In reply to To Cloud 9 How are you making out with tinnitus?, posted by Mary-Teresa on November 30, 2001, at 10:42:26
Hey Mary,
Thank you for your concern, it really does mean a lot to me. The tinnitus is no where near the extent as it was when i first posted. It has subsided, although in complete silence, i can still hear a faint ringing, which makes bedtime a barrel of monkeys. But as i said, not like before when it over-powered just about any sound. I'm still on the meds now at 75mgs i want to see if the effexor will at least help with some of my depression/anxiety symptoms. I'm a little scared i just hope it doesn't get any worse.
You mentioned it could be a result of seratonin spikes, what exactly is a "spike"(sudden increase?) and how can i avoid them?
I can't even imagine the trouble this must cause you after having it for 11/12 weeks now - 3 days was hell for me. I truly wish you the best. There are tons of sites out there that discuss tinnitus. Apparently, increasing your vitamin A intake will ameliorate your symptoms. Although too much vit A can also be toxic so be give it a little research. If i find any new info you'll be the first to know.
Thanks again and i hope you feel better soon.
PS- did you find an alternative for the Zoloft?
