Hey, my docs put me on buspar for the anxiety,which dosen't have the floaty feelings that xanax can cause. The down side is that it takes a couple of weeks to really start working, but if the anxiety is really bad xanax can be used short-term and the anti-depressants& buspar can also be taken, dropping the xanax when the buspar kicksa in. I also was on cisplatin chemo, and my nurses asked me daily if I hadb any ringing in my ears which is a sign that the chemo is damaging your ears. However, I went almost deaf by the end of rad/chemo. My ears had pluggedup with so much wax and dead skin they had to flush them twice to get all the gick out. Hopefully that's what the problem is...hope this helps...
