I'm sorry to hear your tinnitus went up too. I take a baby dose (25 mg) of L-Theanine because unfortunately without it I literally WILL NOT sleep. So I had to choose to live with the spike. Anything that messes with my serotonin levels, apparently spikes my tinnitus, no matter the dosage. Try...

All the antidepressants gave me more anxiety. Now they really exacerbate my tinnitus, but yes I've tried many.

Fried my brain... thanks! I won't name how long I've been on Xanax because people judge too much. Let's just say I can't come off of it. I'd die. But I understand what you're saying & wish I had known all this years ago. Unfortunately it seems I'm a lost cause.

Yes, I have tried Trazodone, low dose of 25 mg. Lexapro, low dose 5 mg. L-Theanine at the lowest doses. All made my tinnitus spike. They all worked well to calm my nerves and help with sleep but unfortunately they all made my levels of tinnitus outrageous. I have taken Xanax for a long time...

Reporting back. I had stated that 100 mg of L-Theanine increased my tinnitus volume, so I thought I'd try a very low dose at 25 mg. Still got a spike with that as well. So, it does spike some people's tinnitus. I have no idea what to resort to now. I desperately need something for sleep and...

I only took 100 mg per night, as it helped my depression and insomnia a little. I'm pretty bummed out. I'm put of options on what could possibly help me without affecting my tinnitus. Seems every pill I take spikes it.

Yes, while taking L-Theanine, the tinnitus volume went up extremely. When I stopped, it went back down.

L-Theanine unfortunately spiked my tinnitus, but I took it a good month to get it built up in my system before it did. I'm at a loss on what could help my depression and sleep now. I've tried everything & always get spikes. Feeling very defeated.

I, too, started taking Trazodone about 3 weeks ago - it knocks me out & gives me fabulous sleep, only problem is, my tinnitus has gone up intensely and I've got really bad hyperacusis. I'm at a loss on what to do, since it's the only thing that allows me to sleep. I only take 25 mg. I've tried...

Thank you Greg for the feedback. I have started on a low dose of Lexapro because my anxiety got so bad, I had terrible thoughts and checked myself into a mental health facility. I had to choose between mental health and my life or the ringing. My main problem is not sleeping at night, even with...

I, too have just started Lexapro. I'm having basically the exact symptoms you are. It has made me incredibly shaky and my tinnitus seems louder than ever. I have scaled it back to even halving a dose and only taking 2.5 mg. My problem is, I can't get a full night's sleep, which is exacerbating...

I am suffering tremendously with loud, high pitched, tea kettle sound tinnitus that is pretty much 24/7 and on a scale of 1-10, as far as loudness goes, it stays at between a 5 to 10 all the time. I thought it was from starting Lexapro 4 years ago, as I know it does cause ear ringing. When the...

I agree. I thought it was contradicting as well. So, why not suggest a hearing aid to help, right? I have an appointment on Thursday and am curious what they will suggest. Been taking the Sudogest and Steroid nasal spray, a week today. I also have a pulse, at times, along with the ringing. Some...

Hello everyone! I am a 49-year-old female and my tinnitus started 2 years ago. It started out, coming and going and at lower frequency at first. I went to an ENT Doc & had a hearing test and he said, my hearing wasn't exactly where it needed to be but basically normal for my age. Sent me home...
