Didn't you take Wellbutrin as well? That has more of reputation of causing tinnitus. I remember you once posted a link to a page of otoxic drugs and it actually recommended mirtazapine but then there was the link to that list and Wellbutrin was on it.

"Antidepressants
It should also be noted that, while not strictly ototoxic, prescription antidepressants can cause or worsen tinnitus for some people. Both the older, tricyclic, and the newer, SSRI, antidepressants have this capability. Among the tricyclics, Clomipramine and Amitriptyline are among the most frequent offenders. The SSRI antidepressants include Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa and Luvox. These are listed in the Physicians Desk Reference as frequently causing tinnitus. One good choice for many people with both tinnitus and depression is the older medication Remeron, which has not been reported to cause tinnitus."Post-SSRI syndrome: iatrogenic anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. [NOTE no sadness or anxiety]
