In reply to Side Effects - Ringing in Ear??, posted by Jo52 on August 4, 2004, at 8:46:33
> I started taking Effexor XR 75 mg three weeks ago. After the initial side effects of nausea and sleeplessness I thought it was all over. However, a week or so after beginning it I began to experience a horrible ringing in my left ear. I went to my GP who said she didn't see any problem with my ear. I researched tinnitus and found a listing of antidepressants being one cause. Has anyone else experienced this? My next stop will be an ENT Doc. Thanks!
I have minor tinnitus in my left ear that some antidepressants will exacerbate. In general, Wellbutrin is the one that is notorious for making people's ears ring, but I have had problems with other drugs causing my ear to act up and do strange things. I have not been to a specialist, but I believe I have some kind of minor inner ear damage from my younger days. I did not even realize I had this problem until about ten years ago.Todd
