gabapentin and tinnitus

After she stopped taking Gabapentin, the tinnitus slowly went away, and is now completely gone. I thought I'd mention that just in case it's a factor in your tinnitus or could become one later. I have it, too, but it's not nearly as bad as yours. I'm hoping it's just due to my anemia and goes away as the iron infusions continue.

I took only two doses which made me disoriented, caused my mouth to get very dry, produced sores in my mouth, and the tinnitus I already had jumped higher. What do I do now? I plan to ask to be lowered to 100 mgs. of gabapentin to see if the side effects could be dealt with. I don't want to get back on lyrica. For fibromyalgia I also take xanax and hydrocodone. Things were at least okay, with pain levels and fibro manifestations to deal with, but nothing like this hell.

I've had tinnitus and benign essential tremor for over twenty years and have tried everything both alopathic and alternative. Finally after having a vasectomy and being given an opiate I realized that it calmed the noise in my head and stopped the tremor. Before that I was drinking heavily and my doctor prescribed hydrocodone which was compounded to avoid additives. I took that for about three years.

The persistent phantom smells and tinnitus are often inter-linked and caused by certain brain lesions involving the frontal lobe. This could be the reason for the persistence of the symptoms even after surgery. The symptoms can be managed by anti-epileptic drugs such as gabapentin and anti-depressants such as amytryptaline. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.

Couple of days later visual snow, shaky vision, afterimages, trouble seeing movement, halos, starbursts, flashes of light, dry eyes, recurrent episcleritis, trails and of course tinnitus. Last year I was diagnosed with Neuroboreliosis and received two treatments already .... both made my visual disturbances more intense. I saw a neuro-ophthalmologist last week who thinks that all my visual problems are actually a very rare side effect of general anaesthesia ... is that possible?

2002) Advancing age may also be accompanied by inner ear damage and tinnitus. Many medications also can cause tinnitus (see list below). Generally this is thought to arise from their effect on the cochlea (inner ear).

He has upped my Gabapentin and put me on Morphine and Vicoden but nothing truly helps the pain much. Lately my feet and legs can feel numb, tingling, buzzing, my feet cramp a lot. HYPERFLEXIA, GAIT/BALANCE ISSUES, COGNITIVE FUNCTION ISSUES AND MORE I now have hyper reflexes in my legs and feet, balance issues, dizziness, tinnitus that comes and goes, the involuntary muscle movements, and most recently cramps in my feet.

If Zoloft curbs stress and anxiety, and stress aggravates tinnitus, there may be just a cause and effect relationship, and not necessarily a medical relationship between the two. I'm sure other health factors could be involved as well.

I have had a thyroid issue for 9 years and I have dealt with Tinnitus on and off throughout. Last night I woke up with major ringing in my left ear and I would say a 25% loss in hearing. I went to the doctor this morning they do believe it may be caused by the Thyroid since I am way off still on my labwork results. Also, I do notice and I don't know if this is part of it but when I drink alcohol I tend to get the ringing that night and last night I had a glass of wine while out.

it sounds like you have tinnitus. I suffer from it and have done for years. here's some more info for you http://en.wikipedia.

s disease, Otosclerosis, circulatory problems all can lead to tinnitus. The cause of your tinnitus and the associated symptoms are important for determining the correct cause and management of your condition. I hope it helps. Best luck and regards!

Does Tensor Tympani Muscle have any problem and causes hissing and roaring tinnitus in some cases because of muscle tension. And does it cause pressure fullness, ear pain, jaw pain? If i have problem with my inner ear, why should have pain in jaw? In my case jaw pain happens because of middle ear problems.

I began taking Gabapentin for the electricity and muscle spasms in my legs. My initial dose was 100 mg at bedtime. Now, I am up to 100 mg 3 times daily. It has helped greatly, but recently I have been having some break-through spasms. I do not recall having had any "vibrations" from the medication itself.

Try valsalva maneuver (take a deep breath and blow while pinching your nostrils shut and closing your mouth). Tinnitus can also be a psychological problem. Hence get a psychiatric assessment too. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

What you PROBABLY have is a bad case of tinnitus. Tinnitus is the ringing you're hearing and it is associated with loss of hearing, depression, and sleep disturbances. The pain is probably caused by hyperacusis, which is another condition that sometimes comes with tinnitus and makes you very sensitive to noise. There is no "cure" for tinnitus, but there are treatments. Eating healthy, exercising, keeping busy, and reducing stress can help.

i asked as i suffer with tinnitus...and the last few months tho it is always there..it used to be at bed time or when there was quiet around me..so it was more noticeable..but i had a bump in a car about a month ago and since then it is more aggrivated.. i hope you find the answers your looking for and sorry i couldnt of been of more help..

If you are really desperate, I read an article on the internet written by a person who has researched tinnitus for a LONG time..tried drugs and surgery...and finally came up with a holistic approach and says he/she(?) is cured. There are lots of other testimonies from other tinnitus sufferers on that web site....but of course, when you are selling something....you have to read with a lot of discretion. Just thought you might want to at least have a looksie....

I worked for a non-profit for 7 years that serviced hard of hearing and deaf persons. Tinnitus was something we dealt with and it was non-reversible. HOWEVER. A number of the conditions we experience on treatment seem to reverse when the drugs stop. As in nygirl's situation, I hope the same for you. What I'm thinking is that it's yet another reason to keep hgb up in reasonable numbers. That's what I'm thinking, anyway.

Hello I am 28 years old and this is what is going on. I have been sick on and off for the past 2 months, on March 5th my body gave up and my husband took me to the ER where they diagnosed me with pneumonia. Was put on antibiotics for 5 days and cough medication.

Cessation of therapy resulted in rapid clinical resolution with mild residual hearing loss and tinnitus. This case report illustrates vestibulocochlear and autonomic nervous system adverse effects of pegylated interferon-alpha-2b/ribavirin, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and cessation of therapy to prevent permanent neurootologic injury.

Then we moved on to gabapentin. First 600 mg daily for about 6 months and then 900 mg daily in 3 doses, and then as the roaring starting seeping through, up to 1200 mg daily. My Mayo doc likened the disease to a forest fire: you hope that at the end some trees will still be standing. From the time of the initial worsening, they estimated 3 yrs for all the nerve damage to be complete.

I have taken gabapentin and xanax for 10+ years without problems. Xanax is a shorter acting benzodiazapine then librium. You may find you need less librium with gabapentin.

I have tinnitus for almost 2 months now along with ear ache and ear popping when I swollow. I was tested for allergies and have pet allergies and seasonal allergies. I have been on Rhinocort, Zyrtec, and Singular. Some of my allergies are being controlled like itchy eyes, congestion, and runny nose but the ear ringing, pain, clogging persists.

No one can tell me how to stop the continual buzz in my head that started 10.24.11 and has NOT stopped since. Antibiotics and anxiety meds dont help. The ENT said it was tinnitus. (wow, i developed tinnitus with an acute onset????) THere are tons of people posting on the web asking the same question you do.....why isnt anyone getting any answers????
