@Samantha R hasn't stopped the LDN to know if her tinnitus increases... I think she plans on staying on it for life...Have you ever stopped the LDN and had the tinnitus increase?

That is great! May you have even more improvements and healing!Update:
LDN has completely gotten rid of my right ear tone, which was never bothersome, but I could always hear it in a quiet room. I have been taking 1 mg for 2 days, and then upped it to 1.5 mg the past 2 days.
If I plug my ear, I can hear it, but I cannot hear it otherwise.
My most bothersome tinnitus is still loud and clear on bad days, but I would recommend that people try LDN.
It seems like a very mild drug at low doses.
I'll go up to 5 mg in the coming week.
Loud noise, but worsened significantly by benzo. The right ear tone was caused by loud noise.Mind sharing what caused your tinnitus and if you have anything autoimmune?
Hi @BrysonKingMe -- Not that I'm any kind of expert on LDN, but I seem to recall that moving up to 5 mg should be done over a fairly lengthy period of time, like weeks or something like that. Of course we're all different, but since you're having such great success at a lower dosage, perhaps patience is the name of the game as far as getting up to a higher dosage. Just a thought.I'll go up to 5 mg in the coming week.
Thanks for the heads up Lane.Hi @BrysonKingMe -- Not that I'm any kind of expert on LDN, but I seem to recall that moving up to 5 mg should be done over a fairly lengthy period of time, like weeks or something like that.

The effect to kick in, for my friend, took a couple of days.I just ingested 1 mg LDN -- does anyone know how long it would take to see any effect on tinnitus if there will be one?
I thought your Korean treatment resolved your head noise?The central head tinnitus, which is unmaskable, has not changed.
I thought it did too, but it was temporary/made it so loud in my ears I couldn't hear the head noise.I thought your Korean treatment resolved your head noise?
Have you done blood work or tests for autoimmune diseases? I ask this because I have seen some people have success with LDN tinnitus-wise but they also deal with autoimmune issues.Loud noise, but worsened significantly by benzo. The right ear tone was caused by loud noise.

Good to see the LDN has helped you somewhat...Update:

Sometimes for the whole day, sometimes I wake up to my old mild tinnitus.Good to see the LDN has helped you somewhat...
Do you experience residual inhibition with your peripheral noise?
@randomEtc, you need to get it compounded at a pharmacy.I recently asked my GP to prescribe me LDN for my severe tinnitus and she surprisingly said yes. But she prescribed me 50 mg tablets which is regular Naltrexone and not LDN. I went to the pharmacy to discuss and was told it wasn't available in 1 mg or 4.5 mg.
Has anyone here been in a similar situation? I'm curious why this same issue hasn't been mentioned at all on this long thread. It seems to be commercially available.
Hi, do you have any more information on you using LDN? What was your dosage? What did you start on and end up on dosage wise? Did your tinnitus start to reduce over a period of time or did it just stop one day and that was it?No, I haven't stopped the LDN.
I have given birth just 2 weeks ago, and at times during the pregnancy my tinnitus spiked.
I'd blame hormones and inflammation and the LDN couldn't help, even when I increased the dose. Things are now back to normal and the only noise bothering me at night is my daughter screaming! Lol.
I hope you're ok.LDN has completely gotten rid of my right ear tone, which was never bothersome, but I could always hear it in a quiet room. I have been taking 1 mg for 2 days, and then upped it to 1.5 mg the past 2 days.
Any update?Hey everyone, I recently asked my GP to prescribe me LDN for my severe tinnitus and she surprisingly said yes. But she prescribed me 50 mg tablets which is regular Naltrexone and not LDN. I went to the pharmacy to discuss and was told it wasn't available in 1 mg or 4.5 mg.

BTW - I took half a 50 mg and dissolved into 1 liter of water. Every 50 ml should equal 1.25 mg of Naltrexone, but it doesn't dissolve entirely in the water so I know this is a crude measurement at best. and it hasn't helped either so far. It's been about 2 weeks.
I have pondered this myself, though it isn't my experience at 2 mg/daily.Do you know why tinnitus would spike from LDN?
