Answers are for informational purposes only.

 

Yes, it can Nancy.

 

This is anxiety for sure. It may be partially due to the clonazepam not working anymore.

 

Okay so you had the tinnitus worked up correctly. That means that is benign.

 

You should focus on relaxation techniques.

 

Count back from 10 to 1 taking a deeper breath each time. Techniques like this can help.

Yes, the tolerance and anxiety can cause this.

The anxiety is probably causing the paranoia.
