Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / October 2005Zoloft and Tinnitus
Hello, 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. Thanks - Ron Yup, Zoloft aggravates tinnitus for some people. Ask your doctor and/or pharmacist to prescribe something similar that isn't 'ototoxic.' Good luck, Bart. 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 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 Tinnitus is a known side effect for some people sometimes as per info leaflet that comes with this stuff so that's not an earth shattering news flash >The doctors i have met since i got tinnitus are a bunch of mentally >inferior people Seems you ran into a few that weren't overly super. You can't simply paint everyone with one swell foop and write them off as incompetent as that just isn't so and you know it, period. A lot of folks have trouble enough "keeping the lid on" and read this group with the hopes of trying to find some comfort, how about you give some, maybe a bit of inspriration or something, instead of dumping on the whole medical world. Try some relaxation excersizes, or chicken soup, whatever, maybe it'll take the world's bite off a bit and make life a bit easier on/for yourself. Works wonders for a lot of folks, even for those with tinnitus... It's a beautiful day and the few remaining tomato plants need a few kind words. Life's great ain't it :) Bart. - Check my most up to date email address at: www.haruteq.com/contact.htm awesome banjo bridges, tabs, stained glass: www.haruteq.com **may your moments of need be met by moments of compassion** > >I discovered there was a casuality between hydrochloridethiazide and > >tinnitus but the 'doctors' told me it could not have been true.

I ran into 15 and some of these were quite expensive fancy doctors trained at top world's medical schools. I think by and large they are looking at tinnitus from a direction that will never get them the answer. You can't > simply paint everyone Have I done that? Read again, please. I wrote:"The doctors i have met ...". That phrase "I have met" is used to qualify the word "doctors". with one swell foop and write them off as > incompetent as that just isn't so and you know it, period. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > It's a beautiful day and the few remaining tomato plants need a few > kind words.

Hear, hear. So true. Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ When I complained to my 15 doctors about a possible connection between hydrochloridethiaze and tinnitus, either they disbelieve or show no response. These are the doctors who spent years in medical schools. I have never read in any leaflet that this med can cause tinnitus as a side-effect. Thus I suppose they have not either. Since this side effect is not printed out on a leaflet, they assume it does not exist. If this is not mental inferiority, what is it? > When I complained to my 15 doctors about a possible connection between > hydrochloridethiaze and tinnitus, either they disbelieve or show no [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > effect is not printed out on a leaflet, they assume it does not exist. > If this is not mental inferiority, what is it? Any earlier you posted this: "That you are not smoking or eating right does not mean you are healthy. This is the misconception of the Hollywood movies. You should see a doctor if you are still not feeling right." Every newsgroup needs a moron like Francis. That is why you need me to enlighten you. > If there is a casuality between Zoloft and tinnitus, you should stop > taking it regardless of what your doc or controlled studies have to [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > The doctors i have met since i got tinnitus are a bunch of mentally > inferior people. You are so f.cking stupid. Do you really think anyone cares that you *think* you have the answers to everything? Get a life, Francis. Go f.ck yourself, pig! Do you really think I care what you think of me or how you feel? > Go f.ck yourself, pig! Do you really think I care what you think of me > or how you feel? Well, in fact it would seem you do, or you wouldn't have responded this way. HNG A Zen Thought: Honk if you love peace and quiet. Howard N.

It has to be better to find out what your problems are, and what is causing them, than to be stuck on something that you could find addictive, as well as keeping you limp. Many medicines give tinnitus as a side-effect, but not everyone suffers from them. Maybe the Zoloft is making you more anxious, instead of less? Good luck with the hearing test! Don't forget to let us know how you get on. Ben > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks - Ron > I don't think any anti-depressant is a good thing to take. It is if one has clincal depression. Exercise, diet, counseling can all be of help but medication therapy can be a literal life saver for many people suffering from depression. frank I feel depressed every time when I go back to Vancouver and I am reasonably sure it has something to do with the weather there. This is not related to genetic, clinical depression. I feel depressed every time when I go back to Vancouver and I am reasonably sure it has something to do with the weather there. Some are born with this problem. It has mainly genetic causes and people with it don't really have an equal chance to feel like the rest of the world. In a perfect world nobody would need this medication and there would not be diabetics either that need drugs. I don't think any anti-depressant is a good thing to take.

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. Thanks - Ron |
