      Sorry. This is probably a question for a qualified doctor. Personally I'd stay away from antidepressants if at all possible. That said, I recognise sometimes you cannot. You'd better talk to a doctor who would be more knowledgeable HOPEfully! :(;)

      I wouldn't take any of that shit, it's all totally toxic to your body, not just your brain/ears.

      If you are cool with brain damage go for it.

      Effexor made my tinnitus a bit louder.

      Mirtazapine didn't affect my tinnitus, and reduced my anxiety a bit.

      Try 5-HTP. It roughly does what most antidepressants do without messing up your brain.
      Very good supplement.

      I take Escitalopram. I haven't had any problems as a result of this drug and I have been taking it for over a month.
