Hi Allen, are you still taking effexor. Its highly seratonergic. I saw a neurologist about the ringing I developed from an ssri, and he suggested it could have been caused by spikes in the seratonin levels. This was also the explanation given by the manufacturer. I have been on benzodiazepams (excuse the spelling) for weeks, and today started on nortriptyline. I did find that listening to a cd of a sound that matched the tone of the ringing helped me. There are cds sold through the American Tinnitus Society that can give you some relief in that dept. I hope you feel better soon. Please keep me posted. Mary
