Cause of Tinnitus
Viral Ear Infection/Prescription Drugs?
I just wanted to quickly share this with everyone. I got pulsative tinnitus ~6 months ago after taking Cipro/Prednisone.

My reaction to those drugs was really bad .... I also got severe depression/anxiety, heart palpitations, muscle twitches and jerks, tight chest, etc.

I was basically floxed! I'm much better, but only about 80%.

Anyway, I've noticed that my Tinnitus soften with *time* and the following supplements : 1) magnesium threonate and 2) a small daily dose of iodine. I've tried a lot of other supplements, but those are the only ones that seem to have an impact.

When I was in the middle of being floxed my tinnitus was a 10/10, but right now as I sit in my office it's about a 1/10. I still get spikes that seem to occur with stress and salt, but I still haven't recovered 100% from being floxed, so maybe that will get better.

Anyway, hopefully this will help someone. Good luck!!!

By the way, for anyone who has been affected a fluoroquinolone (Cipro, etc.) I highly recommend the website "Floxie Hope"!
