Took Tegretol for 1 month, and ears started ringing worse and worse. After I stopped taking it, it has been solid nonstop for 4 months now. I'm pretty sure it's going to stay with me forever, unfortunately. There should be a lawsuit against them for this. It's not listed as a side effect, and really has gotten old.

Oxaliplatin treatment 6 years ago suspected by oncologist to be related to the tinnitus that has been a condition since the oxaliplatin was administered. The oncologist has not offered any treatment alternatives for the tinnitus. Is there any data demonstrating effective treatment for chemotherapy related tinnitus?

Body temperature raised at certain times not always. Nightmares were very bad. This is most unusual for me as I sleep very well and NEVER have nightmares. Insomania at night, wide wake unable to settle. Feelings of "tightness" head face, chest. Outbreak of cold sores on lips and nose. ( too much friction of wiping?)

I wish to know whether it is advisable to take flaxseed and thyroxin. I have done this for many years and recently my thyroxin has been decreased from 125 to 100 effectively so seems OK but would appreciate your opinion. Thank you.

I do not know the answer to "Recovered", as I am still taking this drug along with Levoflaxacin.
