As, I accidently OD's on it last night. I had been taking about 5 gm a day for the past three days when late last night I went deaf with the worst tinnitus. See, on these meds, I'm such an apathetic sloth that the only way I can function is to smoke myself to death. I never smoked until three months ago, but in those three months, I've smoked what feels like two ulcers in my lower esophagus (very painful...food gets caught on them, etc, and I can't see them with a flashlight: too low; you'd need an endoscope). Anyway, 1gm of aspirin every 3-4 hours seems to take the edge off, but I guess aspirin is what they call "ototoxic" (I researched it last night). It can give you tinnitus, and sometimes make you go deaf. I thought it was gone when I got up this morning, but after talking on the phone, it has come back. DAMN!!!
