Dicloflex 75 mg SR Prolonged-release Tablets

[Frankiefocus]

Hi everyone, I have been put on Dicloflex 75 mg SR Prolonged-release Tablets as the Naproxen is now making my tinnitus unbearable, I get about 4-5 hours sleep a night. Has anyone used this NSAID with good results?

I haven't had these so couldn't comment but anything that helps get rid of the tinnitus is so welcome isn't it?

I have Disability Tinnitis and it has just made me crazy! What do u all take for it?

[Gnarli in reply to Patyganz]

I also have it and, yes, it drives you nuts. Being hard of hearing too I got some hearing aids which have a 'masking' function. If the tinnitus gets too much I press a little button on the aid and I get white noise feeding into my ears which somehow cancells out the tinnitus. The audiologist said that hearing aids quite often help without the masking function. I hope that helps

Its what not to eat is the way for me, cut down on all salt and sugar and drink more whater...I have magnesium supps in the post so I will let you know if they work at all, as I have arthritis I have notice more and more my NSAID are making it worse therefore I will be talking to my rhumatologist to change my meds.

I was on Diclofenac for many years and it was very affective. I was able to maintain my job during bad flares. When I was over 60 I was told not to use it as there is an increased risk of strokes and heart attacks.

Yes, I use these. I have regular tussles with my GP about it, but they work very well for me. I seem to get a boost at abou 7.30am which gets me up and about without too much pain and stiffness. I usually take mine between 10:30 and 11:00.

I wouldn't be without it.

I was given diclofenac in hospital (Diclofex is a brand name, you'll know that but others may not) when I had a kidney problem. I have used them since but not for RD.

I hope that they're helpful & the tinnitus comes down to a liveable level. They're not so keen on prescribing them nowadays.
