It was prescribed to me by an ENT doctor at the Mass Eye and Ear in Boston, and it does help but puts me into a daze in the early morning, like till about 10-am. I usually go for a two mile walk and wander around Waterville Valley as a way to walk off the Nortriptyline daze and for mental health purposes.
You know there can be a dark and deadly end with tinnitus that makes some tinnitus sufferers go off the deep end, and actually do it to themselves ..... http://www.forbes.com/sites/ninashap...h=b630a8529403 which is a very good reason to not have a hand gun ...... is too easy ..... is too deadly. People with suicidal thoughts can get over it and regain their sense of well being. Sticking a gun in your ear is not a good way to fix your tinnitus problemo ....... like NO kidding ....

Is there a mention of a firearm-suicide--if so--where? 
Another tricyclic (Amitriptyline) was prescribed for me after a long bout of sleeplessness caused by Prednisolone eye drops. (Shingles-related
iritis).
It may be an "old standby", but try harder to adjust to the high pitch of tinnitus' "ringing", than to rely on prescription drugs.
Consider your long-standing
free caffeine "fix" to be the trigger of the problem.
