Thanks. I go to my ENT tomorrow but think I will also give this a shot. At this point I don't have anything to lose. Thanks for the constant updates.
Certainly wasn't correct in my case early on. Lorazepam most definitely reduced the volume to a great extent in the early days. I never used it on a regular basis but enough in the early days to build some tolerance. If I take it now, the volume drops much less but does definitely drop.
While I initially felt no difference with the saffron, having now used it for about 2 weeks, I definitely feel less bothered by T. The reactive portion seems to have stabilized at least. The volume change isn't dramatic but dropped enough to make life more bearable. There's definitely something here other than placebo but the million dollar question is will it last. I too like the taste (I put it in milk) so will likely stick with it whether it works or not.

After more than two weeks of Saffron I must say that for some reason my T does not bother me as much as usual. Though if I listen to it I can hear that it is still the same old T.

after a few days of bad noise today was better. I think the saffron is working, but everything about this affliction is like the twilight zone. It is as if it is unexplained at times. I hate this so much
@RaZaH Respect...25g....You'll get marked as a dealer !!
Still not had T reduction from Saffron trial, although I have had fewer screaming hisssssy days so maybe something is occuring. Hard to tell.
I love the taste of it in milk though and it sure makes me feel bright and positive. That effect was very strong and almost instant. Im sure its not just a Placebo. I love a natural high !
Yes, It varies a lot for me , the main effect so far is making my mornings easier , they used to be hardcore, waking up from a carcrash bad...seriously. After Saffron that seems much better . An yeah, definitely a mood lifter , much needed one at that 
Thanks, Do you start taking it ,if yes do you feel difference between your first one and this last ?

I probably already said this but depending on where you live this stuff may actually be more expensive than marijuana which is sorta LOL
I am really enjoying the tea and will probably keep with it, even though I'd mostly already been feeling pretty great before I started it, which I mostly attribute to now living in a very quiet place combined with daily doses of over-the-counter Lithium Orotate and prescribed, compounded low-dose naltrexone capsules.

it's hard to say; there's some kind of connection there but I haven't figured it out. Short term, it can cause a spike, and sometimes it seems like it makes it worse during the day... but if I take a night off, I often get an unusually quiet day, and it seems like the overall trend since I've been taking it has been that I feel better and feel less bothered by T.
I hope you have researched the nasty long term changes in the brain this substance can cause.

I was on heavy-duty lithium carbonate doses in high school, so I am not especially concered with what relatively tiny amounts throw into the mix at this point if it has a demonstrable and immediate benefit to my life.
The evidence of real long-term harm from orotate doses is not very convincing to me; if you've got any data you think I should be aware of, please send it my direction.
There is a calculus of harm for everything; I know for a fact that if I just started taking some Valium every day, in the short term, my quality of life would be a lot higher. But, I'm not presently willing to take the risks associated with that. I believe that my current regimen of food, supplements and drugs has less risk to me than benzos, so here we are.
