Hello everyone,
I started taking Lexapro four weeks ago to treat anxiety, which was causing me frequent stomach issues. It worked like a charm and took those symptoms away.
However, three weeks into taking Lexapro, I developed severe tinnitus and hyperacusis. I am currently going through unbearable suffering, as the tinnitus and surrounding noises feel like ice picks or electric shocks stabbing into my brain every second of every day. I stopped taking Lexapro on September 21st after tapering off for a week, shortly after the severe tinnitus began.
I am hoping that the severity of my tinnitus will decrease to a more bearable level with time, hopefully within the next month, as right now, every day feels like a fight for survival. It is truly unbearable.
If you have any positive stories of tinnitus recovery after stopping Lexapro, please share them. I really need some support.
