Hi
Yes I tried it as prescribed by my ent, but it gave me palpitations and sent my heart racing, so not for me. I would say give it a go though.
We’re you on long enough to see if it worked
I took in for four weeks, didn’t see any real benefit, the amytriptline is better for me as it helps me sleep . It may work for you , I know some people on here take it.
I take mirtazaphine to sleep does not help ringing in the head. Trying oxygen therapy Monday for a month see if that works
Be interested t9 hear about your 9xygen therapy. My friend managers an Oxygen centre here and has seen good results for various people - from footballers to those with fibromyalgia. My tinnitus has now become so debilitating I too am displaying many symptomss of CFS and ME which probably now make my tinnitus worse. I just wish I'd been taken seriously at the beginning and that being told just to carry on ( even when I can't hear through mine! ) is not the best advice for everyone. Tinnitus affects people differently and has various causes - to be told we're making it up and should be stronger and carry on regardless has , I think , been the worst thing for me. We are NOT making it up and we are not weak . X
Nortriptyline actually seemed to make my T worse and also made me feel a little hyper. Klonopin helps me not pay attention as much to my T. I just got back from a vacation and needed to take a ferry boat there and back Now I can hardly hear anything, my T is so high. Both times getting off ferry I felt I had a hurricane in both ears and it hasn’t let up for 3 weeks, Has anyone else had a similar experience with boat travel?
