Re: Effexor XR Side Effects Ringing in the Ears

I have dealt with ringing in the ears for years and it is no fun. One thing I have learned, with myself anyway, is that what makes it worse is change. Any kind of medication change will make it worse. But then after a couple months when things have settled into place, the ringing subsides. It is during the transition period that it is particularly bad.

Since you've been on another med for a couple years and are now getting on a different one, there will be considerable changes going on in there for a while and the ringing should settle down later. My best guess would be that it won't go away, but that it will subside in a time frame of about 6 weeks to 12 weeks.

With me, any medication change always results in louder ringing. It takes a while for things to settle down. Any dosage change does it too.

If you do not have a history of tinnitus and your ears were quiet to start with, then that might be an early sign that effexor is not good for you in that sense. If it helps with your other symptoms, it might be a price you'll have to deal with.
