Hello
I rather hijacked another poster's question earlier, so I thought I would post my own. I was surprised to read in that post and some of the replies that Sertraline could cause tinnitus. I have had full-on screechy pulsy tinnitus for about a year now. And I have been taking sertraline for about 2 years. I have had a look at the leaflet and it doesn't list it as a side effect, but reading here has made me question that.
Does anyone else have evidence or anecdotes about this?
I was thinking of going back to my doctor to see if coming off Sertraline might help, as the tinnitus is not helping my anxiety and depression , which is why I started taking anti-depressants in the first place! I am on 50 mg a day.
I am trying sound therapy but it doesn't seem to be working yet, i have been trying that for the last 3 months.
It just makes me feel so depressed and in a dark place and I just want to get rid of it
thanks for any suggestions
LL
