> > > > > Babbledom people: I was given an AD by a psychiatrist even though I told him that I had a previous adverse reaction to an AD years ago. He told me that the one that he was giving me was different and that it was like taking asperin. Six days later I was hearing a song in my head. Now I hear wretched music 24/7 and it will never stop. It is awfull.He decieved me into taking the drug for it was in the same class as the one that I was alllergic to.

I have to limit my SSRi dosage to the bare minimum-because if I increase it I get music playing in my head, too. Also, when I become hypomanic I hear music in there a lot more. Some people think it is OCD (intrusive music). If you take an OCD med (such as SSRI's) and it gets *worse* I would consider bipolar or epilepsy. It might be a good thing to see a neurologist and get an EEG.

If there is no one in Babbledom that can help me, then there is no one in the world that can help me. For the mysterys of babbledom are known only to those that are babbling.(have babbled?)

> I did see a nurologist. He gave me neurontin and others to no avail. Hewas the one that gave me clonazepam. The I saw an ear Dr. She tried to sell me hearing aids for $2200.00. I tried them to no avial. I am asking all babbledom people to use their knowlege to find a treatment to stop the music. For it is given to you to know the mysterys of Babbledom. The doctors all know nothing for I have been to them all.

> LouMaybe you are on the wrong class of psychiatry meds? Maybe instead of an antidepressant you need a mood stabiliser or even an atypical anti-psychotic? Just a thought. Hearing music on antidepressants is not considered to be a "normal" side effect. Never happened to me before and Ive taken almost all the antidepressants.
