What Causes Headache, Tinnitus In Ear, Anxiety When Taking Citalopram With Salad?

I have been taking Citalopram for over a year now and generally have no problems appart from the odd side effect. Lately I've been getting strong one-sided headaches, and and tinitus in one ear (i've had tinitus for as long as I can remeber but it seems a lot more prominent. It almost feels like an ear infection, but dull. This in turn effects my levels of anxiety... tingling/lighted head est...The only thing I have changed is that I have recently been trying to lose some weight, and have been eating significantly less calouries. (under 1000) It says to take the meds with food, but is say a salad sufficient enough to help it. Could this be what is effecting these symptoms?

Hello

It is unlikely that your diet is affecting your symptoms, although i think less than 1000 calories is too less for you!! and is not good for your health.
The tinnitus may be related to your anxiety and vice versa!
Please meet your ent doctor he will ask for an audiological test, please get back to me with the reports and i will be in a better position to help you!
