Lots of information here. http://eebee.net/TinnitusIsaPainintheNeck.shtml Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ >Hi, I have been having this ringing in my right ear and its been bothering >me for awhile now I have been taking celexa a anti-depressent for panic >attacks this was before these ringing noises started I think the pills >might have something to do with it but my docter doesn't think so does >anybody have any opinons on this and some insight thanks.

Todd, on behalf of dozens of excellent online Tinnitus resources that don't plug their sites in this newgroup, and, if it's resources you are looking for as opposed to a direct answer to your question, please start at the American Tinnitus Assoc (http://ata.org) You are 100% more likely to get opinions from experts there than from, well....other places. If you are lucky, someone in this newsgroup has been taken Celexa and can answer your question. My 86 year old Dad was just prescribed it in a very low dose, but he doesnt have Tinnitus. Also, you might search the archives of this newsgroup for Celexa. This ability is provided in the Google groups version of this ng. I dont know if your ng reader has this feature. Good luck. If and when you find an answer, please post back here. Thanx. Jim If you stop the pill, your will find the answer to your question. I interpret taking pills for panic attacks as a symptom that something has gone wrong with the nerve. Take a tablet of gingko biloba to help smooth out the blood circulation in your head and see if it helps your nerve. You never know, you may have your T sound softened by gingko. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ > Hi, I have been having this ringing in my right ear and its been bothering > me for awhile now I have been taking celexa a anti-depressent for panic > attacks this was before these ringing noises started I think the pills > might have something to do with it but my docter doesn't think so does > anybody have any opinons on this and some insight thanks. > If you stop the pill, your will find the answer to your question.

The only thing that can be wrong with "the nerve" is that you don't have enough of it. Panic attacks are not a symptom of lack of nerve. > \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ > > Hi, I have been having this ringing in my right ear and its been bothering > > me for awhile now I have been taking celexa a anti-depressent for panic > > attacks this was before these ringing noises started I think the pills > > might have something to do with it but my docter doesn't think so does > > anybody have any opinons on this and some insight thanks. > > If you stop the pill, your will find the answer to your question.

Panic attacks are not a symptom of lack of nerve. Whatever the reason, an improved blood circulation in the head can do a lot of good unless you come from a school of medical thought that belongs to the celestial world. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ > > \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ > > > Hi, I have been having this ringing in my right ear and its been bothering > > > me for awhile now I have been taking celexa a anti-depressent for panic > > > attacks this was before these ringing noises started I think the pills > > > might have something to do with it but my docter doesn't think so does > > > anybody have any opinons on this and some insight thanks. > > > If you stop the pill, your will find the answer to your question.

Improved blood circulation in the head can do some good if you have restricted blood circulation in the head. I think that would be a rare problem. I think panic attacks are more common, and they are related to an imbalance of neurotransmitters, which aren't in the blood. > \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > > > might have something to do with it but my docter doesn't think so does > > > > anybody have any opinons on this and some insight thanks. > > > > If you stop the pill, your will find the answer to your question.

An improved blood circulation can help restore the imbalance of neurotransmitters. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ > > > > > If you stop the pill, your will find the answer to your question.

I don't think so. But even your medical opinion is correct, icreasing blood flow to the brain would only help if restricted blood flow to the brain is the problem, in which case, you have a far more serious medical problem to deal with than tinnitus. > > > > > > If you stop the pill, your will find the answer to your question.

Are you saying that improved blood circulation to the brain is useless unless something has gone wrong first? > > > > > > > If you stop the pill, your will find the answer to your question. > > > > > > > I [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > Are you saying that improved blood circulation to the brain is useless > unless something has gone wrong first? I said increasing blood flow to the brain is useless unless the flow of blood to the brain is insufficient for some medical reason. For example, if you drink a glass of clean water when you are dehydrated, it will improve your body function. If you drink 1000 glasses of clean water, you will die. The brain cells can only use so much oxygen and nutrients. There is only so much CO2 and waste to carry away. We have evolved to have circulatory systems that operate within this necessary and sufficient range. Sending more oxygen and nutrients to the brain than the brain cells can use is at best wasteful. It is like taking more vitamin C than you need. The excess gets pissed away. As you get older, you do need improved blood circulation. It is not absolutely necessary but helps. Also, what happens in the head is so complex and is beyond many controlled studies are capable of. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ > > > > > > > > If you stop the pill, your will find the answer to your question. > > > > > > > > I [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > at best wasteful.

First you should find out if your blood circulation is impaired. If it is, you should find out how to fix the problem causing the impairment. > \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ > > [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > > at best wasteful.

Yes, if you take too much of it or too much of anything. I have been taking it for over a year now and it has not hurt me at all. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ First you should find out if your blood circulation is impaired. > If it is, you should find out how to fix the problem causing the > impairment.

If one person can take it without misfortune, it must be safe for everyone in the same dosage. > \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ > [quoted text clipped - 82 lines] > > > > at best wasteful.

Actually the problems with Gingko are not so much from Gingko, its adding the aspirin and other products that add to its blood properties that is often the problem. Often patients don't comprehend that Aleve and Aspirin are drugs. Vol. 11, No. 5, 2006 Consequences of Suppressing Thoughts about Tinnitus and the Effects of Cognitive Distraction on Brain Activity in Tinnitus Patients Gerhard Anderssona, c, Linda Jürisb, c, Elisabeth Classonb, Mats Fredriksonb, d, Tomas Furmarkb, d aDepartment of Behavioural Sciences, Linköping University, Linköping and bDepartment of Psychology, Uppsala University, cDepartment of Audiology, Uppsala University Hospital, and dUppsala Imanet AB, Uppsala University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden Audiology and Neurotology 2006;11:301-309 (DOI: 10.1159/000094460) Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of any appropriate external stimulus. Based on the clinical observation that tinnitus patients may distract themselves from their sounds, we performed an experimental test on the effects of suppressing thoughts about tinnitus with 45 tinnitus patients, to systematically evaluate the immediate consequences of suppressing thought vs. attending to tinnitus. Suppression instructions tended to lead to a subsequent decrease in tinnitus-related thoughts, whereas attention to tinnitus resulted in an increase in such thoughts. No effects were seen in a control group who neither suppressed nor attended to their tinnitus. In an independent positron emission tomography study of cerebral blood flow with 8 patients we found that silent backward counting ('serial sevens test') led to a decrease in neural activity in auditory cortex, as well as perceived decrease of tinnitus loudness and annoyance. Thus, distraction that altered the tinnitus experience seemed to attenuate auditory cortex activity. Copyright © 2006 S. Karger AG, Basel In summary, he found that counting backwards was a good source of distraction and that attending to other activities was beneficial. > Vol. 11, No. 5, 2006 snipped... > In summary, he found that counting backwards was a good source of > distraction and that attending to other activities was beneficial. And making love is the best................and the one next in line is fist fighting or boxing...and football....and getting drunk..... I can go on and on with the list without doing any controlled experiment. Unfortunately 2 years ago i was suffering from a mixture of tinnitus and an unknown nerve ill. While the sound was well tolerated, the somatic discomfort was not. NO doctor except an acupuncturist at that time was able to release me from my symptoms. None of the doctors, trained from pretigious medical schools, paid attention to the possible existence of an illness that existed alongside with tinnitus. My view is either these pretigious schools are not that pretigious at all or most doctors as a whole are very dumb people...to say the least. > > Vol. 11, No. 5, 2006 > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > are not that pretigious at all or most doctors as a whole are very dumb > people...to say the least. Or maybe you didn't work with any of those doctors to find the real problem.
