Hi I have been taking Clarithromycin 500mg bid, for 13 days now one more day to go then I see my MD, I have been having severe ringing and noise in my head and ears all this time while at rest or quiet times, I just can t stand the noise and sometimes it feels like an electrical jolt for about a second , I took myself off (Cold Turkey) Citalopram 25mg because I felt I didn t need it and I was having severe hot flashes about 1 month a go, the hot flashes went away the next day after stopping the medication , can you tell me about why I have the ringing and the noise in my head will it go away?? I am 64 years old if that helps, sorry I didn t know I had to pay, so I guess you won t answer my question
