Hi All, Been a while since i have been here, but in need of some help please.

I have suffered from severe depression for some years now, i have had councilling, i am currently on 150mg of Sertraline along with Wafrin after aortic valve replacement.

For the past few months i have suffered from what can only be discribed as a hissing / buzzing inside my head, trying to get some piece and quite is impossible. The past few days it has had a undiscrible which effect my life, anything and everthing is a problem i can have issues with anything, simple tasks, watching the TV just annoys me, trying to cope with every day issues is becomeing a nightmare, for the past two days i have done nothing but sleep, not that i want to but i just keep dropping off, which in one way good as i don't here the hissing in my head. Today is a little bit better as the hissing is not quite so much and do feel a little better, but past experience tells me it will be back. I have wondered if it could be my Sertraline tablets and of course this would me another visit to my GP.

I just wonder if anyone has suffed from the same or simliar ?. Did you find a cure or a release?.

I would be greteful for any imput or guidence.

Thank you for taking the time to read the above.

Regards...

    Hi Anthony,

    It sounds to me like it could be Tinnitus, but I have never suffered from it so I don't know.  I would suggest that you see your doctor as soon as possible.

    It sounds to be an awful thing to live with.  I hope you will soon get some relief from it.

    Good luck,

    Pat

      Hi Patricia. Many thanks for your quick reply. I have uffered from Tinnitus in the past as did my mother, but its not that, at the moment it is barible, but i just don't look forward to it coming back, it seems to as the depression gets worse. As you say a trip to the docs seems the right thing to do.

      Tinnitus, when i and my late mother suffered with it, we took a  Homepathical tablet called archente nit (spelling), which work very very well.

    Hi I take 150 mg sertraline a day and have never had any buzzing noise etc.  I have been on them for  5 years.   Is it one of the listed side effects?   If you haven't already google it to have a look and see what it advises you to do.  

    You could also have a word with your local pharmacist as they should know.   x

      Hi, The only other time i can remember getting simliar systems was when i tired to wean my self down on the amount of Sertraline.

      I am now going to check on side effects.

      Hi I did google it after I replied to you but couldn't find anything about it.  If it has happened to you before then it must be the sertraline and I would advise you to go back to your doctors and see if you can get them changed.  x

    Thank you for the comments, i will be making an appointment with my local surgery this coming week, I am beginning to wonder if it is the sertraline as the sertraline prescribed is now with a different manufacturer, and has been suggest that i might well be taking the cheaper version.
