Tinnitus Feedback

If you have Tinnitus, please help others by adding your feedback. What would you tell someone about that sound?


Subj: Effexor
Date: 6/22/2007
Through your experience if we catch this horrible noise through prescription pills such as effexor will the noise soon rid itself or is tinnitus here to stay? I took a trial pack and did not like the way it made me feel so I stopped after 2 weeks. Is that long enough to be critical or is it like anything can happen?
Jame

AskDocWeb: The ringing should stop once you stop the pill that is causing it, it is not permanent.


Subj: Drug: Losartan
Date: 9/11/2007
I feel at times this Tinnitus is about to drive me out of my head - leaving it there to take over! At night there are moments when it waits me up. After talking to a number of Physicians, where I usually get a shrug, I have changed over to Lisinopril but promptly moved back to Losartan. Is there anything that I can do, take, eat that will minimize this racket in my head? Obviously I cannot stop taking the script.
Jim

AskDocWeb: An ear nose and throat specialist may be able to help you with the Tinnitus.


Subj: Permanent issues?
Date: 10/5/2007
I just started Lamictal for depression, but I hope it also help my current tinnitus. I noted tinnitus as side effect, but are they're any accounts of it causing permanent issues?
Stewart

AskDocWeb: There are no accounts of anything permanent from Lamictal.


Subj: Omeprazole the same as Nexium?
Date: 11/9/2007
Is omeprazole the same as Nexium? I am assuming this is a partial list and analogues can cause tinnitus especially if you take a combination of drugs, which individually can cause this condition. I've had it for several months now, and it hasn't gone away!
Gerald

AskDocWeb: Since Nexium is derived from Prilosec (omeprazole) we would expect about the same side effects.


Subj: Zonegran for migraines
Date: 12/20/2007
I take zonegran for migraines, I have a weird noise in my left ear, could this drug be causing this noise? it sounds like a crushing/crunching noise when I am in a quiet room. Is this dangerous? please advise.
Rebecca

AskDocWeb: Have your ear examined by your physician, it could be a couple of things but it needs to be looked at first to determine what it is. Tinnitus is not listed as a side effect of Zonegran.


Subj: Tinnitus crickets
Date: 12/28/2007
I took topamax for 18mos, also was on naprosen (changed to mobic), welbutrin, thyroid, prilosec, singular, xanax, melatonin, and began tinnitus in both ears. It is with the heartbeat, and after stopping naprosen, then topamax, stopped in the right ear and lessened in the left. I tried to restart topamax after 6 weeks, but the sound returned overnight. I continue with the sounds, I call crickets, mostly in the left ear. I also swim the back stroke 2x week for 30 min. I now read that almost everything I take has tinnitus as a side effect. What else can I try since I need some of these meds to have a good lifestyle or sleep. Thanks.

AskDocWeb: You will have to consult with your doctor for something that specific.


Subj: High pitched buzzing
Date: 12/31/2007
Hi, I was taking Lamictal in the sample pack for clinical depression. I noticed a really high pitched buzzing in my ear on the second day of dosing. I told my doctor and he said take it for a few more days to see if the symptoms subside. The sounds got worse and night sweats started. I took it for 15 days total. It has been 5 days and the buzzing is driving me crazy! How long will this take to go away? I am going crazy. It sounds like I have a constant buzz, hum and rattle. I also still have the night sweats. I would not that my dreaming is immensely vivid in depth as I wake up soaked. Neither were problems before Lamictal. Is there anything that I can take at this time.
Anthony

AskDocWeb: That high-pitched buzzing sound may or may not go away with continued use. As for alternative drugs, that is best left up to your doctor.


Subj: Vancomycin HCL
Date: 1/9/2008
I was prescribed Vancomycin HCL for cellulitis. I was having a drug reaction to another antibiotic, so was given this. I have had tinnitus condition for a number of years, but this medication seems to have increased the volume a bit. I stopped taking it after 5 days. Q. Will this higher volume of tinnitis quiet down or do I have this permanently?
James

AskDocWeb: It should quiet down. When discontinued, some ototoxic medications (such as Vancomycin), result in complete recovery of hearing and cessation of associated symptoms such as tinnitus.


Subj: Nexium
Date: 3/4/2008
I think I have narrowed down my tinnitus/head noise to starting Nexium. I took Omeprazole before and had no problems (other than it didn't work as well), but is anyone else having this problem with Nexium???
Vee


Subj: Diclofenac Sodium and Tinnitus
Date: 7/26/2008
I was prescribed Diclofenac Sodium for pain in the ankle/socket of the leg. I have Tinnitus before I took Diclofenac Sodium. Before after taking it, the volume of the ringing sound increases a lot until I have problem of getting into sleep. Will this increase in volume of the ringing sound be permanent or temporary? Will the volume be lower if I stop taking Diclofenac Sodium?
Alan

AskDocWeb: We've seen nothing that would indicate that the tinnitus might be permanent. The volume should gradually decrease completely over time once the NSAID is discontinued but talk to your doctor first.
