hearing repeat sounds/songs in my head

[lagn]

I keep hearing repeat songs in my head...I do not hear voices only songs.  I suffer from extreme anxiety and depression am on Lorazepam and several homeopathic remedies.  I was put on several anti depressants for a period of one year with severe side effects.  I am now hyper sensitive to medications.

I have the same problem, seems like a lot of people do since there are so many comments on this forum.  I have had it as long as I can remember.  I am 37, no history of drug abuse, I am not a musician but have been singing in choir since I was young.  I do suffer from severe anxiety, bipolar disorder, and for the last 7 months it has been major depressive disorder with thoughts of suicide.  I am currently on a mix of zoloft and wellbutrin with xanax as needed.  Things are getting better with my depression but I still have music in my head constantly.  It starts as soon as I wake up and doesn't end until I fall asleep.  I went through a painful breakup of a long term relationship 7 months ago and not too long after I began to hate listening to music.  I completely did a 360 and I will only listen to political radio...and I was NEVER into politics before.  As a matter of fact, if they are not talking about politics I am not interested in listening.  But it doesn't matter, the music never goes away.  When I am at work I will start humming or singing under my breath and my coworkers have commented on it when I don't even realize I am doing it.  I have also started whistling tunes under my breath and it is so annoying.  I have not seen Mary Poppins since I was a kid, yet I have had the song Chim Chim Cheree in my head for weeks now...it is driving me mad!  :/

Read it over and over, you are not allowed to stop.  Hours pass and while you do other things you must also read that - over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

Or, how about a musical phrase.  Lets put 1 line of a song on a loop and play it over and over for you for hours.  

Once you begin to feel your brain breaking under the strain of repetition, you will more clearly understand what some of us are going thru.

Your opinion that your surprised by how much concern this has just shows your lack of understanding.

Hi, I've songs in my head for 15 years........
I'm from Hong Kong, ... is there anyone from Hong Kong?
I'm just found this web site 1 month ago and I'm so glad that I'm not the only one.....
but this problem has severely affect my life.
I can't have my own mind when talking to people or watching television.
The songs just play repeatedly & random in my mind, even if I just sitting here. I feel comfort only when I listen to music or songs so that I can have my mind be still and stop thinking of music.
I'm so depressed, collapsed that no one understand me, including my family & friends.
I started went to mental doctors and psychologist many years ago but the situation remain the same. I took 40mg seroxat every night before sleep now but useless. But the situation become even worst if I stop took seroxat. I thought is is because I've too seroxat for many years and my body have already 'live' with' it.
But I'm just wonder would seroxat really help me?
The doctor just give me seroxat in every medical appointment.
My life, my relationship has been destroyed by this problem....
I hope we can all be healed and recover by this year, as I know it is painful to have problem for even just 1 day!
