If you poke into the subject of tinnitus on the web, you will occasionally see recommendations for the tricyclic AD nortriptyline in treating it. Indeed, I did find that it had some efficacy in treating the relatively minor tinnitus I have, subjectively reducing it perhaps 50-75% at a dosage of 50 mg/day. I've tried two other tricyclics and more than half a dozen other drugs--nortriptyline was the only one that had any real efficacy in this area. I also found it to be the best of all the drugs I've tried for my chronic headaches. Of course, it has antidepressant properties, as well.
