I have had tinnitus for about three years now. Maybe it accounts for why I hate the world 
Stims make it worse, extra sleep helps it out. My ears are 100% healthy! Its not my ears, an ENT ruled that out. No its my brain, over firing neurons and such. The problem with this...is its not a normal source of the phantom noise so there are no real treatments for it. You just have to grin and bear it.
Here is the kicker. Generally I never notice it. My mind adapted and learned to block it out 90% of the time with some meditation and retraining of my mind.
I just started Wellbutrin. Its been long overdue, and anyone who knows me more personally knows that some of the emotional swings they may see even on the forums is from something deeper lol.
Have not felt as good as I do now since I was in my early 20's before the world caved around me.
Side effect? Well I have no negative side effects that you are warned about! But I do have an issue...more activity in the brain with more dopamine, norepherine, and the other one I forgot...Means my tinnitus is blasting like a jet engine. The second I walk in my apartment and the worlds sounds vanish... the scream becomes apparent. Or if I drive without the radio on.
The point: Help
I have asked on forums before and had some help and advice, maybe here but I cant remember anymore. But since I adapted I kind of just went with it. But right now even with happy pills in my body I know it will only be a matter of time before this crap drives me from sanity.
Anyone who has had severe tinnitus knows the feeling of wishing for death just to stop hearing it. Its psychologically devastating.
