Thank you karilann and Catch...I have decreased my Cymbalta down to nothing and I, too, can now hear my left eye move. But prior to stopping my SSRI, I have been hearing a rapid drumbeat in my left ear...call me a "head-case", but has this occurred to anyone with "noisy eyes" as well?

I've had the ear thumping too. Started out like "thumping" or "fluttering ear drum" as the way I described it. Then it moved to thump thump thump with a muffled hearing for a couple seconds then sometimes a stabbing pain. When my Mom died...I actually had this and also at the same time it felt like an electric bolt went through my head and seemed as though I lost vision for just a split second. Actually knocked me off me feet a bit.

:eek Sorry to hear that and sorry to hear about your mom. I had lost my dad to a cerebral hemorrhage (sp) so not too happy with unexplainable head malfunctions! When I first heard this "thumping" I was laying on the couch, resting from a 16 hour day at work and thought one of my cats was on the back of the couch scratching and his foot was hitting the back of the couch (that's what the sound sounded like). Well it wasn't. It was me. Do you also experience occipital headaches? Another blessing in my menopausal (or should I say--mentalpausal) years.

sorry I had to remove the link *edit* forget the title tho sorry I do not have enough post to add a link this is my first post The Important Bits from Above: *edit* PM member for info. *edit* After I originally read this story, I couldn’t stop thinking about how this proves that our reality is nothing but electrical inputs, and how we trust our brains to interpret them correctly. It is our brain that will decide what is essential and what is not. But, what if our brain does not interpret them in the way that represents what is really “out there”. What does that do to our sense of “reality”. So, is the world around you really like what you think it is, or is your brain wrong? I guess we will never know. But what can be learned from the above incredible story, is what you think you perceive may not be “really” reality After reading it I thought finally some information to vindicate what people withdrawing from antidepressants actually experience. I did not get any help when I talked to my doctor about this issue. I have read many post from people withdrawing from serotonin enhancing drugs that speak of this. One other thing I think may be related is an extreme sensitivity to noise of any kind .... can't any noise for example in the summer on the hottest days having to drive with the car windows up so I do not have to hear the sound of tires from the other cars ya no air conditioning either Both these issues seem to be related to serotonin yet these are the first 2 references I have seen from a scientific person that says it makes some sense. It has since passed for me but it is still good to know. Thanks for your post. I am now going to have to look up these two brain areas. I wonder what else I can learn. I still have memory problems and other symptoms that come and go. Before I quit taking effexor I was being investigated for ms turns out I did not have it but did have something in the white matter of my brain. Last edited by Jomar; 08-22-2010 at 11:56 PM.

I experience this phenomenon right now. I have visited an ENT who did a physical exam of my ears, nose and throat and then I had an audiology test. So far she has not indicated a diagnosis. I am waiting about a week to see if this phenomenon goes away. If not, she suggested a CT scan of the sinus area of my head. The sound I experience occurs if I keep my head steady, and look quickly left or right. It also occurs if I look upward. But not if I look down. The sound I experience seems to be in my ears, a swishing sound, or a low frequency rubbing sound. I imagine it to be the sound of two rubber bands drawn across each other at right angles, like a bow across a violin string. But the sound in not high frequency, like a high pitched tone or the ringing described by tinnitus. I have experienced tinnitus very infrequently. And I cannot voluntarily generate that sound. This sound seems only associated with voluntary movement of the eyes. I do have a slight sensation of pressure in the ears, but no nausea or vertigo. I would like to know if there is a diagnosis for this. I have not ever had this sensation before.

You have given a very good description of what I experienced. For me, it seemed to be from my anti depressant. I was not taking it regularly and this was the side effect. Once in a blue moon I still get it but not as bad as I was. The anti depressant seems to be the best scenario so far. Because I have M.S., docs did not explore it further and it seemed to get better. Having M.S. seems to be the blame for everything! However; doing my own research and talking to docs: antidepressants can do this if you go into a withdrawl type situation. Please keep me posted if you find something more. You can private message me on this site. Good luck to you

I have experienced hearing my eyes move multiple times in the past, right now its driving me nuts! I know its my antidepressant, but I wish there was a way to speed up the process of getting rid of this.
I've been on Ciprolex for a while, I've came on and off of it in the past, mainly because I couldn't afford it. I had benefits for a while, then lost them, etc... I just finished my perscription about a week ago, and without fail, the swooshing noise returns. As bad as it sounds, i'm glad i'm not the only one who experiences this... lol my family thinks i'm nuts, and my doctor looks at me like I have 6 heads when I tell him about this. cheers all! |
