> I've heard tinnitus can be linked to TMJ.

Thanks to everyone who replied!

The TMJ suggestion is interesting. I do have an obvious click on the right side of my jaw when eating. That started maybe 4 months ago - it was really annoying at first but I've learned to ignore it. My mother also has TMJ. So I guess that is a possibility.

Even still I'm worried that time is of the essence as it seems to be getting worse. I went to my GP yesterday and had an ear irrigation which released a lot of wax. That didn't help though - this morning it's as loud as it's been and even seems to be a bit deafening.

So as risky as it is I think I'm going to stop Marplan immediately (I'm only taking 25mg - the starting dose is 20mg) and cut my lamictal down. I know it's going to be a rough ride but if this is med related and hearing in my left ear is at stake I'm not going to risk it. Perhaps I'll get in w/ my pDoc this week and switch to Emsam. I've taken that before w/ ok results....

There is a TMJ/TMD dentist in my area so I'll try to get in w/ him ASAP. If he can determine that TMJ/TMD is most likely the cause then I'll go back to my med combo.....

Just really scared so I'll take the withdrawl risk....
