Ear popping / beat/ after starting sertraline

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have had an irregular beat in my left ear since I started sertraline again.

I am 33 old and I am now using Sertraline after a break of about 4 months and I am using the starting dose 25mg , Ear popping and tinnitus has started with me since I started using it two weeks ago, will it disappear when the dose is increased?

Note: I've used sertraline several times before and I don't remember if this tinnitus was present, or if it was so mild that I don't remember it.

    hi sorry to hear your having trouble I've been on 50mg sertraline for 1 week today and my tinnitus is so bad yesterday it was like crackling almost felt like it was in my head awful sensation. I'm hoping too that it fades as medication settles.

    wishing you well.

    hi I started to take sertraline 50mg 8 weeks ago, from week 8 , I feel much better and most side effect have completely gone apart from one.... this constant buzzing in my head and ears. I had this from the start (never had it in my life), at beginning, it's not loud, but recently weeks become louder and louder. Without sleep pills I can't fall asleep. I don't really want to change as it seems like Sert works for me. I am so scared to change the medication, I hope for you the ear ring has gone!
