@Midoki1986, thanks for the update, and I’m really glad you found a strategy that works for you! There’s some great advice in your update. I’d appreciate it if you would pop in maybe once or twice a year to update us on your status. The intent of this thread is to inform and to provide hope...

I had my second dose of Pfizer on April 26. No increase in tinnitus. Just sore arm, fatigue and dry mouth.

I got my first dose of COVID-19 vaccine a couple of weeks ago... it was Pfizer. I have experienced no change in my tinnitus. I know people get concerned about drugs/treatments after getting tinnitus and thought I’d share my experience. Your mileage may vary.

Hi @Midoki1986 I'm sorry to hear about the onset of your tinnitus. I'd say there's a pretty good chance that Wellbutrin ignited your tinnitus. Your history sounds a good bit like mine, rock shows, allergies, occasional brief episodes of tinnitus, that went away. I can't speak to whether it...

@JohnDoe2020 I was on 150mg for a month and then 300mg for a couple of days. My doc told me that I could get off of it cold-turkey and I'd be okay. I'd recommend that you talk to your doc before making any decision like that, but that was my experience.

Thanks for sharing your story in this thread. I've wanted this thread to be a resource for people who are new to tinnitus from Wellbutrin, and I think your description of your first year or two really captures what I went through. Probably great advice for anyone discovering this thread from...

Hi @KiminHouston. I'm sorry to hear about the increase in your tinnitus associated with upping your dosage to 300mg of Wellbutrin. Hang in there. It took me 9 months or so to see improvement in my tinnitus. So, be patient and take of yourself. My tinnitus is still here, but has been...

@lefthook Thanks for posting your success story! I'm really glad to hear that your tinnitus went away after quitting Wellbutrin. For everyone who reads this thread, please have hope. Please understand that I'm just documenting my experience, and yours may vary. Even if your tinnitus...

@Urbs My tinnitus started the day after I switched from 150mg to 300mg. There are several others on this forum who had the same experience with an increase in dosage. I would be very, very careful.

@cls That's great that you've had that type of improvement. I think at 6.5 months you're still pretty early in, so there's a good chance you'll see more improvement. I think mine came more gradually than yours. I notice that when I sleep on my back with my neck supported, my tinnitus is...

Hi @cls I'm not really moving on, just not updating this thread unless someone has a question. I'm in my mid 40s, so when I was a kid, we had cathode ray tube televisions ... the big clunky ones with the convex screens (computer monitors as well). When you turned them on, or powered them...

During the first year or so I had spikes that lasted a about 1 or 2 weeks at a time, but they mostly centered around having a cold or some other type of respiratory illness. Right now, my tinnitus feels a little louder than it's been in a while, but it's nowhere near as loud as it was at the...

I did research on Wellbutrin prior to taking it as well, and tinnitus never came up as a big side effect. I think you did everything you could do. There's nothing wrong with taking medicine for depression. It's pretty common. I have three friends who are taking or have taken Wellbutrin in...
