How Can Tendinitis Along With Tinnitus And Depression Be Treated?
A friend suggested my mother who has tendenitis and some depression may be helped by taking paxil. She also has tintinitus. She lives in Albania. Is this something that might be helpful to her. She does not have tendenitis I misunderstood when speaking with her.

Hello,
We need a complete medical evaluation before we start any medications. Tinnitus could be due to various reasons
-Medication side effects
-High blood pressure
-Ear problems
So is her depression, and it needs evaluation and root cause elimination with appropriate counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy before or along with supervised or monitored medical treatment to avoid serious consequences and adverse effects of antidepressants. Paxil is a good antidepressant but has it’s own side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
