Tinnitus after stopping HRT
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello ladies,
Anyone ever experience increased tinnitus or changes in the sounds heard once stopping HRT? I am 59 years old and took synthetic and bio-identical estrogen and progesterone for the past 5 years. Weaned off slowly and stopped completely 10 weeks ago. Now at night the tinnitus is much worse, and it actually has included some brief, intense "jolts" of intensity that last just a few seconds. Almost feels like what is described as "brain jolts" or "brain shivers" that patients have when coming off anti-depressants. Not painful, but an intense burst of the ringing... totally freaky. Will have those jolts only at night while winding down to go to sleep, or when falling asleep. They occur for a few nights, then none for several nights, then they return! What is this? I started immunosuppresant medications for leukemia 6 months ago, which include taking Bactrim (the antibotic) which I know can make tinnitus worse. Not sure what is causing what?!! Any input is greatly appreciated!
