Hi,
I posted before how I didn't feel too well after coming off from Pregabalin and Phenibut. It's now been over 4 weeks since I last took Pregabalin, and over 3 weeks since I last took Phenibut. I was experiencing heavy withdrawal symptoms for a few weeks but things got better.
I had a Septoplasty operation scheduled on Thursday, this was my first operation of any kind under general anaesthesia. All went well in terms of the anaesthesia and the operation itself, my nose is healing.
I got the septoplasty because of a deviated septum and wanted to see if it could improve my tinnitus, but mainly my condition would worsen as I aged so I proceeded regardless if it helped my ears or not, as my general wellbeing would improve a few days/ weeks after the operation.
Currently I'm feeling better physically than yesterday, but mentally I'm exhausted. I should be happy that today's going to be a good day, but for some reason I woke up early and am typing this out as my usual symptoms have worsened drastically and I wanted to check on here if anyone could have a clue what it could be from? I got prescribed a few drugs to help and an anti-biotic, so maybe it's one of these?
I've had these symptoms still before the operation: visual snow and visual disturbances, anxiety and tinnitus / ringing in ears. But it seems that all 3 have worsened dramatically after the operation. It could be from the drugs, it could be from the added stress mentally and physically that's taken a toll on my body and it'll just fix itself over the next few days, it could be from the anaesthesia, or maybe it's still from Phenibut/Pregabalin PAWS.
I did stop taking my vitamins, but that was Wednesday: Vitamin A, B, C, fish oils and omega 3, magnesium, NAC, alpha lipoic acid (I'll start taking most of them again soon)
The drugs that I'm wondering about: Cyclonamine 3x 2 pills daily for blood clotting, I suspect this although it has helped majorly as I was bleeding a lot yesterday
Pyralgine (METAMIZOLE) 3x a day , similar to Paracetamol for pain-relief, also a prime suspect, I will try and stop taking this soon but I'm still left with a bit of pain when I eat
Sulfarinol (nose drops) 4x a day
And Amoxicillin for anti biotic. With the anti biotic I'm also taking bacterial tablets to replace the good bacteria
Out of all of these, the ones that have some ototoxic reports could be metamizole but it'd be short term and people say amoxicillin isn't ototoxic but some report their T has spiked after these. Could it maybe be the cyclonamine? Although there's been tests done with it against Tinnitus.
I feel like my OCD and anxiety has significantly worsened due to my focus on the T getting louder, and more drastic observations with visual disturbances at night. I don't think I saw things as colorful and shaky as before the operation. Appreciate any help
