Not sure if you have the time or interest, but you can read more about my past musical hallucinations in my following blog posts. Mine became highly distressing over time. In the end, it still wasn't 100% known what was causing them, but it seemed as if reaching a therapeutic dose of carbamazepine ER (Tegretol XR) solved the problem.

My main story about my musical hallucinations is at:

A Story of Musical Hallucinations (When music mostly died for me) – Bird Flight

And a reference in this post:

Trauma from years of severe bipolar disorder episodes – Bird Flight

Also:

If of interest:

And:

Thank you, I certainly will read them!

Read the posts. Intriguing information! It's apparent to most of us who have BD that it's connected to (or is) some type of seizure disorder. Surely neurologists and psychiatrists know that, because they prescribe anti-seizure meds for BD.

What I wonder is if any further studies are being done on the connections you've listed (BD, seizure episodes, migraines, etc., etc.)? If so, I never hear anything about it. And MD's seem stuck in the same old treatments, for the most part.

So thanks for the post links, Soupe.

btw, until age 40 I danced ballet...until I gained so much weight from Seroquel.
