I have suffered with tinnitus for the best part of 5 years, and had mostly accepted and come to terms with it, almost to the point where days and weeks would go by without realising it was there, I have had a few relapses over the years, but have always managed to bounce back quite quickly, until now.
To cut a long story short, I was diagnosed with PTSD back in May after a cycling accident last October, I had some CBT treatment which greatly exacerbated the issues, and I was struggling to cope, so was put on antidepressants.
The first lot of antidepressants didn't really do much after the first couple of weeks, so I was changed onto a different one, this was two weeks ago.
A week after I started to notice some bad side affects, and as a result of those it became apparent that my tinnitus was getting worse because of it, the side affects got worse until I had to have an emergency appointment as I was on the brink of a mental breakdown, this was yesterday.
So here I am, suffering with the worst tinnitus I've ever had, and not really sure which way to turn next.
