Thanks Sailor- I was actually wondering what Gabagamma is and asking @Angel G@SoulStation,
Dexametazone is a corticosteroid. It's similar to Prednisone. It was what they used, when I had an intratympanic injection.

To me this seems an appropriate dosage and length of treatment. I wouldn't worry really...Hello. I am still freaking out over medications I have been prescribed.
Saw a second ENT today. Much more professional than the first one I visited. My T initially began on 9/23. It went away after a few days but returned to stay 10 days later. This new ENT wants me to take Prednisone. The scrip is:
9 days @60mg (6 pills)
1 day @ 50mg (5 pills)
1 day @ 40mg (4 pills)
1 day @ 30mg (3 pills)
1 day @ 20mg (2 pills)
1 day @ 10mg (1 pill)
Does this length/intensity seem excessive? I have taken prednisone before (2 years ago, pre-T, for a bad skin rash due to taking a Sulfonamide) and did not experience any memorable side effects, but it was a smaller and shorter dose. I am afraid of lowering my immunity to fighting off any colds, and also the possibility of excessive sweating and/or increased heart racing. Dr. thinks it *may* improve my T. I am aware that it can sometimes lessen the nuisance level of T (often just on a temporary basis), but the potential side effects scare me. I also had three teeth pulled seven months ago. Is that cause for concern?
That's all normal. Will you let all of us know if the steroids help your tinnitus?@Atlantis Thanks. Took the first dose this morning. Only noticeable effect I've noticed so far: I've had a couple of temporary sweating spells. Can't tell if I've had an actual small T spike or if I'm just imagining it.
It's produced by Woerwag Pharma GmbH & Co.KG, Germany and contains Gabapentin. It has analog under the name Neurontin, which is produced by PFIZER. As I said it won't cure you, it just gives me a break.Thanks Sailor- I was actually wondering what Gabagamma is and asking @Angel G

Worst case I missed one dose.. I'll be seeing the ENT today and I'll see what he has to say. If he suggests I'll continue i will, I just don't know how I'll sleep.Insomnia is side effect of corticosteroids but don't stop.
Perhaps is the only drug that can cure T.
Don't stop.
