Xanax (Alprazolam) causes tinnitus side effects in approximately 6.6% of the
people taking it according to Tinnitus FAQ v2.7. On the flip side, a double
blind study showed that 76% of the subjects taking Xanax had tinnitus
reductions. You could be falling into the 6.6% group. Can you go off you
med (with doc's guidance of course) or try another med for anxiety and then
go back on to test yourself? This should not be a problem since you are on
a low dose. Sometimes this is the only way to find out. I used this
method with my doc to see if Xanax would help reduce my T and found it does.
If you change meds, make sure you or your doc checks the new med against
those known to cause tinnitus side effects (refer Tinnitus FAQs).
Good Luck,
