I need encouragement in a bad way. I am sitting typing this through tears. I am weeping. I've had tinnitus for almost two weeks now, and it is driving me crazy. I am so scared. I am sinking into a horrible depression.
I've had it before. 20 years ago after cold-turkeying from Trazadone mixed with fertility drug therapy left me with a raging case of tinnitus. Back then there was no internet so I just thought I was going crazy and ended-up in the psych unit. They fed me Xanax and it eventually went away. Can't remember how long it took. Fast-forward to today. I've had a couple of flare-ups, but nothing that lasted very long. Again, can't remember how long they lasted, but I did end-up in the Audiologist's office a couple of times. The T always went away by itself. I've been in remission for the better part of 20 years. Now I've been doing a super slow taper off the Xanax...over four months and still not off....and I get tinnitus again. Horrible, horrible tinnitus. I've had it for 12 days, and it's not getting better. I will have days that it's not as loud and that I get around the house...do chores...go to the store, etc. But then I have some debilitating days like today. I am so scared. I need reassurance, support....anything.....I can't stop crying. Needless to say I quit the Xanax taper and have reinstated to the pre-taper dosage. It gives no relief. Please someone help. What is the best treatment for tinnitus? Surely scientists have come up with something in the last 20 years??? Lily Posted on 10/11/09, 08:10 pm |

Been reading all the T blogs. Mine is continuously getting louder. Yes it's making me anxious and depressed . I jab fingers in my ears like a child hurting them to justify the noise of driven insanity. I tried Lipo Flavinoid, Did nothing. Wonder what Xanax could do. Only has coffee 1 cup in the am. Uses sound effect machine to sleep and mask the noise at night. Noise is loud enough to wake me several times during the night let alone time change. Did the lanacaine procedure (needle put in ear canal to numb inner ears hairs), instant vertigo and a lost day of my life watching the rm spin and throw up. Does not reccommend. Procedure was a failure. There has got to be some form of research to this growing deliemma. Is on T-Gone. for 1 month and nothing has changed. Knows my T is associated to sinus-Tinnitis and tmj. I heard there are massage therapist that deal with it and massage from inside mouth to jawline. Researching that.
