    If Fluoxetine Resolves My Tinnitus, Is Tensor Tympani the Cause?

    I have a feeling that my problems have something to do with these two meds. I have suffered with depression before, but never anxiety/ panic disorder until after I had withdrawn from the mirtazapine. 6 months after quitting I started having panic attacks and, and at that time, I could feel an...

    If Fluoxetine Resolves My Tinnitus, Is Tensor Tympani the Cause?

    I'm mostly trying to work out what mechanism/ pathway that the fluoxetine is working on? So I can perhaps find a more natural alternative? And also wondering whether that by taking the meds I could potentially be masking something that requires further investigation. It's all so confusing...

    If Fluoxetine Resolves My Tinnitus, Is Tensor Tympani the Cause?

    Hi, For the last 4 months I have been suffering from a low hum/ morse code/ fluctuating tinnitus that seems to react to sound, combined with vertigo/ balance problems. My GP has mostly dismissed as anxiety or 'a minor problem with labyrinth'. I had a private hearing test, which reported a...

    Hearing Test Results. Help?

    Hi, I'm new here and reasonably new to tinnitus. I initially developed a buzzing in my left ear, which was annoying but tolerable. 4 weeks ago it moved to my right ear and it's an entirely different noise - a low hum, which is a cross between a fridge or a plane flying overhead and extended...
