For me, ssri's or zyprexa or xanax or klonopin reduce sensitivity to light and noise. Zyprexa worked the best, but I never knew it until I was off of it.
But there is a natural substance that works well. The amino acid taurine. You could try it real cheap. Try 250mg, a few hours later try another 250mg, and feel it out from there.
Magnesium can also reduce the threshold for input sensitivity. Magnesium glycinate is a popular one for that.
Light and sound sensitivity can be a chemical imbalance where glutamate is too high compared to other neuros. Either raise the other neuros with an ssri, or dampen down the glutamate with one of the suggestions listed above.
