II diabetes and hypertension, but hyperacusis is going to drive me to suicide if something doesn't change soon. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep going with this demonic shrieking in my head (it's not...

I vary the dose between 1.5 mg and 4.5 mg, and sometimes I skip a night. This was suggested by this Naltrexone user: One commenter responded: "The alternating dosage is a great piece of advice. I've watched the LDN & Cancer doc on YouTube and Dr Wai Liu talks exactly about the fact that many...

I work in a public library and you would be surprised how loud it gets, especially when children are present. I keep my Peltor earmuffs handy at all times.

My tinnitus is bilateral / head. A little bit louder on the left than the right. It's also reactive and it ramps up throughout the day. It's a loud 7 kHz squeal, like a smoke alarm blaring. I should have tried LDN first, because full dose Naltrexone didn't help my tinnitus. A few weeks ago I...

Yes, that only lasted for a couple of days at the very beginning. No side effects since then, except suppressed appetite, "culinary anhedonia," (just made that up -- on Naltrexone, eating gives me no joy and I have lost weight) and better sleep. (Keep in mind that I already take a combination to...

Yes, they achieved the best attenuation at the 50 mg doses, consistently. 50 mg is the standard dose for on-label use of Naltrexone. I have been taking 50 mg daily for two weeks. I sleep better than I have in a long time, but no effect on my tinnitus. I began in mid-April. If I see no results...

I started after @Johnny Karate posted his success story. So I have been on it since mid-April 2022. I used a pill splitter and started with a 1/4 crumb for 3 or 4 days, went up to a half-pill (25 mg), and after one week went up to 3/4 of a pill, and have been at 50 mg (one full pill a day)...

Q: How to convince a doctor to prescribe Naltrexone off-label? A: I said I was drinking too much alcohol and wanted to stop. It worked. → https://www.tinnitustalk.com/posts/646932/ I'm sorry to have to advocate lying to your doctor, but if it helps you and harms no one else, do it.

It can cause liver problems, but that's why they do blood tests. (I'm having blood work done on Thursday.) In most patients, it is not a problem. I know of Sinclair Method patients who have been taking 50 mg of Naltrexone daily for a decade or longer. After a bumpy first few days, I'm...

Thank you for asking. I do appreciate your kindness. I'm now up to 25 mg / day, no side effects at all now. It makes me feel brave enough to want to jump all the way up to 50 mg tomorrow, but I'm trying to resist that impulse. After two nights, I discontinued the antihypertensive that my...

Keep in mind regarding the De Ridder/Vanneste Naltrexone study, some subjects were on 50 mg Naltrexone daily for eight weeks before they saw improvement. Some of the people in the study experienced total or near-total remission. @Johnny Karate had fast results, but not everyone does. But don't...

I said I was drinking too much alcohol and wanted to stop. It worked.

Alcohol has always taken the edge off my hyperacusis and even made my tinnitus seem quieter, but it no longer helps as much as it used to. Now I'm on Naltrexone for tinnitus, and it blocks the euphoric effects of alcohol. I still love the smell and taste of wine, so I still drink a little now...

And the thing is, the Minnesota clinical trial was getting fantastic results, possibly even better than Dr. Shore's device. But it seems to have gone nowhere after the conclusion of the trial. And Auricle is taking an eternity, in spite of being "almost ready for commercial release" a year ago...

It is rude to rate other people's posts as funny if they were not posting a joke or a meme. My post was made in good faith, based on the knowledge I have. Why did you mark it funny? I am sincerely asking you, because I want to understand.

I took my first dose one week ago today. I am slowly titrating up to the recommended dosage. Adding one-eighth every few days, because meds screw with me. Still, on day two, I had a pretty intense reaction to only a 6.25 mg crumb. I am at 18.75 mgs, side effects have subsided, no change...

Not just @linearb. Also @kelpiemsp. He was in the Minnesota trial under Dr. Lim (who, granted, hurt his own credibility with some here by later working for Neuromod*). @kelpiemsp had very loud tinnitus and debilitating hyperacusis. He experienced a big decrease and his hyperacusis improved to...

Thank you, @DebInAustralia. I feel fine this morning, and I calmed down a bit after posting yesterday. I was fearing a night of insomnia, but I slept surprisingly well last night. The worst effect was the first two hours or so after I took the dose. Suddenly my tinnitus perception went from all...

@Johnny Karate, you weren't kidding about these side effects. After a few days of Naltrexone (titrating up from a very low dose, 1/4 of a 50 mg pill, still only taking 12.5 mg a day so far) I have already thought about quitting the stuff. One very bad spike that lasted an hour, heart pounding...

Hey, @Johnny Karate. Just checking in. Tinnitus still under control? Tolerating the Naltrexone? My first (medicare covered) Dr I saw would not prescribe Naltrexone at all, and an appointment with a referral specialist is far away, so I just signed up for an appt with an online MD.

Your post today has given me hope. I have severe tinnitus and hyperacusis. I've had it since the 90s, and it has gradually gotten worse. This year it has gotten to the point where I cannot listen to music anymore (even at low levels). I'm trying to get back on insurance so I can try to get on...

I am 55 and counting the days for Dr. Shore's device to be commercially available. I've had tinnitus since the 90s. One thing you might consider: since my ears became painfully sensitive and prone to spikes, I now keep a wired volume potentiometer in my lap and am constantly "gain riding" while...
