Hi
I have been on antidepressants for a while. My doctor changes them to zispin recently, which I feel they are helping. I had a high pitch whisle in my ear slightl, and could also hear my heartbeat in my left ear. Since being on the new tablets it has made it louder and my blood pressure is up slightly, my face goes red and my head feels hot. I have been back to the doctor and he said he thinks it is tinnitus. He could only recomened that I make my ears pop a few times a day. I don't think I can live with this. But don't know what else to do. Any ideas would be appreciated.

My tinnitus started after taking prozac for just one week. I came off the prozac because of the tinnitus, and I still have it nearly 4 mths later.

As Long As I Remember...

I have had ringing in my ears for as long as I can remember but I do belive that antidepressants can make it worse...

I am on wellbutrin xl and effexor sr and I belive that they have caused it to get louder.

Not by much but enough that I notice.

I have no idea why it happens and no one can tell me... I've basicly been told that it is all, to parden the pun, in my head.

If you do find out why please post it!
