I'm tired of fighting the depression that comes with the ringing. I was put on Abilify and Celexa, and now I can barely focus on what I'm doing. I program for a living so now I can barely hold a conceptual thought. I can't even enjoy video games or TV anymore. Imagine coming home after work and not getting any feeling of satisfactory relief. It's hell.
A few things did get better, like the hyperacusis went away when I started taking meds. But now I would still rather just give up. I'm not seeing much progress in terms of habituation. I still notice the ringing once a day.
The worst part is not knowing why this is happening. My hearing is fine. Yet still this high pitched hissing tone... It's whatever. I just want to be able to focus enough to watch some damn TV. Can anyone relate? Anyone been on psychotropics and know if this gets better? I've been on the same meds for five months. They help with emotion regulation but I'm sick of not being able to fully engaged with what I love.
