[ny...] Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 My only symptom is tinnitus since getting down low in dosage on this taper. It seems if I go to fast I get the T bad a few days later, but if I hold for a few days, I still get it a few days later. There seems to be no rhyme or reason. I didn't take my supplements yesterday (Gingko, Chamomile tea, Magnesium, fish oil, CoQ10) and wonder if that could have played a part. I do get a little itchy when the T is bad, nothing major, but seems to coincide. I developed T when I went CT for 8 days and has gotten better since I reinstated, but never gone. Very concerned as many people have said T is last to go and sometimes permanent. Having played in a very loud rock band for many years I would assume my hearing is damaged, but never had problems until now. The T is annoying not debilitating, but much better when I'm out and around people. It's when I'm alone at home, and things are quiet, the whistling kettle plays it's symphony for me.

[Ry...] Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 It's my main w/d symptom. Everything else comes and goes but the tinnitus is eternal. I was hoping it would end as I stabilize and was gonna use it as my stabilization benchmark, but that doesn't seem to look like it's gonna happen.

[Er...] Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Mine gets louder and softer depending on how my other sxs are. If I am feeling pretty good, the tinnitus is pretty low but if I am in a wave it is usually pretty high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[2t...] Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I got tinnitus from a fast taper, dr told me to go from .5 k to .25 for a week then .25 every other day for a week then stop. Managed about 5 days of first week and got real bad tinnitus and other w/d things and had to reinstate. tinnitus goes up and down depending where I am in my cut cycle, strange thing is though Its been relatively quiet for the last couple of days (Last night going to sleep was magic) and from history it should be louder, I am now at 0.195mg of k starting at 0.5mg so I can only hope it will get better as I go lower, I wont hang my hat on that though so as not to be really Peed off if it comes raging back.

[ny...] Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Fortunately you weren't on a high dose and you weren't on a long time. Go slow and you will be off soon, from everything I've gathered, you will be fine with the Tinnitus, it might just take some time. Good luck!
