What Medication Can Help Reverse SSRI Induced Tinnitus?

[Master mind]

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?

Did you ever wind up trying it?

You cannot reverse it. You are screwed like I am. The auditory part of your brain was damaged by the serotonin

I didn't see anything in that article that said it was permanent.

Read it carefully.

"But for many people the sound comes forth and it doesn't go away."

Read it carefully.

"But for many people the sound comes forth and it doesn't go away."

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"?
