Hi john. Wondering where you were and how you are .. I think anxiety plays a big part in tinnitus. Once you hear the noise and start to panic it becomes a cycle of fear and anxiety. This is what happened to me anyway. The big question is .. How to break the cycle? It's a matter of trial and error. Finding things that work for you. I use relaxation techniques more and more. They're very helpful but I still slip back sometimes. Hope that helps. I know you're suffering ..

Anxiety kicked in a few weeks ago and hit me 2 weeks ago i was walking down the stairs felt a bit strange then the t got worse it was either the anxiety or the trazadone when looking it up trazadone it does cause pounding tinittus. it gave me a pounding almost deafening sound its horrible do i come of the trazadone or not ?. i have so many noises in my head and in my ears i feel i have no life at the moment

I don't know john. In theory it's best not to take anything that makes the T. worse but in practise it's not so simple. Especially if you can't sleep. Why don't you talk to your GP and if s/he isn't very helpful ask to see another one. Are you still waiting for ENT?
