hearing repeat sounds/songs in my head
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.
Hy, I suffer from the same problem. Did you find any medicine to stop the music? It is driving me crazy!

Confia en Dios fue lo que me ayudo a mi. y si considera la medicina creo dos usuarios han comentado la eficacia de la carbamazepina podria discutirlo con su medico
I am so happy to know that I am not alone. I have been experiencing repetitive song only when I wake in the night. It is not a song I have
heard during the day. It is usually a song or jingle I am vaguely familiar with. At first I thought the content of the song was my mind trying to communicate subliminally but NOT. I have experienced this the past two years and thought it perhaps was related to going through menopause early? I do have hypothyroidism, do not drink alcohol and have never done drugs. Omegas have been a part of my diet so I have no clue
what measures to take to rid myself of this sleep disruption. Thanks
to everyone for sharing you experiences.

I came across this quite by accident and was slightly surprised by the level of concern that is generating.
I'm someone who has extensively trained my mind and while I haven't looked into this issue I occasionally experience this effect but it isn't really something to worry about/
There are two basic scenarios:
1) You are approaching a dream type state and your mind is dropping itself into a sleep cycle.
2) Your mind has been filtering out the song while doing another task.
To start with 2) your mind when processing information such as listening to a conversation in crowded room has to do a large level of filtering in to distinguish the words being said. Voices have distinctive characteristics and yet the mind has to identify the common words.
This can often result in the mind playing back a song that it has heard during the day this is not the same as an hullicination but a task of memory (which also links into a form of imagination.)
A hullicination would be thinking that you are hearing music coming from the room and not being able to find the source or hearing a noise and interpret it as someone calling your name.
When you are listening to music you'll often be doing another task and if your concentration on this task increases you will no longer pay attention to the music. Similarly if you don't listen to a song you like for a year then hear it again it sounds much fresher.
You must be familiar with talking to someone and having your mind wander and then have to replay the conversation in your mind and then work out what was says. This is an essential task which is a sign of a healthy mind. While the described effect is not as a conscious act of recall it is normally just a sign of the brain getting bored or leaving a filter in place similar to when you come out of a night club. If it is not happening all the time it is nothing to worry about.
When you are depressed you simply pay more attention to things that you notice less when you are happy. While PTSD can transfer the music or sound will lead to a strong emotional response as you relive an instance which your mind is trying to fix but can't.
1) if you are tired enough your mind blends a dream and waking state it is simply part of the transition to sleep and dreams and your mind and imagination are given free reign. If you don't like the effect you can try tricks such as altering the tune a form of composing. Similarly creative imagination exercises can be used to improve your ability to dream,
While this may not be something everyone experiences it should not be viewed as a bad thing but like the ability to replay a game of chess in your mind with variations it is a sign of a stronger mind.
Some similar effects such as thinking your name is called or the doorbell has rung may be more of an issue although extreme tiredness can explain a lot too.

i also had suffered from music perseverations for 2 years. after treatment with 1x 300mg carbamazepine for a week, and follow up 2x 300mg carbamazepine the music was nearly gone.
i guess therefore, it might worth to try carbamazepine. ask your physician about "music perseveration".
in fact, no one knows how this medication works in detail. it block sodium channels, and this thought disorder might have its origin in a distinct region of the brain.
that is all i can tell you, hope this would welp.

may be this could help you. the disease might be related to epilepsy:
"auditory perseveration", is a rare condition in which sounds repeat even after they are inaudible. It is related to another rare neurological condition - -palinopsia, in which visual images repeat or cause trails.
treatment: anticonvulsants, carbamazepine, Quetiapine.

please let me know how things turn out? My ma is suffering from music playing in her head also. I'm going to have her try the Magnesium vits. for now, I have been checking out some things on-line, but coming to dead ends.
There's got to be some explanation for this??
Maybe there's some Old Wifes tale cures..
