      So... I sometimes have these blood pressure spikes reaching 18/11 when I am stressed or my anxiety goes high.

      I am kinda in a withdrawal from benzos (tapering off slowly) so this kind of stuff might be expected.

      The point is, I don't want to have any risk regarding these high BP episodes and I want to control it with other options besides alprazolam.

      I am considering using losartan occasionally, but I saw it in one of these 'meds that gives tinnitus' lists.

      What are your experiences on it? Is the tinnitus triggered by BP meds at least reversible?

      Cheers!

      11/2002; spike 2009; worse 2017-18
      Cause of Tinnitus:
      Loud music - noise damage
      I might need to start Losartan.

      Worried if it can make the tinnitus permanently worse...

      Anyone with tinnitus taking Losartan?

      I'm holding off starting Losartan as I'm just generally fearful of tinnitus exacerbation. I have no idea, but I was taking Propranolol regularly when my tinnitus started.

      Any experiences out there taking Losartan?

      I have been taking Losartan for some time. I really have no idea if it’s related to my tinnitus.
