I was on cymbalta for about two weeks and then went off of it for 5 days (doctors recommendation) because of another side effect but am now back on Cymbalta because I found out that I needed Cymbalta or some med. for depression because I got pretty down. I am Cymbalta at 20 mg. for three days now. The problem is my ears seem to be ringing occasionally and noises are bothering me. Has anyone heard of this or experienced this?? Will this go away with time or get worse?
thank you for any advice!!!

I have experienced these symptoms without medication but not as much when I feel better. I'd say just monitor it and it will probably just go away. Feel better!

Diva,
thanks, It may be when I am more anxious, I will have to wait and see I guess.

I had similar experience, as well as mild auditory hallucinations. I'd hear a kind of short, static noise that usually came in groups of three. It was odd, because I knew it wasn't a 'real' sound. Instead it seemed to originate from within my head. I am no longer taking cymbalta.
