Prednisone for Ototoxic (Valdoxan — Agomelatine) Reaction? Please Give Your Advice

[Liam_Cairns]

I took Valdoxan two weeks ago and it has really increased my tinnitus pitch and sound, would Prednisone be worth looking into?

My ears feel full and sensitive so I think there might have been damage done.

I'm so desperate. I'm on the verge of having a breakdown I think.

I took first dose of prednisone and tinnitus was getting louder.
So, I have to quit after 1st dose. The T lowers down within 2 days.

Yeah I know it temporarily increases mine as well, that's not what I was asking tho, I am trying to figure out if it would help with ototoxicity.

I have the same problem I have a new tone from Tylenol. All articles I read so far said to just discontinue the drug if ototoxicity is suspected and that there is no treatment to reverse it. I am now taking n-acetylcysteine vitamin E and and vitamin B12 can't say it's helping. I have some prednisone but I do not want to take it cuz it makes me feel so sick.
