What Could Be The Reason For Electric Shock Zapping And Ear Noises After Switching From Zoloft To Wellbutrin?

Yes, I have switched from Zoloft to Wellbutrin two weeks ago and I have been having electric shock zapping and ear noises which seem to be getting worse instead of better. Started at 150 now at 300 Wellbutrin is there anything I can do to stop the zapping???

Hi these are antidepressants , where tinnitus, zapping noise in ear is their side effects.
Your dose of welbutrin is also increased, so definitely ringing sound in ear will increase.
Reduce ths dose or switch over to another drug.
