    Wellbutrin-Induced Tinnitus Success Story — Dramatic Improvement

    I appreciate the positivity in your post, but I have to disagree with your assumption that it cannot be permanent. I have had no improvements since September 2019 and went through the whole ENT, MRI, MRA, massage therapist, chiropractic, NUCCA treatment with no improvements (I also had something...

    Tinnitus from Wellbutrin: 23-Month Update

    Hi Everyone, TL;DR: Skip preface Note: I want to preface everything here and disclose that I do have clinically-diagnosed anxiety disorders and a depression disorder. I've been a pessimist my entire life, but I want any readers to be aware that this could be playing into the tone of my...

    One Sided Hyperacusis and Tinnitus: Am I Alone?

    Yes, I have it only on one side (right), and it is affected by posture and posture alone. I see a chiropractor and RMT regularly, and recently went through a month of wearing a posture brace for 10-12 hours a day. I just started wearing a night guard and thinking of looking into cervical collars...

    Tinnitus Caused by Wellbutrin — WHY Does Medication Cause Tinnitus?

    Hi Shaqz, Sorry for the insanely late response. I must've not gotten notified of your original reply. Yes, it does fluctuate, almost spasmic in nature. I have very bizarre symptoms. It's completely pattern-less (e.g. I can't predict when each event happens), but has a few notable...

    Tinnitus from Wellbutrin

    Thanks for the answer! I appreciate it. I've found something strange lately. I have a "core" tinnitus, which has no pattern and changes pitches every few seconds before doing this weird wavering pattern and settling into another pitch for no more than a minute at a time. But I also have this...

    Tinnitus Caused by Wellbutrin — WHY Does Medication Cause Tinnitus?

    Thanks for your post! I just read your story. I wanted to know what your tinnitus sounded like, namely, how you perceived it. Was it a constant pitch? Did it fluctuate at all?

    Tinnitus from Wellbutrin

    @dnl I have a question regarding your tinnitus perception. Could you describe how it sounds like a little more? Is it a constant frequency? Does it ever change pitch? Can you "feel" it if it does change pitch? Thanks for your updates over the last two years! I don't want to keep you from...

    ETD/Labyrinthitis/Wellbutrin Success Story

    I was three days in and I complained to the doc, and she said to keep taking it for a month. I went 4 weeks on 150mg and now I'm 4.5 months in with significant improvements, but I would say it has slowed down considerably since the 90 day mark. ATA's list is not that great because they have a...

    Tinnitus Caused by Wellbutrin — WHY Does Medication Cause Tinnitus?

    I've had tinnitus for 4.5 months from Wellbutrin, but have no idea WHY, and frankly, why does it seem like no one is asking this question? My question pertains more for medications not involved in chemotherapy, which I think may have a more obvious answer: cellular damage. But for an NDRI? Or...

    How Do You Find Forgiveness When Your Tinnitus Was Caused by Another Person/Source?

    Oh, okay, I see. Yeah, I definitely can relate in that case. It's that turmoil between, "look what you've done to me" and "they won't care, because they're detached from us". Understood...

    How Do You Find Forgiveness When Your Tinnitus Was Caused by Another Person/Source?

    I feel the same way. I don't think it would change anything, but I figured I'd put it on my list anyways. That's a good way to describe them haha. That could definitely be an issue. I know in my case, I can fill out the form without going through the doctor, but if I had it go through them, I...

    How Do You Find Forgiveness When Your Tinnitus Was Caused by Another Person/Source?

    I feel you. I'm going through something similar right now. I wake up almost every morning for a deep hatred of my (now former) psychiatrist. I really wish I could help and say something that would cure it for you, but unfortunately, we don't have much (although I AM new here, so there are many...

    Tinnitus from Wellbutrin

    Thanks for the response, I really appreciate it. I also really appreciate your taking the time to write all of these updates. I think I've definitely had some down moments where I had some hope based on what you've written. I will continue monitoring your updates until you finish after 24 months...

    Hello from Another Wellbutrin/Bupropion Victim

    I know, exactly! I do wish that doctors had some sort of legal/medical requirement to either cover side effects, or if they don't know, to provide the information and allow the patient to review it. My last doctor was the only one who did this and it was almost startling since I'm so used to...

    Tinnitus from Wellbutrin

    @dnl I've read through almost all of your posts and the situation somewhat reminds me of mine. I wanted to know if you've submitted an FDA MedWatch form? Not like I really trust that we will see some sort of major activity (like a boxed warning), but I'm just thinking that if we have enough info...
