Wellbutrin and tinnitus: I'm going to scream!

Posted by Lorelai on September 11, 2002, at 8:53:32

My pdoc started me on Wellbutrin a while back. At first things seemed to go well. I lost some weight I'd gained on other meds and had a few weird side effects (agitation that resulted in a brief return to some OCD behaviors for one), but the side effects seemed short-lived and I figured I could handle them. I'd had a brief bout with tinnitus and it went away. Now it's back with a vengeance. For about 4 days now I've gone through agony with this extremely high-pitched squeal going on in my head. It never lets up. I saw my pdoc yesterday and complained and she wrote it down and said to lower my Wellbutrin dose. Well, a lot of good that does me. I want to just stop taking it altogether. Right now! And see if that helps. Has anyone else experienced ringing in the ears with Wellbutrin? If so, did it go away when you stopped taking it? I'm really climbing the walls!
Thanks,
Lorelai
