Unfortunately there is no drug at the moment that can effectively treat Tinnitus.
That of course won't stop your doctor prescribing a range of Tinnitus medication drugs that are meant to help.
These rarely do since they only mask the effects of Tinnitus or make you drowsy so you can sleep better.
Better success in treating Tinnitus has bee achieved by focusing on the actual causes of Tinnitus, rather than the symptom itself.
Tinnitus is really a reaction, a symptom of something else going on in the body and because of that there never will be a Tinnitus medication that will cure the condition.
Medication is available that tends to reduce the amount of ringing in the ears but its effects are usually not permanent and often, over time, the Tinnitus can get worse while taking the drugs.
This just leads to further stress and frustration for sufferers.
The favorite mixtures of medication given by doctors include anti depressants, muscle relaxants, sleeping pills or even anti psychotics.
While these may give temporary relief they do nothing to address the actual problem and naturally people don't want to be taking these sorts of drugs permanently.
A lot of these medications are even known to increase the Tinnitus problem so people should be very careful what they let into their own bodies.
Although medication is probably the first route people try, there are alternatives to taking the drugs and some of the more natural treatments have been shown to produce better results.
The best treatments focus, not on the symptom of Tinnitus but on the specific causes that lead to the ringing in the ears.
Identifying and removing the conditions that cause the Tinnitus usually results in it going away.
It seldom returns since there is no reason for it to return.
Making some healthy changes to your lifestyle and reading up on methods to remove the causes are often much more successful that taking Tinnitus medication and are usually all that is required to get rid of Tinnitus for good.
