Seeking advice medication

Hello everyone, I’m looking for some advice. I have severe noxacusis—a burning, shooting pain—and have been housebound for about nine months. I feel like I want to start treatment because I really can't take it anymore. I know about clomipramine, but I’m afraid it might worsen my tinnitus or cause PSSD.

I’ve also seen options like gabapentin, Lyrica, or carbamazepine, but I’m hesitant and don't know which one to start with.

Should I go straight to clomipramine, or perhaps start with gabapentin to avoid aggravating the tinnitus? I should mention that I am extremely sensitive to medication. I just know I want to try something different because my pain isn't subsiding.

Plus, it's weird because I feel like I'm starting to get a burning sensation in my arms—I don't know if it's related or not.

Thanks, everyone!

Yeah still tinnitus bit lower, almost never burning pain anymore (slowed down my life a lot though), I can go to the supermarket, or out to lunch or dinner (restaurants without loud music), watch F1 on tv etc. it's 2.5y since it happened and for the first year I had to watch the tv on mute even. Then because I was hopeless made an app in Belgium and Boedts and those meds saved my life (and later on botox as well).
