Question: I have had tinnitus for over 10 years, but it was a very low sound and never brother me. Just recently I was put on Zoloft and the tinnitus sound has increased to where it is really disruptive. I'm scheduled for a hearing test in two weeks, but I thought I would ask the group if anyone is aware of Zoloft causing problems with tinnitus.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer: If there is a casuality between Zoloft and tinnitus, you should stop taking it regardless of what your doc or controlled studies have to say.

I discovered there was a casuality between hydrochloridethiazide and tinnitus but the 'doctors' told me it could not have been true. I stopped taking it and my tinnitus was a lot more released.

The doctors i have met since i got tinnitus are a bunch of mentally inferior people.

I recently went to my psychiatrist about my use of Zoloft to control depression. I asked her if there was a history of Zoloft causing Tinnitus to some patients. She indicated, without question, that it can happen. She has put me on a different drug for my depression.

Something to think about for the people who are using Zoloft and have Tinnitus.
