Amitriptyline

It didn’t help me even though I tied it for a long time.

Well, I’d say you need to return to the prescriber with your issues and see what they recommend.

did it make the tinnitus louder ?

There's limited evidence of any effect on tinnitus, but as it is frequently prescribed for low mood and anxiety, treating these conditions may have a positive effect on how intrusive tinnitus might seem.

I've been prescribed this medication for nerve pain, but have noticed (although I had no idea there was a connection till reading these comments) that my Tinnitus has improved during the period I've been on it, approx. 12months now. So I'm guessing it's an individual thing. To be honest though the main things that work for me are distractions, like being outdoors in nature and doing yoga, whereby I have to focus on something more intently.
