Applying for Jobs with Tinnitus Is Exhausting and Soul Crushing

[ZFire]

Are you still taking the Nortriptyline, @ZFire?

I've been prescribed it, not for tinnitus or hyperacusis, but for potential nerve 'damage' or hyperactivity caused by the microsuction I had (which brought on the tinnitus) by the London Neurological Hospital as they feel it may be the root cause of my chronic throat spasms and tightness, which seems to be getting worse as of late - and most of the time worse than the screamingly loud reactive tinnitus.

I don't have any pain with it, but it is so terrible uncomfortable all the time and affects my breathing and swallowing, which can be scary at times.

I have been hesitant to take it, so trying to get as much feedback as I can if possible.

No, I've been off Nortriptyline for almost a year now, but it was very helpful at the time. It did wonders for my relentless migraines at the time — reduced them to nearly non existent. I started at a high dosage with no major side effects. No impact on tinnitus and hyperacusis.

Sorry to hear about your chronic throat issues. Sounds rough AF. Can't believe there isn't more scrutiny within the medical community about the potential harm microsuction can cause. Hope you can get some relief soon.
