JohnSmith117 0 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) So I stared accutane last week. 20mg a day. I stopped after 4 days as my joints were aching already and my ears were ringing for a couple mins. 2 days after I stopped my ears began ringing constantly, it's that and/or a buzzing sound 24/7. I had amoxicillin recently for an infection but was told there was no interaction concerns. A few questions. What at is causing the ringing? I took only 80mg total. Might it subside? Anyone with similar experiences? Edited January 13, 2016 by JohnSmith117 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnSmith117 0 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I hope mine isn't either but the timing is too coincidental. Has anyone had their ringing subside? I'm super afraid I did some permanent damage after 4 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macleod 311 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yes, I have had tinnitus for the past 8 years after a month of accutane. That symptom combined with my slightly enlarged right pupil (papildema) suggests secondary intracranial pressure by retinoid. I've been on these forums for about 7 years, and have met i'd say about 100 people around the world who have complained of tinnitus after accutane...Hope that answers your question...

Awe im so sorry to hear this. How do you cope? And does that mean this tinnitus isn't from damage to the ear hairs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
