In reply to Tinnitus Exacerbated By Lexapro: Temporary?, posted by Brainbeard on April 3, 2010, at 7:58:13
I experienced tinnitus on Lexapro. It actually is listed as a side effect in the PI, although not a common one. I used to be at 10mg and it was pretty bad. I told my doctor about it and how I thought it was related to the lex, he actually said no couldn't be, tinnitus is actually a symptom of bipolar. I had never heard that before.
I went down to 5mg for awhile and it seemed to diminish but was still there.
I have been off Lexapro for about 7 weeks now and tinnitus is still there but not as bad, it is tolerable to me at this point.
I did read that ginko can help, and I did try it for a couple months and it seemed to help a little but it's hard to say...
