Hello, Update: I have tried everything and I am not sure if there has been any improvements or any worsening. My tinnitus would range between 5 to 7.5 out of 10. This all started when I started taking my ADHD medication, methylphenidate, also known as Ritalin. Over the past six months, I have...

Last year I developed tinnitus after taking Methylphenidate (Ritalin) for two weeks. I met with Prof. Dr. Dirk De Ridder last month, I told him I am on Concerta 18 mg and my tinnitus is 6 to 7 out of 10. I have been on 1 mg Intuniv (Guanfacine) for a week. I still can not see any benefits but it...

Ah, thank you.

Hello, My tinnitus is gone for a few minutes when I listen to 4000 Hz on the AudioNotch website. I am not talking about the paid thing. I'm talking about the frequency player that just plays that eeee sounds. I feel like if I have it at 3900 Hz and let it automatically go up to 4,500 Hz, my...

My ears do not hurt at all, just an eeeeeeee sound. Elvanse amplified my tinnitus, so I stopped after 2 days. How are you getting on? What did your doctor recommend?

Any updates?

I still have tinnitus. I can't have anything with caffeine... I was put on Atomoxetine, although it helps with a lot of other ADHD issues, it is useless for me when it comes to motivation, procrastination and task management. My doctor now put me back on low-dose Elvanse for a couple of days...

Posting update here in case someone else comes across the same issue. It's been a month and I still have tinnitus. What is odd, is that up to a few days ago, I almost completely ignored it and felt that it's not there. However, this weekend it feels that it's more promenent. I spoke to my...

Update: Just saw the audiologist. Hearing is perfect, no underlying issues so most likely it's the Ritalin. Will speak to my doctor regarding ADHD meds. I will ask for Dextroamphetamine first to see if that works, if not then titrate Ritalin back very very slowly. Tinnitus is still there, I've...

My blood pressure was still not super high. Max was 140/93 with pulse of 95. Mainly I was hovering around 130/85. Are you still on Ritalin? My doctor said that we can re-introduce it very very very slowly once we get to the bottom of the tinnitus. This is low for me as I am 95 kg, but will...

An update from me. I spoke to my doctor yesterday, he told me that, if I do not notice improvements by Thursday, to contact my GP. He did say that it's a very rare side effect of Ritalin. What he did say is that, if the tinnitus goes away, to restart Ritalin but on super low dose (2 x 5mg) for...

Thank you very much. It's still ongoing, but I have been reading a lot about it and it could be because Ritalin made me clench my jaw? I do feel today that my jaw is sore (I did stop Ritalin two days ago). I found this study, not sure if it's related. But will speak to my doctor on Monday to...

Hi all, I am middle aged, recently diagnosed with ADHD. I never had tinnitus before. After I had taken Ritalin for two weeks, I started to get tinnitus and finally I could not take it anymore and stopped taking Ritalin yesterday. I do not smoke, drink or even have caffeine. As I type this, the...
