Zoloft - Ringing Ears?

Posted , 9 users are following.

My PCP prescribed me ZOLOFT at 100mg along with Trazodone at 100mg for anxiety.

I figured out later on that I did not have anxiety and that all I had was a breathing problem of which I have already corrected.

I took it once (100mg) later on I found out that it was a high dose and the doctor did not tell me. 

Then I had to take the trazodone for about 7 days (100-50mg) then I switched over to ambien (5mg) and now I am able to sleep without any sleeping aids other than a natural melatonin pill every now and then.

So now I guess I am experiencing a withdrawal? I am experiencing all the symptoms of a withdrawal and the one the bugs me the most is the high pitched sound that feels like a million crickets are in my head.. (tinnitus?)

It stops when I drive, when I am in class, walking and exercising.. but right when I sit now for a moment or lay in bed, it comes back.

It has already been 4 weeks since the day I took the zoloft.

Anybody else experienced this "swoosh-click" sound? And does it go away?

    I took sertraline, which is zoloft. 50mg. Only 3 days in, and I woke with tinnitus. It is a constant ringing in my ears. Have it 4 days. Has anyone had it and it stopped? I can't go another 30 years like this. I am crying here. I thought things couldn't get worse than depression and anxiety, but this is worse. It is torture.
