antidepressants that don’t cause tinnitus

[Meldge]

been on sertraline that caused T most likely with phenegan last year

On zopiclone for sleep and no antidepressants

Trazedone mirtazapine St John’s wort saffron 5 htp all cause tinnitus with me

Any other suggestions? It will have to be one that doesn’t put serotonin levels up & targets dopamine on noradrenaline

Bupropion?

melge, just because these medications cause YOU tinnitus doesn’t mean that they cause tinnitus for anyone else. I suspect that if you were to read the pack inserts for many drugs they say ‘can exacerbate tinnitus’ or similar.

Anxiety itself may well make tinnitus worse.

Your requirements are very specific so if you aren’t getting anywhere with your doctor, your pharmacist might be able to suggest something.

Or you could call the experts on tinnitus, the British Tinnitus Association, open 9 to 5 M to F. They have a webchat during these hours too.

Hi. Ive had noise induced Tinnitus 14 years and found Mirtazapine safest in my experience and honest opinion for anxiety. Mirtazapine can help with sleep too so you wouldnt need any other sleeping meds hopefully which maybe harmful to hearing too, who knows hey. Tbh living with Tinnitus is a bloody minefield, much more for me now as im at the severe, unmaskable life changing stage now. Look after your T best you can, out of everything having covid (twice) has had the worst effect on mine, my hyperacusis and my hearing in all my years. I wish you well.
