In reply to Questions on Seroquel ?????, posted by ricker on October 31, 2008, at 13:42:07
Either zyprexa or seroquel would be top choices, though prediction is impossible. I doubt either one will have any effect on lowering tinnitus. Actually either one would probably increase it, due to the alpha-antagonism which causes a release of more norepinephrine. Similar to remeron.
Remeron made my tinnitus worse. But even worse than that was zoloft. In literature that looks at tinnitus, zoloft often makes tinnitus worse. You happen to be on two meds that were the worst for me in terms of making tinnitus a lot louder.
The most tinnitus-friendly meds I've tried were prozac, xanax, klonopin.
You might consider a xanax or klonopin before an antipsychotic. It is a lot cheaper, easier, and safer. Forget the addiction thing. You'll know you are highly dependent on something when you try to get off seroquel. It took me more pain and more time to get off zyprexa than xanax.
