Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / January 2004Is it due to Ativan or good sleep?
When I have a good night sleep using a pill named ATIVAN, the ringing in the brain is reduced substantiously in daytime. Please pardon my naivete, is the lowering of the ringing due to good sleep or that particular brand of medicine named ATIVAN. That is to say, if I could achieve good night sleep without ATIVAN or with other brands, would I still be able to achieve lowered ringing? Thanks, FP > When I have a good night sleep using a pill named ATIVAN, the ringing > in the brain is reduced substantiously in daytime.

Whether or not the ringing is lowered, a well rested, unstressed person is more likely to habituate T. After all, if one's frame of mind is such that the noise can be successfully ignored, then T is no longer a controlling factor in one's life. > > When I have a good night sleep using a pill named ATIVAN, the ringing > > in the brain is reduced substantiously in daytime.

Well francis, I thought about buying a supply of Ativan myself for intermittent use in short courses. I think the sound is lowered becuase lorazepam provides a boost for the inhibitory effect of gaba at the receptor sites on the surface of neurons. In simple terms it lowers the intensity of messages passed between nerves in your brain. It MIGHT have an effect on auditory evoked response or such, but its probably due to the effect of gaba and the attenuation of norpinephrine and suchlike. Maybe I should take up the biology open university course in home study :) ? > > > When I have a good night sleep using a pill named ATIVAN, the ringing > > > in the brain is reduced substantiously in daytime.

So you have not done it but be prepared to getting addicted.

That would mean no other ordinary sleeping pills could take away the role of lowering the ringing. That also means good night sleep is not necessary connected with lowered ringing. Am I wrong?

That's what I think the earplug does; helps me habituate T. I should have explaned it better, My noise is still there loud and clear now that I think about it. it's bearable and isn't screetching or intolerable ringing, but it sounds exactly like a late August night in the midwest U.S... Random crickets and tree frogs! Very bizarre. Mine is damage to the inner ear from Meniere's Disease and perhaps partially being generated from my brain, not totally sure. Anyway, take care, J.G. > > a well > > rested, unstressed person is more likely to habituate T. After all, if [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > being generated from my brain, not totally sure. Anyway, take care, > J.G. Yep, exactly like mine. Having spent 2/3 of my life in Minnesota and North Dakota, I'm very familiar with these sounds. I can still hear the frogs but on more than one occasion I've asked "Is that crickets or am I just hearing things?" Maybe familiarity helps. Those summer sounds never kept me from sleeping and, in fact, I enjoyed them while they lulled me to sleep. >on more than one occasion I've asked "Is that crickets or am I just hearing >things?" ................................

But I am having a hard time shaking off ATIVAN and trying to sleep with other help such as melatony. FP |
