My #1 invasive thoughts involve music lyrics and numbers. I have trouble reading because music lyrics will invade my thoughts.
I've been on Vyvanse now for almost a week and there is no doubt whatsoever this stimulant drug has calmed my jumbled thoughts. I feel calmer, more focused and I've dealt with the diluge of crazy thoughts for so long that it now feels like something is missing - but I'm so much happier.
There are two activities I can engage in that seem to triumph over the constant jumbled thoughts - sewing and gardening.

I am so glad I saw your post. I am having a horrible time with the music lyrics in my thoughts. It has gotten to the point I have trouble falling to sleep at night. Then first thing in the morning it is back. It is hard for me to pray even. The thought of any song will just consume my every thought. I have noticed it is much worse on days I have to work. I have no idea why that is.
I made an appointment to talk to my Dr about this. I have been having issues for about 2 years with it, but the last 3 to 4 months it has taken control of so many things. I had no idea anyone else has had to deal with this. I was diagnosed with depression many years ago, but this thought problem...I have no idea what it is or how to stop it. Your post makes me realize there may be help for me.
