That damn music has always played in my head as well... listen only at your own peril.

I could easily have a psychotic break hearing that over and over again. Lol.

I also suffer from this form of torture, and it's almost always songs I dont like. I will often wake ups the worst music that I could possibly think of, and it won't go away no matter what I do. It frequently lasts between days and weeks, often the same song, sometimes other terrible songs. I get a whole range of things, from pop music which I generally can't stand 2 commercial jingles which drive me totally insane. I wish I knew what to do about this. I had heard it was a side effect of lamictal, the hearing you guys talk about it seems there's more to it.
