Hello all,

I have a few health concerns that are really getting to me lately. I hope you can help.

Basically, in mid December, due to many a reason, I developed severe, chronic insomnia. I was literally awake for over 3 weeks solid. Eventually and with great hesitation, I gave in to meds because of how bad my health got. I was hospitalized. Scary stuff. Anywho, even with sleeping pills, my sleep still wasn’t as restorative as it should be. Soooo, the doctors prescribed the infamous antidepressant, Effexor ( thinking that the insomnia is the outcome of some inner turmoil such as depression or anxiety). Hard to say really…Not sleeping for that long can mimic the worst of psychiatric disorders…Long story short,, I took effexor since January, and boy did it **** me up. So I was switched to another infamous one, Cymbalta. And again the side effects were intolerable. All the while takin sleeping pills and anti psychotics (for their apparent off label help with insomnia).

Throughout the course of the meds or for all i know, the ridiculously long period of sleepless nights, I developed a horrible pressure, tightness around my head, tinnitus in my right ear, and flashes and floaters in my eyes.

Approximately 2 months ago, I had enough, and against doctors orders, I started lowering the dosage of Effexor ( which i was put back on because the cymbalta effects were abit worse)…I was able to somehow get my sleep back too (after getting off that horrible stuff).

Which brings us to now… I am med free..Sleeping fine…Appetite back…Sexual desire back…Thinking is clear, coherant and cohesive…HOWEVER, its been 2 months of me sleeping again and not taking medication, and am still having that relentless, crushing, vice like feeling around my head 24/7…The ringing in my right ear is still louder than ever…And the flashes/ floaters in front of my eyes have not subsided…On top, I’m experiencing some weird "i don’t feel real" feelings too.Been to every which doctor and am not getting an answer I’m satisfied with. Could this be withdrawal from the meds, or some permanent damage from the long nights of sleeplessness or something else altogether..Had medical tests (blood work and MRI) 4 months ago. Everything ok…I don’t know whts goin on….My quality of life is greatly diminished, and I am growing increasingly desperate…Any help or insight is greatly appreciated….Any alternative therapies (other than acupuncture that might help?)Sorry for the length of the post….

btw…im a 24 yr old male if that matters…

During my freshman year of college I got a horrible cold and fever. The fever was so bad that I was hallucinating. After that I began experiencing tinnitus (ringing in my right ear) every since. It has never stopped since that night. It gets quieter but then sometime its really load an roaring. Another symptom I have is severe Vertigo with true Nystagmus. The vertigo happens when Im really upset, happy or sad. In extreme heat or cold. And also if I do anything that gets my heart rate up. So the vertigo is episodic. I’ve been getting tested for years. They’ve found white spots on my brain during MRI’s, I have clinical hearing differences in my right ear(tinnitus) but no clues to what is –or how to make it stop. I can’t even mop my floor without getting severe Vertigo and having to lay down til it ends–which can be 3hours to five complete days! If you know anything about this–or have experienced it please help. I need a way to make ths go away so I can enjoy playing with my daughter!

Mp3’s are dangerous because they "play" with the different frecuencies of music and probably some of you already had developed tinnitus due to the use of your different mp3 players. Do you agree with this?? Do you have tinnitus??

Involved in an auto accident in Oregon 10/2008. Other driver was at fault. Hit me on the freeway doing 100MPH and totaled my car. Both myself and the other driver are fully insured. 000 compensated to total my 1995 BMW. Going to physical therapy for 10 months for back pains. Going to neurologist for coclia damage (inner ear fibers) which has caused tinnitus. I have a 24/7 ringing in my ears which is most likely going to be permanent damage I will have to live with. 00 for a neurological device to sooth the ringing which really just keeps me from going insane. I cannot go camping and avoid silent area’s like the plague because the ringing is so intense. I am probably up to k-k in medical expenses. I missed approximately 1 week of work, plus having to take time off for all the doctors appointments.

What can I expect in settlement beyond my medical being covered for pain, suffering and permanent discomfort/ damage to my inner ear?

Thanks,
