They're back

The voices haven't come back yet, but I started hearing music. It was like a classical music with long tones. Then about an hour before that, I was hearing a phone vibrating under my covers, but it wasn't MY phone because I was using it to browse websites and text people. I couldn't locate the vibrating phone. It only vibrated 3 times, though.

I'm afraid the voices will come back. I hadn't been taking my medication until last night (after I FINALLY stopped vomiting), and I was being non-compliant before too. So my AP has been out of my system and was only reintroduced yesterday. Sucks.

At least you're taking them now. The noises in your head will likely go away once the AP is in your system which should not take that long. Big hugs.

I hope the AP helps. Sorry you're experiencing this, sounds frustrating.

Glad you are back on your Meds. Hope you feel better soon. Just for the record I read an article that many people now in the cell phone age experience weird sensations regarding their phones. They think the feel it vibrate and it’s not in their pocket, or they think the hear the incoming texts message ping and there is no message. It’s a pretty common occurrence evidently. Sometimes I hear my phone ping and the sound is coming from like another room and I’m holding my phone so I know it wasn’t my phone.

Have you talked to your pdoc or the pharmacist about how to get to a therapeutic dose again? I'm sorry you have to go through this. Is there a way to make you more compliant (I hate that word)?

I was going to post just this. I also have read about the same thing happening to others. This has definitely happened to me. Also I used to hear music too, but I recognized that it was coming from inside of my head. The music continued to play unrelenting for a good part of the day. It was driving me crazy. I could not get the music to stop.

I have music in my head all the time I don’t know that this is not “ normal”
I don’t really use my iPod because I can pretty much go through a playlist in my head. When it’s one song over and over...that’s when it bugs me. I had that song “I hate myself for loving you” stuck in my head yesterday. I was lucky enough to finally realize that I’m going through an anger phase about my 2 sister’s dying on me without my permission this past year. *sigh*

The music was coming from my dresser and then my pillow. It's not in my head. It's external. And the last time I had music (about 3 weeks ago), it was saying my name. It kept trying to get my attention.

I don't have a pdoc right now, but I have my intake appt tomorrow. I'll have to ask how to get to a therapeutic dose.

The only thing I can do to be more compliant is to probably use a pill box because that's helped me before. (A good part of the problem is me being too lazy to take my meds out of the bottles and count them every night, so when I do it in advance and I have it in front of me, it's a lot easier.) I also have to figure out how to not choke on my lamictal... because that leads to vomiting sometimes.

What you're describing is called an earworm.

Yea I know about ear worms. this was more intense though. Once I figure out that I was pissed off at my sisters it went away.

What about asking your pharmacist to put your medications into a blister pack? It may cost something but it may be a good option for you.

That sounds like s good idea. I hope you get relief soon blue!

...I hear my phone ping etc even when it hasn’t gone off, interesting phenomena.

Since my phone is on vibrate all the time, I do get a "phantom" vibration occasionally. It's like an anticipatory reflex.

Blue, I hope the intake goes well and you get the help you need.

Hi Blue,

I hope your intake appointment goes well!

I also hope you are feeling better soon!

A blister pack+phone alarms have kept me compliant and safe.

Keep us posted, Blue.

I get this too especially when I'm not stable. It's not just a small tune you humming our head. It takes over your thoughts. Over and over the same song or phrase or riff plays inside your head and it just won't stop.

Well, I had a therapy appt and a pdoc appt today.

Therapy went well. We talked about how my symptoms have resurfaced after vomiting and not taking meds for a while. I mentioned the music etc., and she said to try to drown it out with my own music.

New pdoc was really, really nice and is helping me appeal my insurance's decision to not cover Rexulti. (Stupid old pdoc was useless on that end. He basically gave up instead of helping me.) Rexulti is the only thing that makes me feel better and doesn't sedate me!

When I got home from my pdoc appt, though, (which was not too long ago) I saw a lot of water dripping from the middle of the ceiling in my apartment. Seriously, a lot dripped. But when I looked up at the ceiling, I saw no water coming and I couldn't find the source. When I looked at the floor underneath, I saw no water. I don't know what happened to the water, but it's weirding me out.
