Intrusive noises?

[biffjeff]

Does anybody else get this? I experience music looping in my head 24/7, but often I will conjure up a very loud, distorted noise in my head. This could be a quick blast of somebody shouting, or it could simply be a short, amplified loop from a song I already know. I then tend to freak out and get it stuck in my head and it's extremely overwhelming and almost as if I can FEEL it in my head, even though it's not a hallucination.
I'm on my 5th week of Zoloft 50mg. It kept it at bay for the first two weeks but it now seems to be making a return and it's positively horrid.
Am I alone? Is this an OCD symptom? I'm diagnosed GAD with likely OCD but nothing else as of yet.

Hi, has this gotten better for you I’m going crazy right now .

I have the same symptoms and usually it's songs I hear on TV or on the radio. I stopped listening to the radio because of it. I used to just pick a song I liked because I knew it would be on loop all day

I'm not hearing voices.

hearing voices is not a common symptom of ocd , it is a common sign for delusional disorders or schizophrenia

Hey, I was diagnosed with OCD among other things about 16 months ago, I experience the intrusive noises that you have described and I can also get words phrases diagrams, basically anything stuck on constant loop for extended periods of time. During my psych evaluation and therapy sessions I was told that this is typical of obsessive compulsive disorder, but it is probably not limited to OCD.
Hope I could help.
