tinnitus
"I've had a little tinnitus for years in my left ear but the last year has been the worst.
I suddenly lost alot of hearing in my right ear and now the tinnitus is so loud in my brain it's all I think about.  I had a prescription for Xanax that I only used for anxiety very rarely.  30 pills lasted at least 6 months, but I read that Xanax may help tinnitus and started taking a half of .5mg pill each night before bed and it saved my life.
My ENT doctor won't give me Xanax for some reason she told me to go back to my PCP, she suggested Melatonin which gave me startling nightmares and my PCP wants me to come in each time he renews the prescription.  I don't care for my PCP but I'll go back to him and I'm sure he'll lecture me on the Xanax."
