Antidepressants help tinnitus?
« on: June 17, 2011, 07:33:31 pm »
I am curious to know if anyone out there has experienced this. I have recently stopped taking the antidepressant that I have been on for about 2 years now (lexapro). I swear my tinnitus seems louder. Do you think that maybe antidepressants make tinnitus a little quieter?? Don't get me wrong, my head noise is awful even with the med. But a little quieter is better than nothing!

I think it depends on what anti depressent you are taking. I have been on Zoloft for years, and my tinnitus is as loud as ever. I even increased the dosage and that did not help at all. It does help with my anxiety issues somewhat, but as far as the ringing/noises in my ear, it has done nothing at all to stop it. So, maybe there is something out there that helps, but IMO, zoloft is not one of them.
