Cause of Tinnitus
Music, viral? ...
I'm on Valtrex for more than 10 years now. I did try to stop a few times but my problem always reapears after a few week so most of those years, I took (and still take) 1000mg every 2 days. It works better than 500mg each day in my case (doctors don't know why, but some agree that it's possible).

Could the Valtrex be the cause of the Ts that I have for almost 4 years now?

Thanks for any info/advice...
 
Unlikely, I've read the Valtrex leaflet and there is no mention of tinnitus as a side effect.
Furthermore Valtrex may be beneficial for a few tinnitus cases that are caused by viral labyrinthitis and are treated early on along with corticosteroids.

However, everyone responds differently to medications and there is always a very slight possibility that Valtrex may have something to do with your T.
