Thanks for the info.
Lexapro and Remeron were my next choices. Although Remeron doesn't list tinnitus as a side effect, RXlist.com has hypercausis and ear pain as one (which I have both had from Effexor and Elavil) so that has me worried. But I think Elavil has them all.
I almost want to try something without the 5HT2 antagonism, because Effexor once worked for me in the past after a few weeks when I absolutely could not go to sleep.
What would be a few options for other AD's or SSRI's without 5HT2 antagonism? I would probably just take an Ativan while they started working, which usually helps get me to sleep (although I can't take them too long)
