It seems to be a fairly common side effect which I hope will get better very soon. In the meantime, try to mask the buzzing, especially when you are on your own and it seems louder. Have music or TV on in the background to distract you. It's difficult, but try to stay calm in case the anxiety is making it worse. Be aware of the sound but try not to focus on it - devote your attention to anything else that replaces the unhelpful thoughts with more positive ones.
We are all different so you need to do what is right for you and dealing with side effects in the interests of reaching the beneficial stage of the medication is always a personal choice. Like you, I increased from 50mg to 100mg after a month. It's still probably worth holding on as the benefits may be just round the corner.
Very best wishes,

I'm still researching this one as indeed I am other aspects of my (so far) brief exposure to sertraline. I had taken 5 days at 50mg when as well as all the other usual crap we have to put up with I got the ear ringing to boot. As a newbie to anxiety issues with no prior experience to call on this totally freaked me out to the extent that I stopped the tablets until I could see the doc. I'm not as hardy as most of the people on here it seems. Day 1 on the tablets (on the way up) and day 7 (two days after stopping on the way down) were great totally normal days so I reckoned I was overdosing. Now i'm not so sure. I've been off the tablets for about a week now and the ringing remains although the volume goes up and down and occasionally it's almost inaudible. It's very difficult to know what's down to the sertraline and what's down to the underlying ailment but having been off it for a week I'm guessing it's the latter in my case and a feature of my anxiety issue. However, I've learned to cope with it a little better over the last few days so at least it doesn't freak me out anymore although I hope it goes away soon. You will be okay as long as you don't let it freak you out.

That fits in with the way I see it happening with me. I'm hoping to clear things up here without going back on sertraline. It looks like coming off it is as much of a rollercoaster as going on it in the first place.
