The last ENT doctor I saw gave me a sample bottle of Lipo-flavonoid. It's a nutritional supplement. I suppose you can buy it at any pharamcy over the counter. I started xannax (recommended by same doctor) and he was not sure if I should mix the two. Good luck...

Hi John, I live in australia, so I dont think that you can get lipoflavonoid here what a shame was going to buy some.
Thanks

I am sure you can buy it on-line.
The correct spelling is Lipo-Flavonoid.
The bottle claims it's a dietary supplement which improves circulation to the inner ear. Good Luck...

I looked for this at a pharmacy once and the pharmacist told me that I should just get Vitamin B. This didn't seem to work for me but I'll admit i didn't have a lot of patience and gave up on the whole thing right away.

Ok I lied! Oops! The pharmacist told me to try Potassium Gluconate and I think I was supposed to take the vitamin B with it or something like that. I have a lot of random herbal pills that i've tried for random things! lol

sister mentioned lipo-flavonoids but
I'm also taking xanax. You mentioned ENT
suggested not both together.Did he ever
say why not. I guess if I decide to try
lipo-flavonoids I'll have to stop xanax?
( It helps with my aniety attacks).

ronrc,
You'd need to ask your doctor on this one. I believe Lipo-Flavonoid is just a nutritional supplement...The original ENT doctor I saw I would not go back to. I have found an audiologist who is very helpful.

Hey John, have you found the xanax is working a bit for you? I used Lipo-Flavonoid a while back too. I found it in the ear section of my local drug store; 30 bucks for 100 caplets. As with all things I've tried, it was very difficult to know if it was working or not, and if I did have a better day or week, was it the lipo or was i just thinking about the tinnitus less, etc? I found my greatest relief by simply dumping the contents of my medicine cabinet in a trash bag. Getting back in shape has been the best remedy for me yet. Exercise, and lots of water. But everyone is different.

I also just started the lipo-favonoid as recommended by my ENT. Don't know if it's working, yet. Also, take Xanax. Haven't mixed the two and am curious about why not?

JohnK and Steppinwolf..
Not to pee on your parade, but all 5 ent's that ive seen said u may as well throw your money in a pig pen and holler.. soooieee!! I tried it for 3 months anyway and got zero! and it is pretty costly too. I hope it works for ya man!!

I tried it also but maybe I did not take it long enough.

I would not worry about zanax and LipoFlavonoid.

WOW...this original post is dated 5/10/2007...13 months ago.

For the record lipoflavoid did not work. If I remember right, I think it might have had a placebo effect.

This lipo didn't work for me either.back to the drawing board.
