I am new to this list. I've had tinnitus for about 4 years caused by
repeated exposure
to loud noise. The tinnitus seems to be getting louder every year. I haven't
seen any

I started taking citalopram / Cipramil a week ago, and apart from all
sorts on non-nice side-effects I found that my tinnitus has defintely
gone "louder", i.e. worse.
My questions:

I've had mild T for many years, but the last month and esp. the
last two weeks I can't even read for very long because the high
pitched sound is so loud. My doc prescribed dyazide (triamterene).
After I got home, I checked on it, and it's not one of the meds

I got an ear infection and was prescribed some antibiotics to clear it up.
My hearing after this was still as bad as it was before so I went back to
the doctor and he said the infection had cleared up but that I had a lot of
wax and to use ear drops, which I started doing yesterday. ...

   This subject has probably been discussed here before, but I am wondering if
   anybody has any suggestions. I find it difficult to fall asleep, I am not sure if
   it is the tinnitus or me thinking about the tinnitus (although I think it is the
   tinnitus). I usually have ...

I just went to see Passion of the Christ.  Was that Nagler's hand
holding the hammer were the nails were being driven into Jesus' hands
& feet?  I'm pretty sure it was.  If it wasn't him it had to be a
direct relative of his.

I've been getting intermittent tinnitus for about 3 months.  It takes the
form of a hissing, like a gas escape, usually in the left, but sometimes in
both ears.  If it WAS escaping gas I would describe it as appearing to
originate from behind me somewhere.

I have posted this information on my Bulletin Board (3/11/04).  You will have to go to www.cedarpost.com and enter there.  This may be old information for some, but is new to me.  If you or someone you know suffers from Tinnitus, I think you will find this worth reading.

As my tinnitis gets worse I find I am losing weight. I think it's
because I'm constantly running to answer the door or telephone. Any idea
where I can get a custom ring tone for my tinnitis? :=)

Views, please.

My doctor advised me to take Prosac and slowly ease out of sleeping
pills (ATIVAN) for my tinnitus.
Any views welcomed.

I'm fighting an ongoing battle with my tinnitus and have been steady
at it for about a year and a half. I've reduced my primary battle
strategy to fighting inflammation..in my ears, on my skin and anywhere
and every where I can on my body.

My answer is that most doctors don;t have the time for us.
What is yours?

I have been taking these pills for the past few months.  Instead of
taking 2 a day, i take one after dinner.  The doctor says that 70% of
the users of this drug experience improvement in 3 months.  I wonder
if anyone has experience with this.
