Music constantly in my head

I nearly constantly hear music playing in my head. I know most people get songs “stuck in their head” but its nearly constant for me and kind of annoying. It sounds like…independent of my inner thoughts, like I can be thinking and still hear the music in the background of my head. Has anyone had anything like that at any point?

I have. I just stop listening to music and it goes away.

mildly for short periods, it is very quiet and comes with a headache on the top of my head. Do you have a headache?

No, it just seems to almost always be happening. From the time i wake up to the time I go to sleep. I try to drown it out with actual music or by talking but I can still hear it

omg that sounds horrible. I’ve never heard anyone else with that. I don’t know what to do. Are you taking your meds?

I never heard voices etc. But once I was on a low dose of seroquel which drove me bananas and one of the things that happened is I started to hear music. It was a seroquel issue as when I was unmedicated I never heard voices or music.

Mhm, the meds made any external sounding stuff (which was rather mild and mostly stuff like hearing my name, doors opening, people talking in the distance, etc) go away but the music and internal sounding voices stuck around

I know there are people on this forum who that has happened to also. I think meds are the solution

This is a regular occurence for me, particularly when I quit antidepressants cold turkey.

wait! how long has this music been playing?

I’m not sure how far back it goes but I’ve noticed its gotten more frequent and louder over the past couple months. It was there for a while before that but its gotten more annoying progressively.

Closest I’ve come to that was dreaming music that I was making up. It was awesome. I wish I had a dream recorder to play it back, I was just jamming away.

What kind of music do you hear?

oh wow! yeah You might need some meds for that. I don’t think I could tune that out or try to control it in any way. I hope you get some peace soon

edit: I would be pissed off that I couldn’t listen to my Twenty-one Pilots all day long. Unless it was them playing, then I guess it would be great.

I’m curious because I only had to have a relatively low dose of Abilify to stop external sounding stuff but I’m at 10 mg and it doesn’t put much of a dent in the internal sounding stuff, despite blocking external sounding stuff and helping my paranoid thoughts quite a lot

yeah honey just get an appointment with your pdoc and let him know because you don’t have to put up with that if it’s bothering you

I have this. I’m on 15mg Abilify and it helped but hasn’t totally eliminated the music. However, now I don’t pay as much attention to it and it doesn’t feel so much like the music is controlling my thoughts (for lack of a better way to describe it).

i have a friggin orchestra going almost 24/7. like welcome to tyngerra radio :frowning:

it’s worsened with noises, such as talking, the A/C, a lawnmower. i’ll take music over voices/screams any day though.

The most that I’ve had is that I’ve heard songs on the radio that sounded like they were talking about me. They weren’t good songs. One said “you got psychopathy baaabbbyy” over and over again.

oh dammint I thought this was what the normies were talking about when they get a song stuck in their heads… that’s kind of a dumb mistake on my part… ive always had music in my ears… I never thought it was strange… I don’t get whole songs much any more but a good minute-2min then it changes… I have like built in radio… if I get to doing something it fades some… meds haven’t changed it nor do I want them to.,…
