Dear
@TracyJS,
I'm so sorry to hear how difficult a quandary you feel you're in. Your predicament is prompting me to go outside my comfort zone, and post about some things that might help you--even though they're things that are often not only frowned upon, but sometimes aggressively attacked online as being "non-scientific".
I'm taking heart from some of the courageous comments by
@Starthrower however, and have decided to share a bit more on some of my extensive experiences with energy medicine, including homeopathy. My own experiences and perspectives tell me that you have more choices than you may realize, if you're open to various kinds of energetic therapies.
First and foremost, I believe there's a way to get the benefits of medications--including benzodiazapines--without actually taking them by using homeopathic principles. This can be done by using what's called a "substance biocircuit". Here's a link--
BIOCIRCUITS--which will give you a good introduction to biocircuits, what they are, how they came to be invented, etc. (I've got a book on it). The article also demonstrates how deeply healing they can be.
This link--
Vibrational healing with Eeman Biocircuits--goes much more in depth, and provides diagrams to give you a better idea of how they work. Biocircuits,--also known as "relaxation circuits"--connect, via wires, different polarity points in the body. Below is a succinct description from this website on how the substance biocircuit works.
"
He reasoned that if a healing substance were to be placed in line somewhere in the biocircuit , its influence and qualities would be carried through the whole circuit as well. Years of painstaking research proved him right—and it is all fully documented in his various books, and in books written by some of his co-researchers. Further, he found that just one-tenth of a normal dose of a substance (say, Vitamin C or aspirin) was as effective as a full dose taken physically, say, as a capsule or pill.
I won't say too much more at this time, as I realize only a relatively small percentage of people have an interest in something like this. I will mention however, that I purchased a substance biocircuit a number of years ago, and experimented extensively with many different substances. For relaxation, I tried valerian, and a few other herbs that are purported to be relaxing. My favorite substances ended up being Vitamin C, which gave me a strong sense of relaxation as well as a gentle sense of vitality and alertness.
I used the biocircuits so often that after a few years, they fell into somewhat of a state of disrepair. But writing about it now is feeling like an impetus to dig them out again and get them back in working order. -- I've been thinking more and more that the deep relaxation they provide just might provide some kind of healing effect on our tender ears, brain and nervous system--perhaps especially our discombobulated auditory cortex.
Love & Hugs...
P.S. A simple polarity technique--which is incorporated in biocurcuits experience--is to place your left hand on the base of your head (where it connects with the neck) and the right hand at the base of your spine. It's a bit awkward, but it does have the effect of balancing energies in the body.
P.P. S. -- Just found this at

The findings of the study demonstrate the superiority of the relaxation biocircuit over a placebo control for producing relaxation under fully controlled double-blind conditions.
