Lastly, I jumped the gun and said I was cured. I guess I was just excited. I won't know until a few weeks, but even if I'm not I can't do anything about it. I'm used to masking and I've adapted to life with tinnitus and as I said, it's never returned to baseline. Either way, if people want me to stay, I will. If you want me to go I will. I don't want to be like Dr. Nagler hated by many. I'm just a normal guy, not special in any way. Really, I post a lot and come on here way too much, because I just like being apart of the community.
Ok so 90% of pharmacies in Alicante and Torrevieja! (Tried tested and true!)Sorry @dan but I don't think this is the case.... A friend of mine went on vacation to Mallorca a couple of weeks ago. He is a 'kiwi' so definitely a tourist. @Juan Carlos was so kind to provide me with some addresses of pharmacies where he always buys trobalt. So my friend went there: one pharmacy told him they did not have it, the other told him that he needed a prescription. Perhaps he should have pushed more but he did not and I am thankful that he tried anyway.
Now this week some other friends of mine are in Valencia, so to keep them from having to go from one pharmacy to another I asked to see if there are some pharmacies there that will sell it to them without any trouble.
I live in Sweden, all medications are basically free here . There is a law that gives you a free card to buy as much medication as you want when you pass 220 euro in a year.
I wouldn't draw that kind of conclusion based on one night...Additionally there is pretty big sampling of Trobalt users and there is nothing mentioned about sleeping problems.I can't sleep anymore without 300-400mg trobalt.
Yesterday i had 0/10 T but no sleep.
Seems that i have developed depedence to rtg

Ii left it cold turkey for 5 to 6 days before starting again at low dose. In those days i still slept like very wellI can't sleep anymore without 300-400mg trobalt.

in Spain, in pharmacies, normally they dont have Trobalt as its a rare drug to sell, so you just have to wait one day for it to come to the pharmacy from the main storage
About dependency, MW1 draws conclusions too fast. I never had problems to sleep after stopping Trobalt, neither was reported by other users. If you have problems to sleep, try doing exercise during the day and have a fixed sleeping timetable
Of course it helps to sleep, wich doesn't mean it makes dependency
Besides i have to say that sometimes, like max once per week i take a dose if i had a stressing day and it feels so good..

This seems against reason. If one doesnt sleep that should educe anxiety which should bring on Tinnitus. What a unique circumstance, no sleep but no Tinnitus as well.I can't sleep anymore without 300-400mg trobalt.

Not all tinnitus sufferers have a spike with anxiety or no sleep!This seems against reason. If one doesnt sleep that should educe anxiety which should bring on Tinnitus. What a unique circumstance, no sleep but no Tinnitus as well.
Today I asked about trobalt in a pharmacy here in Madrid , he had no clue what I was talking about , is it called something else here ?90% of pharmacies in Spain will order Trobalt for you from a central drug repository. You DO NOT need any prescription- just act like a tourist and they will be happy to sell you 14 boxes of Trobalt at €110 for 84x200mg pills (per box).
Tell him to check his computer! He should input T-R-O-B-A-L-T.Today I asked about trobalt in a pharmacy here in Madrid , he had no clue what I was talking about , is it called something else here ?

P.S.
I am drank Malt beer from UAE called Barbican yesterday! It was soo good I bought a 6-pack! UAE baby!
Maybe it's retigabine here I don't know but I'll check again later todayI do not think it is called different, but when i handed my prescription to the pharmacist here she did not know what it was, she had to look it up and order it, I guess it is a pretty rare drug lol
PS: on a sidenote, apparently this drug is not covered by health service and I had to pay full price because it is not prescribed for what it is intended (epilepsy), that sucks.
