zoloft and tinnitus

by strineknoodle, Mar 03, 2008 02:13PM
I took Zoloft 200mg. for twelve years for grief (after the loss of my family) and ocd. It seemed to help a lot. I tapered off last year and when I was completely off it, I developed tinnitus in both ears. My GP and the ear doctor both said they knew of no connection; it was just a coincidence. I started Zoloft 50mg and the tinnitus subsided. At zoloft 100mg, it subsided even more, almost disappearing. I went off Zoloft completely again and the tinnitus returned with all its fury. I started again and the tinnitus once again subsided. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I'll keep taking Zoloft for tinnitus, even though I feel no need for an anti-depressant.

I guess in your situation, what ever works.  I have never know there to be a connection either. But again in your case you have proved it works for you..

Your not alone.  I have never had tinnitus in my entire life, I started taking Klonopin for 8 months, one time a night for sleep, then tapered off, then stopped.  Ever since then, I have developed chronic, non stop tinnitus, for months I've had to listen to ringing in my ears, it's a w/d symptom, and doctors are not educated enough to admit problems associated with psych med w/d's.  It's never the medication, causing symptoms they prescribed them.  But what's happening to you is being caused by Zoloft w/d's,.
