How long will it take for the ear pulsating to go completely away. Could it become permanent or dies the Wellbutrin have to get completely out of your system. I have not lost any heading.

Brief Answer:
It can not be confirmed how long will the tinnitus persist.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,
It is very difficult to confirm how long will this side effect persist .
For some patients this side effect is temporary.
For others this side effects prove to be permanent.
It depends especially on the dose and period of time that you have used the medication.
If the symptom persists, I recommend to consult your doctor for further evaluation and an alternative treatment.
Hope it helps dear,
