@aab Nope. I didn't notice any changes to my T or loudness H while taking it. It helped my pain H (a.k.a Noxacusis) though.

@aab No, I haven't. Do you use them for herbal tea?

I still get a lot of anxiety due to the new level of my T. The daytime is even more problematic for me, I'd say, as I'm not able to ignore the T.

I take it as a pill, as a suplement. No herbal tea.

Not sure about valeriana. Found:
"Valeriana officinalis L. Is a Novel Kv1.5 Channel Blocker"

What do you think?

@Yosemite - I really feel this. Are you still in the ADs. The firs5 few weeks can be hell before you start feeling better. Can’t believe that most meds make this condition worse. I cannot imagine anything worse then this noise.

@4Grace No. I stopped taking it after 3 days, as the T & H worsened.

@RunningMan I figured that if the T was going to subside, it would already have by now.

The change in serotonin level has probably caused the issues in your gut. The question is why they haven't resolved yet if the medication has already left your body?

Exactly. The stomach discomfort came on immediately with my first dose of Sertraline, never taken on empty stomach. Switching to Lexapro didn't help. I thought it was just a temporary side effect during adjustment to the med, but I had some of my worst pains in weeks 5 through 7 of Lexapro. I thought the discomfort would fade soon after weaning off, but no. Just hoping it improves.

That chirping tone that came on while on the SSRI's did seem to fade within a couple weeks or so after weaning off, although it still occurs from time to time, including just last night overnight when I woke up. I didn't think my primary hissing and ringing sounds were ever affected, but they're variable anyway.

Hi. Just saw your message. My T is still severe 80% of the time. I also deal with pain H, and it's all due to Lexapro. :(
