My experience-Tinnitus & Meds

---

I finally was able to get a neurologist appointment on 6/27. This headache has been raging for nearly 2 months, I'm so relieved seeing someone is only 2 weeks away.

At my last PCP visit (roughly 3 weeks ago) I was placed on propranolol 80mg, rosuvastatin 10mg, and icosapent 4g for blood pressure and cholesterol/triglycerides.

For this headache...this damn headache...she gave me 25mg topomax twice daily, sumatriptan up to 200mg daily and a methylprednisolone 4mg pack.

I started all of these meds at the same time. Over the course of a week my pressure and heart rate stabilized, but the headache got worse. I had all the side effects from topomax they listed, and sumatriptan was like taking sugar pills. Zero effect from the steroid round also.

Day 8 I developed tinnitus, waves of it that get loud and screechy, dim down, go back up, constantly like someone is fine tuning a radio. I stopped topomax and sumatriptan, then eventually stopped Aleve and Tylenol as well. I'm just using ice and heat alternately and staying in bed.

Has anyone gotten tinnitus from propranolol? I read that it's a side effect, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable stopping that because my pressure and heart rate are finally stable. But I'm losing my mind with this tinnitus, on top of the neverending headache, it's just insult to injury.
