I’m posting this with hope that someone can share their experience with this drug. I’m being prescribed 10mg of Aventyl to address “visceral sensitivity”. Basically, I have been experiencing IBS and GERD symptoms for a long time. Doctor thinks this drug can help. However I also live with Hyperacusis (sensitivity and pain to sound) as well as mild tinnitus. I read that this drug can cause or worsen Tinnitus and I’m very afraid.
I tried one dose last month and woke up with some ringing in my ears. I panicked and stopped.
However, the digestive symptoms are becoming too much to bear. I’m already on Mirtazapine. I’m terrified of losing weight because I’m starting to fear food again.

I know I sound like an absolute mess. I am very much in need of some hope or encouragement. I’m at my wits end.

I’m being prescribed 10mg for visceral sensitivity (whole bunch of other digestive issues). I already have H with mild T. I read this drug can make Tinnitus worse. I tried one dose and woke up with ringing in my ears. I’m scared to try again, but it seems like the only drug that can help with my stomach issues. I worked really hard to try and get my H to a better place. I have some mild lingering T. It feels like I have to trade one issue for another. Can anyone please give me some hope?

Hey everyone, I’m being prescribed nortryptyline for esophageal pain. I already suffer from Hyperacusis and mild T and I read that many people report developing T or have their T worsen while on this medication? Feeling a bit confused because I also read that it can be used to treat both H and T.
Does anyone have experience taking this drug?
If so, did you notice your T worsen or improve?

I’m really scared.. I’m tired of being in pain. I don’t know if I want to trade one issue for another. Could really use some hope.
