Extreme earworms music stuck in head

Hi,

I am aware this thread is old but I still want help. I am suffering from earworms in such a way that the music is interfering with my ability to form basic thoughts on a regular basis. For instance, I cannot have conversations the same way I used to because audio is distracting the paths of thought.

Over this discussion, I read risperadone and abilify as the only medications mentioned. Could someone please provide a list of medications that may potentially help with the issue?

Thank you,
JJ

JJ, I'd like to find the solution to this problem, too. I don't know if it's OCD related or not, but it's certainly very distracting, and worse. My degree was in music, and I will have earworms that I can't chase away. Sometimes I try moving to a different tune - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't - or if I'm having a 2 measure endless loop, instead of fighting it I think of a song that fits it. Knitting would be more relaxing without the "voices" in my head, voices being musical.

As not-fun as it is, by this time of my life I've just had to accept that it's probably not going away. It sounds as though it's more of a problem for you, one that's affecting your daily life, and I'm hoping that others will contribute to the dilemma.

Oh, for sweet silence!

Jim
