Hi.

I'm on 20mg of citalopram. I've got bad tinnitus. Has anybody else experienced this as a side effect?

Thanks

      I've already been and to ENT just say it's tinnitus may or may not be caused by citalopram.

    Hi Guys, I have had tinnitus since I frist suffered a panic attack March this year since then being in a state of hypersensitivity I have it everyday all day ? I play in a band and thought maybe it wasnt related but I think its a rare anxiety symptom and Citalopram heightens it as well....... Just try and stay positive and relaxed I kinda dont hear it unless I think about it as I naturally got used to zoning out of it. Hang in there wink
