First few years it was the same but I am now able to listen to music. Relations with voices in music and thinking music will make me high all stopped. Now music in my ears is like harmless.

I couldn’t enjoy music for the first few years and now I can’t get enough of it. It may come back for you.

That must suck!

Music is the one thing I keep coming back to and it never fails me, unlike all my other hobbies.

Hope that you can get back into it someday :crossed_fingers:

Are you pushing yourself to listen every day?

I love music so much I run an online station out of my basement as a hobby.

I stopped listening to pop music

It could be noise sensitvity which is when you become agitated by sound. It is a symptom of fibromyalgia too coincidentally. I don’t know if you have that at all?

Or you could try different types of music. Perhaps subconsciously your tastes have changed. Try some classical, what were you listening to before? Not death metal was it? :smiley:

How Long did it took for you to enjoy music again

have you talked to your doctor about it? i know some doctors might shrug it off but lack of enjoyment from music food etc is common with sz. perhaps they can recommend a new medication that would help with that. I think is has to do with dopamine.

I like to listen to things without vocals. It helps me relax. But only certain kinds of music. This one I included I listen to daily on repeat. It is supposedly anti depression and anxiety. Even if that is not true but you believe it to be true, it works very well.

Music will eventually get the authorities called upon you, I speak from personal experience.

What do you mean i didn’t understand you

Oh, hold on my leg is bleeding.

I’ll be back later, urrbody!

It took me 6 years, 3 years I was isolated after sz started. Then started to listen to music and felt heavy voices in the song then stopped again for 3 year and was at work. Now I do listen to music. Since past two days I have listen to none !

It would vary with people how well the meds respond!
