Would You Try Any Medication for Your Tinnitus Even with Risk of Side Effects?

[WaqasVic]

Are you willing to try any new medication for your tinnitus even though it might have some nasty physical or mental side effects?

 

[Tinker Bell]

It would depend on the likelihood of the side effects as well as what would be the potential side effects.

For me personally, I am very cautious of anything with ocular or cardiovascular side effects because I have pre-existing conditions.

Unfortunately, for most of T treatments, the patients risk having their T getting louder.

No the risk is too high, and that's what's tough about finding a treatment.

I took to trobalt for a year. I was very careful and had my eyes monitored by an ophthalmologist. It helped my T greatly while I was on it, and when I tapered off of it my T didn't bother me as much. I had no long term side effects (that I know of), but some people on this forum have.

I guess my answer would be it depends on the likelihood of side effects, but I'm less likely to take risks now than than 1-2 years ago when I was desperate for relief.

NO...i would be trading one health issue for another.

I would as I've been through hell with Lyme disease and now have chronic T as well.
