I started Mirtazapine again just over a week ago after my anxiety worsened. I was told it won't cause tinittus increase. I was on it only for 6 days and my tinittus increased and it def not related to my anxiety. I tapered off 3x7.5mg and after advice from Dr stopped it.
When I came off it last time, my tinnitus returned to base level.
This time however after 3 days of stopping this drug my tinituus has got very very loud now and stayed there. It is definitely mirtazaprne which is causing this dramatic increase. It is a withdrawal symptom. If this does not go down then thanks to mirtazapene as well as trying to manage my anxiety I may be faced with a life of continuous very loud white noise in my head which I will find very difficult to cope with.
I have suffered tinittus for the majority of my life and was able to cope with the base level which I hardly pay any attention to. I cannot distract from it now it's impossible which means it always going to be there forever in whatever I do and to be honest I not sure how I am going to cope.
From similar posts in this forum I get the impression this is not a temporary symptom that will simply go away.
