seeder Posted December 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Wow this story must be a real bummer to experience.. "Cath Gamester's has had to endure frustrating 'auditory hallucinations' ever since her condition was triggered by a reaction to medication she took in 2010. The 84-year-old is constantly tormented by a handful of songs which play over and over in her head, including Happy Birthday, God Save The Queen, Abide With Me, and You’ll Never Walk Alone" http://uk.news.yahoo...-161400673.html At least it wasnt the birdy song....

seeder Posted December 19, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Way back in my mis-spent 'raver' youth, and being curious about 'drugs', I tried some... as you do... After that and a few other herbal remedies, and when the partying was over, I went home....and listened to my fave dance tape at medium high volume....(cd's were about then, but I still had mainly records and tapes) I was coming down from a high without a doubt. When the tape finished, I pulled myself off the sofa to play another, then realised I hadnt even turned the hifi on... I was stunned. I heard every track, every beat, very clearly and in perfect order too, at volume! It freaked me out big time... so yeh drugs can seriously play with your mind The lesson then, children, is just say NO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paracelse Posted December 19, 2012 #9 Share Posted December 19, 2012 It happens to me once, for one night, the culprit was a bottle of Stoly... and thank goodness the song "Jingo bell" vanished with the vapors.... drove my future ex-wife crazy that night :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat1969 Posted December 20, 2012 #10 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I've been going through the same thing since I started taking citalopram about two years ago. Usually I'll hear soft rock or classic rock songs in my head non-stop until I'm asleep. They don't really bother me because I just ignore it, but it can be creepy sometimes. Oh yeah, and I'm a metalhead and I almost never hear that style unless I'm plugged in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One dream was repetitive, over 3-4 days..it actually woke me for me laughing at it....hilarous and so creative... wish I could re dream it.... if I could remeber enough to re create it - i'd be the new comedy genius..

+OverSword Posted December 20, 2012 #17 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) I heard about this syndrome on NPR a couple of years ago and the doctor that was describing it said that 80% of the people that have this auditory hallucination hear the song 'yes we have no bannans' over and over and over and over.....can you imagine?

Esoteric Toad Posted December 23, 2012 #23 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Many years ago I worked in a mall at a software store that was directly across from a toy store. The toy store would put all the squeaking, clanging, beeping and chirping toys in the front of their store to attract the little kids. Between that and the piped in Christmas music that would start by mid November followed by they hired over enthusiastic carolers they would hire (who seemed to be stuck on the same song, The Twelve Days of Christmas, I was ready to go postal by the real Christmas song. The worst two for me, Santa Baby an Felis Navida (I am almost certain I misspelled that, sorry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
