> You could always lower the dose. With some simple home tricks you can make a custom dose just about any size. My Lyme doctor had patients start on a single drop...1/10th mg...some patients did well on as little as 1mg. But the tinnitus....hmmm...I don't know maybe a lower dose would help, but still it's just kind of worrisome, almost like the body is trying saying the stuff is toxic or something.
> I am prone to tinnitus and many meds make it worse. One that actually made it better, almost silent, and helped with mood problems a lot, was Savella.

Thanks bleauberry. Like you I have a mild tinnitus that gets worse with drugs or stimulatns, it´s not caused but aggravated by escitalopram.
Maybe I try taking it at night. Feeling sleepy makes me depressed, I am very tired of this.
Good to know about milnacipran. Unfortunately it is not covered by my health plan like tianeptine, but it is cheaper. I am not sure which one to choose in case I switch.
