Sorry Raijive! Your answer does not mention ANY detail about "tinnitus". When you state "The side effects differ in a individual, .. please check with your doc/pharmacist ..', the unfortunate truth is my doc and my pharmacist have no clue. Unfortunate that this website does compile statistics. That would indeed be a helpful contribution.
