Sound Exposure Therapy for Hyperacusis

[Athens]

Sorry to be down. I have been in panic mode on and off now for the last 3 months. I do not know how to get out of this vicious loop even though I managed several times before but this time it is a complete new struggle. My tinnitus is really bad.

I do some mindfulness and take the following meds:

SSRI Escitalopram 15 mg a day
Oxazepam 20 mg a day (max dose 100 mg)
Zopiclone for sleep 7.5mg

Really hate those meds but I do not know what to do without them for now. They used to help me in the past. Now I am not too sure. At least I get 7-8 hours of sleep.

I try to walk 1 hour a day and work for a few hours.

Should I try some supplements?

Anything else or is it just to push through day by day? Hour by hour?

7 to 8 hours of sleep is great. My sleep has improved, and I have reduced my medication to low dosages. When I first started taking Zolpidem, it seemed to put me to sleep, but I would frequently wake up three hours later and not be able to go back to sleep. It is better now, and I take 50% less of that medication.
