> Please tell your doctor it makes your ears ring. My doctors all acted like I was crazy when I mentioned that as a side effect (except the one I have now). I think too many patients don't report all the side effects they have and so doctors aren't aware that those side effects are taking place in so many patients. They need to know so that the next time some one tells them somthing weird is happening, they'll know it's not just you - that it's not that uncommon.

> MarshaMay I ask what, if anything, your Dr. did for the ear ringing? It is absolutely horrible, and driving me up a wall. I can't concentrate like I could before because the ringing is so bad, phone calls are unbearable, other noises around me aggravate me to no end. I was beginning to think I needed to see an audiologist. Please let me know what you have done for it.
Thanks,
