Has anyone taken Diclofenac to help with migraines? The medicine is called Voltaren D50.

I have been prescribed that by a doctor (as well as Buccastem), but it is listed a number of times on the following ototoxic list by the ATA:
https://www.ata.org/sites/default/files/Drugs Associated with Tinnitus 2013_Updated2017.pdf

Not sure if it's just something that may potentially affect tinnitus, or whether it is more dangerous than that?

I did ask at the time and he said it would be fine, but as he isn't a specialist with tinnitus, I thought it best to double-check before I take anything I might regret.

Oh, and whilst I'm asking about medicine, I know that it is considered that ibuprofen might temporarily increase tinnitus, I just wondered if the same could be said for paracetamol. It is on the above ATA list as 'Paracetamol(Acetaminophen)AC', I just haven't heard it mentioned like I have NSAIDs.

Thanks a lot.
