So I stared accutanelast 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?

This guy had a similar story, he said it is unrelated to accutane.
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?
