SSRI Induced earworm/stuck song syndrome/involontary musical imagery - experiences
Hi all,
been dealing with OCD intrusive thoughts since puberty. Was off SSRIs for a while, now back on (prozac this time) and now developed a stuck song syndrome. I basically have loops of song fragments (or words/phrases) playing in my head on repeat from the moment I wake up. I am quite sure it comes from going on the SSRI again.
I heard it can be common in people with OCD - even not medically induced. I find it quite annoying as I have no control over what`s going on in my mind. Has anyone else here experiences with this? How are you dealing with it? Did it subside again after going off the SSRI?
Thanks a lot!
