What is Neurontin?

Neurontin is not an anti-depressant and it is not a remedy for tinnitus. It is supposed to decrease the chances that a person will have seizures; however, there are very severe side effects from taking this medication. It may worsen other symptoms that a person may be suffering from, such as sever mood changes, depression, excessive nervousness, and other illnesses. People tend to think of suicide while they are taking it. These people sometimes become agitated to the extent that they are hostile to others. Some people will experience some type of allergic reactions from taking Neurontin, such as swelling in the glands, hives, a fever; and they may experience breathing difficulties. Patients may develop sores around their eyes, throat, lips, and tongue. Their behavior may change, as some patients have started stealing for no apparent reason. The side effects of the Neurontin/Gabapentin drug are far worse than the healing aspects of the drug. There are far better drugs now days.

This drug also causes people to develop Tinnitus or Hyperacusis. Tinnitus is an ear disorder that causes people to hear noises in their ears, such as ringing, popping, and movements inside the ear. They may experience tenderness in their ear canal, or/and drainage of the ear. Hyperacusis is when a person hears normal everyday sounds except the sounds are very over amplified.

Tinnitus goes farther than just hearing noises in your ear; it can be generated by a person’s brain. Many people who suffer from Tinnitus have tried hypnotherapy, medications, diverting their thoughts by listening to soothing sounds to keep from hearing the noises in their head, and much more.

Things that help Tinnitus

Others have made lifestyle changes that seemed to help somewhat, such as if you work around loud noises, or if you work in a silent surrounding. Ginkgo has a good track record for helping reduce the symptoms of Tinnitus and Hyperacusis. Some patients have had good results with hypnotherapy, and others haven’t. Habituation has made a tremendous difference in many Tinnitus patients. Tinnitus Retaining Therapy has an 80% success rate.

Conclusion

If you have experienced Tinnitus, you should go to the emergency room, or a medical doctor first; tell them what is happening, and request a CAT scan, however, an MRI will show much better results. Small tumors could have formed that will cause the Tinnitus. There have been 2 people out of 1000, who have developed Tinnitus from a tumor. You should ask your family doctor if there may be other illnesses that are causing this hearing abnormality. Illnesses such as diabetes or Zink deficiencies may be the cause. You should have a hearing test done. If none of these help you, seek some Tinnitus Retaining Therapy. Many drugs can help, although before you spend the money on these drugs, you should always do research over the internet, to find out what these drugs do, and especially what the side effects are, because the side effects could be worse than the medicine itself.

If you have any of these symptoms you should first seek medical help, but you should also try some of these ideas to experiment to see if they help you.
