not understanding your statement you take xanax every night , and you want to know if symptoms could be xanax withdrawl you dont mention stopping or tappering down on the xanax, in either case I first would recommend you not stop xanax with out drs advice on how to tapped down, its rare or sometimes dangerous to stop cold turkey, and I stand by advice to see a neurologist. could be that I am wrong but I firmly believe in ruling out the physical before assuming the psychological.
I take Xanax too but have not had any side effects but that doesn't mean someone else wouldn't.
If the ringing in your ears, headache, etc. are relatively new I would tend to agree with Cherie762 and maybe get a referral to a neurologist just to rule out any other possibilities.
I also take .75 - 1mg of xanax every night before bed. I have been taking that for about 4 months. Could this be xanax withdrawal or something?
God...
I have horrible tinnitus from Effexor. As soon as I stop taking it, the buzzing goes away. but those horrible side effects come on full force (even just after 24 hours). It's a toss up and right now, I choose the ringing over the withdrawal symptoms. Either way, it's a horrible way to live.
I can work with the ringing. I cannot work with the withdrawal symptoms.
When I tried Cymbalta for the first time recently, it caused ringing in my ears big time. I had to turn the TV on just to drown out the ringing.
So, yes, it could be the Zoloft.
I have never heard of any antidepressant cause tinnuitus ( ear ringing) if your getting headaches too, and especially if the depression is new, I would highly recommend you see a neurologist for a emg, rule out anything physical,
When I took Zoloft a few years ago I had a terrible time with it. My shrink took me off it because the side effects were so bad. Zoloft effects people different ways but for me I had the ear ringing, stomach problems, headaches and felt disconnected. Can you ask your dr for something different? I think Paxil, Prozac and Zoloft are all in the same "family" but your dr would know better.
Hope you feel better soon.
