The ears. In fact, doctors have actually tried treating tinnitus with such medications.We didn’t give up, though. We did a little more searching and found this side effect buried in the official prescribing information. It was listed as “infrequent.”So, the drug company lists tinnitus as an uncommon side effect of citalopram. And the medical literature is not very helpful in determining how rare this complication is. You are not the only person to suffer. Here is another report:I developed screaming high-pitched tinnitus after I had been taking escitalopram (Lexapro) for 10 days. I was given samples by a nurse practitioner (NP) without any drug information or leaflet that the pharmacy usually provides.I was not taking any other meds at the time. Asked my NP if Lexapro was causing the tinnitus & her reply was “No, she had no other patients that had complained of this side effect.” She told me to keep taking the drug.I did and the tinnitus increased in volume & eventually was in both ears. I had to become my own advocate and found out from a pharmacist that Lexapro can cause severe, persistent ringing in the ears. I stopped taking Lexapro 19 months ago and I have been suffering with this condition ever since. I tried acupuncture & herbal therapy but it did not help.Thank you for your post; your situation is exactly like mine. I was given citalopram by my doctor, and then I experienced the exact same results. I feel my tinnitus was caused
