In reply to Intrusive Music and OCD , posted by Lemon on June 5, 2001, at 11:59:21
My experience is one of an "echoing" effect. Whatever I have most recently been listening to is what my "head is playing". I love music and listen to it all of the time. I get snippets of the same music stuck in my head sometimes for a couple of days. I have had triggers like chairs squeaking, i.e. The SSRI type drugs that treat OCD, while they lessen my social anxiety-they WORSEN the "music in my head thing". Prozac was the worst. I have been on here before about TLE. However, I do have some OCD traits. Don't meet the criteria for OCD-but OCD personality. I am taking Neurontin and Klonopin with a "smidge" of SSRI (most recently Celexa). With all serotonin AD's I have had (depending on which one)auditory, gustatory, and visual hallucinations. Even on amitriptyline I would hear *faint* classical-type music playing in the background all the time. Is it possible to have TLE AND OCD/social anxiety? I feel calmer on SSRI, but the "music thing" can get pretty intense. Someone asked me one time on here about a head injury, and come to think of it I do remember when I was about 8 or 9 when a truck caught the tail end of my bicycle and threw me onto the concrete-I woke up with my family standing over me talking in our house.
