Extreme earworms music stuck in head

Posted by divinewisdom28 @divinewisdom28, Apr 8, 2023

Hi,

Over the past several months I've been having extreme earworms (music stuck in my head). It is so bad that it plays over my thoughts in my head.. just wish i could finally have some peace, quiet, and control over my mind..

My psychiatrist told me there is no specific condition for what i am describing, but the closest thing he would use to treat me for this was risperidone.. i didn't like the side effects so i switched to abilify (aripiprazole).
I was wondering if anyone else has had this, or is familiar with this and especially if there are any experts out there or anyone knows if abilify is indeed a medication that could treat this musical obsession symptom of mine.

Dear @divinewisdom28 (2 years ado) and everybody else,

Having a “music stuck” of a song & hearing that inside your mind could be (of others wrote):

1. Earworm
2. OCD
3. Medicine
4. List in other music
5. Taking good meds & smoking pot
6. Music illusions
7. ARUS $60+- a year
8. Earworm since 1983 (deaf since then) & loss of his job

9. For me, @greg56xx, is a big problem but can’t remember my music inside my brain. I lost it from a brain-injury accident 12 years ago. I was & am a musician but lost 50% of my memory & ability.

Thx,
