Hi guys. I posted a couple times under Sage Fanless and Don Barzini’s Spirit Animal on this forum.
I don’t post much because I am f**ked up medically. I already had vision issues on the old board.
6 months ago I suddenly developed severe tinnitus and hyperacusis. I can’t sleep without benzos. Life is miserable now. There is really no scientifically backed treatment at this time. I spend most of my time on a tinnitus forum now.
I don’t know how it happened. Likely either noise or medication induced.
Protect your hearing. Check the side effects of meds you take. Trust me you don’t want to end up like me.
I hope everyone is doing well.

I’m not trolling. I’m dead serious. 88 can text me and confirm this. He has my number or at least used to.

I had to stop producing music and I can barely listen to music. Look up what hyperacusis is. I can’t take my children to loud places to play. I have to wear f**king ear muffs when I pick them up from school. My ears ring all day every single day loud from tinnitus.
The first 2 weeks of onset I couldn’t sleep more than 15 minutes at night. I tried melatonin. Went to my GP and got trazodone, went to the ER and they gave me Ativan. At most with those I got 2 hours. I went back to the ER and ended up in the psych ward for a 72 hour hold. They gave me seroquel and then Ambien both of which f**ked me up and didn’t make me sleep any better.
I finally went to a psychiatrist my mother knows who gave me clonazepam which is a much longer acting benzo. That is the only way I can sleep. I’ve been on that poison 5 months now.
Right before I went to the psych ward was the last time I spoke to Gino on the phone. I didn’t tell him I was having a f**king mental breakdown, but I told him I hope he could enjoy his family because I was having trouble enjoying mine. If he’s still lurking here he can confirm that.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words.
I mainly made this post to emphasize staying cognizant of things like noise exposure or meds. Medication is what caused my eye issues. I was on low dose Amitriptyline for globus sensation in the throat. An off label treatment. I took it for years not realizing it can cause dry eye syndrome which is exactly what it did to me. I suspect the proton pump inhibitors I also took for acid reflux to be a contributing factor to my tinnitus and hyperacusis because they’ve been linked to many negative health consequences including hearing loss. My hearing is really good except in 14-17 kHz range. But hearing loss is one of the leading factors to conditions like tinnitus and hyperacusis. So take care of yourselves for sure guys.

Hopefully you'll be able to recover or at least recover enough from the pain. You never know how life will work out. But keep strong

Well another L for big pharma and phatbeets f**king up peoples lives with these death drugs.
Once your surgery heals up selah get off all the pills slowly and rebuild your immune system from scratch. Find a holistic doctor to guide u thru your journey of wellness. It can be done and has been done.

Find a holistic doctor to guide u thru your journey of wellness. It can be done and has been done. Nothing to do with me. Painkiller prescription is out of hand in the US and that’s so f**king dangerous. Yes walk away from all this s**t and search for alternatives, not necessarily medication. Maybe change your environment for a while? Hope you’ll succeed, marry Christmas.

Maybe change your environment for a while? Hope you’ll succeed, marry Christmas. What? I said 25mg of Amitriptyline a tricyclic antidepressant off label for globus sensation and proton pump inhibitors for acid reflux. I don’t take any opioids. This has nothing to do with pain medication or addiction period. I don’t even don’t even drink alcohol or smoke marijuana. The only reason I take clonazepam now after the fact of tinnitus and hyperacusis is its one of the few medications shown to have efficacy in lowering the noise level of tinnitus and annoyance of tinnitus and the only way I can sleep. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22626945/
