I, too, developed pulsatile tinnitus. I had no friggin idea what that even was until I started hearing my heart beat in my ears! This is just too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence. Tell me, did you ever experience any phantom smells? Bad smells like cigarette smoke when no one around is smoking? It’s like these pills are hallucinogens or something!

Hi again, I found a website called survivingantidepressants.org and it has a wealth of information regarding tapering, etc. One of the folks mentioned phantom smells, so it must be one of the frequently mentioned withdrawal side effects. Sheesh.
