    Suicidal

    As a long time tinnitus sufferer since an acoustic trauma in 2015, I can only hope to help by telling you that it does get better with time. I was where you are now at six months in. My marriage broke down, I faced full depression, and had suicidal thoughts. Believe me, it gets better; how long...

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    To be quite frank, I have never heard of those side effects with regards to Clonazepam. Actually it is supposed to be first line treatment for anxiety and panic attacks. You might be in more distress with your tinnitus since it is of very recent onset. The first two moths I was a...

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    Propranolol won't help at all. Clonazepam (Rivotril, Klonopin) definitely helps to take the edge off tinnitus. In my case I usually take 1 mg with an empty stomach (effect seems quicker and last longer). The secret is to use it very occasionally only in times of real real distress, otherwise...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I don't think anyone active on Tinnitus Talk forum has been in the trial. Even with a non-disclosure agreement, basically nobody here is using their real name. During the AM-101 trials we had a lot of posts from people participating in the trial (it was a large trial). So I really don't...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Interesting conundrum. They are doing both studies at the same time (FX-322 and OTO-413). I don't really know which one would potentially benefit more since I mostly recovered from my mild hearing loss during these four years but still have tinnitus (high frequency) in right ear (I know I have...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    No one can truly say. It all depends on how well it goes in next the trial. This time they will also be checking how it works for tinnitus. If the results are mind bending and very successful i am positive that we will be seeing something in less than 3 years with fast tracking. If the...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    I not available anymore. Trobalt has very hard side effects that why it was discontinued. I tried it myself and it gave me some of the more quiet days i had ever had and at some points i thought it might cure me. Soon i realized that the effect is only transitory and you have to keep raising...

    Otonomy OTO-313 — Treatment of Tinnitus

    AM 101 was intended for the acute phase of tinnitus (first 3 months), later they extended the trial for up to a year and both fail to give any positive result. Similar way of acting in the same receptor (NMDA) but with a stronger (more affinity or more potent) product than AM 101 as i...

    After Loud Restaurant My Ear Hurts and Tinnitus Is Louder. Will It Go Back Down?

    Turning blue and looking like a smurf is ok but a lot of floaters (a little bit like i have now since i stop taking trobalt is ok) or visual snow is not a small price. If you are going to take it, taper up easily and at the first signs of visual problems stop. In my case was after 2 months and...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    Evolution is a bitch there is a reason for why the regeneration of hair cells is stop in mammals and it might have something with the fidelity of human hearing. Who knows i guess thats why frequency has not injected any one yet.

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    That is correct, some researchers are worried about the role that supporting cells migth play in the hearing of mammals and therefore what kind of hearing you will get after you lost the supporting cells in the procedure.

    Patrick I reported also all of these during my last month of taking trobalt and that is why I stop. In your case it is very worrisome that your vision became black from the periphery to the center because that can be a sign of retinal dettachment. About the snow and the floaters I think that...
