      Tinnitus Since:
      05/2017 (H since 06/2017)
      Cause of Tinnitus:
      long term noise exposure (headphones), maybe some stress.
      I have been taking the antidepressant Cipralex (escitalopram) for about 10 years.

      Some days ago I noticed that among the listed side effects are: tinnitus

      I asked my doctor about this and she thinks it's unlikely that the medicine is causing my tinnitus because I have been taking it for so long without this side effect.

      Your thoughts?? I'm thinking of taking Zoloft instead as I have heard it should be effective on tinnitus.

      I agree with your doctor. Very, very unlikely.
