      Antidepressant
      I’ve looked on Google what meds help to lower Serotonin levels and came up with Cyproheptadine, which is an antihistamine. Has anyone tried it for reversing SSRI tinnitus?

      Also, what other meds can help with this?

      Read it carefully.

      The full quote is:

      “For a lot of people, a sound will arise and then pass away. Or maybe they'll be on a medication and then the sound will stop when they stop taking the medication,” he explained. “But for many people the sound comes forth and it doesn't go away.”​

      Case 1 is a lot of people.
      Case 2 is maybe.
      Case 3 is many people.

      I’m not sure how this translates to actual percentages.
      Is “a lot” more or less than “many”?
