> Hi, Mitch,

> Thanks for your help. I am glad to hear that I am not the only person with this problem. It seems that whenever I tell someone about it, they look at me like I am crazy. I had one physician (the ear specialist) ask me if I heard voices, which has never been a problem for me. I am afraid to tell anyone about it because of the responses I have been getting. There is certainly a sense of loneliness about this symptom. Two years ago, I had a depressive episode and tried all kinds of medications (Prozac, Zoloft, Wellbutrin,Serzone, etc.) but they either didn't work or I suffered from side effects so No I am not on any SSRI's or any medications. Have you ever tried Luvox? They say that that medication is for OCD--but again, I don't think it's OCD. It would be nice to know how many people suffer from this condition so some research could be done on it. I have heard from somewhere that it could be a result of a seizure--but I have no history of seizures, but I suppose that doesn't mean that you couldn't have a seizure and not know about it. Since you're on Depakote and Neurontin, does that mean you have a bipolar disorder or a seizure disorder? Thanks for the idea of an EEG--right now I am sick of doctors and tests, but if the music doesn't go away soon, I may be desperate enough to try again. Again, thanks for responding.

This symptom may be similar to what you are talking about, or it may be completely
different, but I have had it all of my life. I don't know a better way to describe it other
than "doing music". I don't hear it, and I think that generally I'm sub-vocalizing it. Its
outward expression in humming, which I have also done all of my life.
"Doing " the music is something like suppressed humming, and possibly only goes
away when I am focused on something. As one would expect, it is decreased by
effective antidepressants, generally SSRIs.
