In reply to RE EFFEXOR-DID ANYONE HAVE TINNITUS SYMPTOMS, posted by Nurtureman on October 17, 2003, at 16:38:36
Tinnitus? Oh yeah. I just (2 days ago) went up to 150mg/day efexor MR (75 twice a day, 'cos it's less of a rollercoaster) and the very mild tinnitus I used to have has got louder.
Efexor is doing a lot to improve my mood, though, and the ringing doesn't bother me much (especially with music, traffic noise etc. to distract me) so I'm happy. Ish. Better than paroxetine, anyway. (sweat, shake, squint, wobble, etc)
> Did not know until recently that the ringing in my ears was probably due to 225mg daily dose of Effexor-XR I've been taking for nearly a year. Prior to this, I was on a 150mg daily. The ringing in my ears has worsened since dosage was increased but my doctor never made the connection. After nearly five years on an anti-depressant, I'm coming off Effexor gradually starting today.
