Does anyone know if there's a treatment for Tinitus? Seems to have gotten much worse on Welbutrin and I am having difficulty hearing people at work.
Thank you for any help.

As you probably already know, there is no cure for tinnitus & the problem can be caused by many different things, or even a combination, making it worse, & not just drugs (though that's sadly common with many meds).
There is help to relieve it - effective to different degrees depending on each person. Some are helped greatly, others very little.
I'm including a couple of links to treatments for it. You can read through the suggestions & try what sounds good to you, or further discuss some options with an understanding doctor.
Options from the American Tinnitus Association:

Its an odd thing, but I have suffered from Tinitus for years, however since starting PROZAC for depression eight weeks ago the TT has completely gone!
TT is supposed to be a side effect of PROZAC, but in my case the side effect was to cure it.
