Crying, Crying and Crying...

[TheDanishGirl]

Yes I am sure it will work once you change the AD...

Do you receive lots of hugs from the cats ?

I really hope so.

Not that many but then I just go over and hug them instead

Now I am having doubt if I should have come off Venlafaxin or not my doctor will prescribe another AD that will replace the Venlafaxin.

I understand your reasoning in wanting to reduce your medication but staying on an antidepressant isn't such a bad thing if you find it of benefit. As I'm mentioned before, it acts as a safety net because tinnitus can fluctuate a lot and this will have a direct impact on one's moods if there is nothing to help stabilize you.

You are in early stages of tinnitus and it can be very unpredictable.
As always taper medication under the guidance of your GP

Venlafaxine is the hardest to come off and make you low but the new one will soon up your serotonin...
Love glynis

I need to get of the Venlafaxin because it has some very unwanted side effects, which I can not deal with long term.

I will have a meeting with my GP 5 days from now, and she will then prescribe me a new AD which will replace Venlafaxin. She has suggested the AD Brintellix so far.

Sometimes you just need to cry to let all the anxiety and frustration build up inside out. At least that's how I feel, i have no problem with crying and neither should you. Don't let anyone tell you that crying about T is wrong, it certainly is NOT, Hope you soon feel better.

I completely understand where you are coming from. My cat had passed away many years ago, but throughout his life I could never resist petting him too. However, now I believe that in order to increase the chance that your cat will treat you like the cats below treat their owners




you should try not to do anything against the cat's will.

One month, my tinnitus made me cry uncontrollably multiple times a day, every day. Before the onset of my tinnitus, I cried only once as an adult - when my dad was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Having a cat/s is a bit like tinnitus @TheDanishGirl you got to put in lots of hours to reap the rewards. Sounds like you're doing fine just give it time....

Is it likely that the tapering is the cause of my H being worse and the buzzing/vibrating in my ears??

Im just a little afraid now

It could be but not necessarily. Try and remember that you haven't had tinnitus long and you're adjusting to it and doing quite well. However, there will be hiccups during the habituation process and this is normal. Try not to get overly stressed by this. Deep relaxation exercises can be especially useful in allowing the body to let go and will release stress. Practiced 3 to 4 times a week for 30minutes each time, you will soon realise the benefits and it won't cost you anything financially. Please click on the link below and read the post.

But it does not always get better Lots of people here are evidence of that... people who have had tinnitus several years and are still suffering. I don't want to keep on suffering

Even if it doesn't go away it doesn't mean you will not be able to feel better. If it goes away it's a huge bonus, but if it doesn't you can still feel good and enjoy life. When I'm relieved and not stressed I feel really, really good...like I dont even have T - literally.

Wow. I must admit that even though I have had good moments or even whole days, I have not had one single moments where I have felt truly as good, calm and relaxed as before I had T (NO T) not one moment! Their is always, and I really mean always a BUT. Some days it is very very little, others days it is all consuming.

I feel T has taken away some percentage of my overall general wellbeing and happiness in life, like 10% or so

I dont think I will ever get 100% back to my old me/old life.

Of course that does not mean I cant be happy. I can!.....just not nearly as much and carefree as I used to be.

Low pitch buzz? It happens to me everytime I drive, don't know why.

Hello Sandra how are you these days ?

Did you change your AD ?

And yes cats can be very stubborn for not being cooperative with hugs !

But you are right to go hug them !!!

I'm somewhat okay, thanks for asking Tomorrow I will take my last dosis of Venlafaxine and I have just begun on a new AD called Brintellix. Hopefully it will help me better, without the unwanted side effects. These last days I have been a bit more unstable in my mood, and today I am quite depressed and very much bothered by my T, but I know that it is probably the change in AD's that's causing these feelings or at least worsening them. Acknowledging that and knowing it will most likely change for the better in a few weeks, makes it easier to cope with feeling bad

Actually the cats are with my mom at the moment. It was too much for me to take care of 2 cats at once and besides, it is not allowed to have 2 cats where I live, only 1. In a few weeks the kitten will be old enough to be removed from her mother and then she will move back in with me permanently

Hope you are doing well, also

Yes when we change the AD, it is always quite difficult, but only at the beginning...

After it will settle down...

Ah ok, so soon enough you will have your own cat !

From my side it depends...
