> I hear music 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It is off key and lousy. It started after I was given Desipramine. I have tried anticonvulsants, clonazapam, I'm on Lithium. I have not had one moments peace since this started 21/2 years ago. Has anyone done anything to get just a moments relief? My song will change with any suggestion. For instance: If I see a sign that says "Mack Rd. Exit" then "Mack the Knife" will play. If you say,"South Pacific" I will hear "Some Enchanted Evening".
Lou, I hear music, but not as often fortunately, as part of OCD. Effexor-XR has helped with this. Also, I don't hear it when I listen to music (at least, I just hear what I'm supposed to be hearing!) so I've tried to spend more time listening to music (I didn't have a car radio or home radio or tv, so got a personal stereo like a Walkman and some cassettes). Have you asked your doctor about possible causes (OCD? seizures? ???). When it happens to me, I will hear the same song for three, four, or even six hours, and when I try to stop it, it stops, then I'll start hearing it again and kind of "hum" it in my head without realizing it. Good luck to you!--Cindy W
