Hi, @shermananski - wanted to let you know I moved your post on ear noise/static to this thread on side effects when tapering off on venlafaxine (Effexor) so you can talk with many more members who have experienced side effects in this process. I'd like to tag @sandij @brightwings @anne2019 @jakedduck1 in particular, among others, to comment on whether they or others they know may have had ear noises like you describe in the venlafaxine taper process.

Have you found anything that relieves this side effect, shermanski?

The pulsating Tinnitus I keep under control via blood pressure. The depression Tinnitus is just interesting. It doesn’t hurt and it’s not otherwise distressing. It’s just there when I’m depressed. I read somewhere that depression/anxiety “Tinnitus” may actual be coming from the hypothalamus. Brain disturbances. Inflammation. I really don’t know obviously. But interesting. When it started up recently as I tapered I was concerned. Oh no my brain is disturbed. Again. Such a sensitive blob of mush. Meanwhile coming off of Effexor ER At 37.5 mg clips has been a joy. I feel better. I can’t wait until it’s out of my life! I can’t stop eating sugar! I’m getting very round.
