Anaesthetics / Sertraline :(

[LondonGirlN16]

Hi all.. Thought I'd come join you as my T is getting worse.
Woke up after sedation & local aneasthetic for mini facelift & otoplasty in 2011 with a quiet T in my left ear. All my surgeons/doctors said it wasn't connected but it was a bit of a coincidence.... Stupidly had 2 surgeries since (1 being corrective), and am also on low dose of sertraline ( & yes, am aware of the glaring connections of mild depression & cosmetic surgery!) and my One-eared T is now v loud
I feel it's self inflicted and could kick myself.. but you never really think it will happen to you.
I can't bring myself to come off the sertraline & start the weeping again...
So...Any advice on a non ototoxic replacement for sertraline?
Thanks xx

Prozac. It has a similar mechanism of action to sertraline and it has a huge half life, meaning it is way easier to come off gradually.
I don't really know about the ototoxicity though, it is debated that every single SSRI is ototoxic.

Consult a neurologist about this. Be aware and careful with SSRI medication!
