    @Thizzle some... in terms of sounds sensitivity and mental well being. T is still there, still varies, and still drives me crazy sometimes. I wish it were gone or less, but that doesn't seem to be going happen.

    @4Grace I dont much see the point in posting much anymore. Mostly when I have a really bad day. T still sucks, I have had some improvements here or there. It tends to go back and forth.

    @SumGuy its the nature of T. It can fluctuate for alot of reasons. Stress and sleep can be big factors. Sodium, caffeine, msg... Yours could be related to fluid in your ears so allergies could affect it. Trust me we all understand the feeling all to well. Hang in there.

    Sadly I have to agree with your sentiment. My doctor denies to this day what happened after I took Lexapro, stating it's "impossible."

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    I was on Lexapro for 10+ years. I stopped about 2 years ago. When I started taking it again, I immediately got tinnitus. I would express caution in starting any antidepressant. I would certainly discuss your concerns with your doctor.

    @gameover I am going to back off a little and see. Technically I don't know if its better or worse. It seems one is lower and the other more prevalent or maybe its drowning it out.
