Thanks, Mitch. I'll reply as soon as I can. Right now, I'm really spaced out and crashing on Provigil. SSRIs worsen my music and all the other OCD symptoms, too - right off the bat (Provigil, also). I liked Blue Cheer, too, but I made up this nick after the first hallucinogen I used. I never had this intrusive music until Valium d/c. I'll describe the way I experience it when I have the energy. It's just like Dr. Pupko describes for me. For example, when my daughter put a Beatles poster on her wall, I looked at it and "Penny Lane" was in my head the rest of the day. I agree with you about the various causes and types. I don't like being bipolar and telling doctors about this, because some want to attribute it to mania or the illness (even though I was hospitalized for OCD and the symptoms began right before that time - following Valium d/c after 20 years. The only time mine really fade is when I'm hypo/manic. When I crash hard into a depression, they're at their worst.

(I also just happen to have Blue Cheer's "Good Times Are Hard to Find" compilation on CD) I think the authors should also have talked about intrusive music as symptoms of possible epileptiform activity. The SSRI meds used to treat OCD always *worsen* the intrusive music I experience. Psychostimulants *and* anticonvulsants seem to *suppress* it. I ran out of a Depakote script recently and whew! it definitely got worse. My alarm was beeping and I turned it off and continued to hear it for nearly an hour! The most pleasing intrusive music situation I can remember was a class in college where we all had these squeaky wood chairs. The professor had the largest squeaky chair and he would drag it on the tile floor at the beginning of class. The minute the wood would begin to scoot it would hit the *exact* key the woodwind at the beginning of "Strawberry Fields Forever" hits. I would sit there listening along not paying any attention or taking any notes until it finished. Ok, now you have got me listening to the bass lines in "Parchment Farm"! :)
