Amitriptyline Drastically Worsened My Tinnitus & Visual Snow Syndrome

[Tkenupp]

I just woke up. Tinnitus is definitely lower today. I slept better than yesterday. Let's see how it goes.

Sorry to bring this thread back, but I was prescribed Amitriptyline (25 mg) for migraines 1.5 months ago. Long story short, the last 3 months I've been on and off the E.R., specialists and so on trying to figure out other problems (chronic back/neck pain, fevers, paresthesia etc).

Two days ago I decided to start Amitriptyline as prescribed, seemed that the tinnitus got lower, however, today I got a massive spike for a few seconds on my left ear (high pitch), that was scary. What to do? @DoesItStop, did you get back to your baseline?

No, my tinnitus increase from Amitriptyline is constant and it has never gone down. And it was drastic. It's been over a year now. I have since moved my family across the world and have not been working since the drastic increase. I live in a warm climate now where I can be outside all the time. It has completely changed my life, and the lives of my wife and four kids.

@DoesItStop, how are you now?
