 Thy im taking pain killers, anti inflammatories, anti depresents, beta blockers as well I have the contraceptive implant.

ive been suffering with tinnitus for the last year and in the past few weeks Its driven me to the brink of insanity.

im not addicted to cocodamol before anyone says anything, it's just so happens that that is the pain relief I'm prescribed.

and if it is causing my tinnitus and could potentially make it go away I will happily see my doctor and tell them I don't want to take it anymore.

will my tinnitus go away? I never suffered before, I don't go to concerts or put myself in situations where my hearing could be damaged.

its driving me crazy!!

    Hi. Paracetamol which is part of Cocodamol can cause tinnitus so I would see your GP because long term it can lead to deafness.

    Hi,

    I suffer from tinnitus also and take cocodamol with anti depressants, diazepam, temazepam, propananol. I was prescribed Lyrica and must admit they slightly help with the tinnitus. Only thing is there are side effects with all of these. Hardest thing for me is trying to come off cocos. I am getting help but it's hard with the cold turkey feeling when you don't take cocos regularly! 

    I hope you feel better but with tinnitus you have to learn to live with it and it can be done as I've done it. Good luck my friend, best advice has already been said, see your doc. Cheers
