In reply to Any SSRI that does not increase tinnitus?, posted by Franz on January 15, 2012, at 19:53:15
I have the same problems. Most meds do that to me. The few that I have found that actually make it quieter instead of louder include only three categories: Savella, Rhodiola, benzos, and some of the adaptogens (siberian ginseng, ashwaghanda, schizandra, rhodiola), nortriptyline.
All of the above will increase my tinnitus for a few days but then it gets quieter. Any other substances it gets louder and stays louder.
It's a tough problem. Some people say the psych meds are poison for the brain. I don't know if that is true or not. All of the ssris made my tinnitus worse, wellbutrin was really bad, antipsychotics do it too, remeron, so many.
Bottom line, I think you just have to experiment with different things to see what helps you feel better but keeps the tinnitus down at the same time. Easier said than done, I know.
