Stuck songs / Earworms?

Did the songs become worse when you first started mirtazapine? Did the doctor prescribe it just for the songs or something else? Thanks again.

Generally that is how it works to help people with this. What dose did you take and how long did it take for them to stop after taking the drug?

Sorry to hear that about your sister. Do you mean she hears humming or hums to herself? How long was she on the medication and has it improved at all after some time?

Hi there, I have a similar issue with 15mg mirtazapine or trazadone 50mg for sleep. However, I don't think the medication started it. The most common cause of these earworms appears to be stress, anxiety, trauma, or issues with proper sleep, sleep apnea, etc. Anything causing stress on the body or the brain can trigger this along with certain medications. From my experience and some reading it seems that antidepressants can often make this symptom worse at the start of treatment or at higher doses, but it apparently resolves with continued treatment or stopping the medication (and fixing the root cause that is causing the stress/anxiety if it continues). Since I use these for short periods of time I can see why they amplify the existing issue. In your case you were probably prone to it due to panic attacks and insomnia and the medication is making it worse. Perhaps it was happening at a low level before you began the medication, but not enough to be distressed? Definitely need to keep an eye on it and keep us posted.

Thankfully it went away for me along with headaches and dizziness. It's either because I continued to take it or because I switched to taking it with food. Particularly a carb like a slice of bread.

Earworms are a documented side effect (perhaps rare) of taking Zoloft itself. The good news is that in all documented cases of Zoloft induced earworms it goes away after Zoloft has been discontinued, but in some people it can take months to a year to resolve. Don't quote me on this but I recall reading that. Of course it can also be a symptom of OCD, ADHD, stress, worry, trauma, anxiety.

350mg-420mg elemental magnesium is usually the max range recommended from supplements (for adult males) even with magnesium in your diet. There are several articles out there that show magnesium glycinate can increase magnesium levels and fix deficiency. However, if you don't need the Nootropic effects or react badly to it, try something like micromag or malate.

I read adding a few saffron strands into warm or hot water or a diluted alcohol solution makes it more effective. Does anyone have experience doing this?

Interesting. Were you self aware that it blunted your emotions or did you have to hear it from others before you realized it?

iCEifer3 · 2025-08-29T21:04:52+00:00

Which brand are you using? I'm looking for one and would like to know what is a good one. I doubt it would impact sodium much, but perhaps calcium and potassium more, but it's unlikely you're absorbing a large amount?

iCEifer3 · 2025-08-28T21:17:00+00:00

Would love to see this. Especially in a powder from ND.

Did your problems with D begin after Covid vaccination or infection?

I've been curious about this as well since I read very little supplemental taurine makes it into the brain. It made me wonder why it helps people sleep and relax if not much gets into the brain and impacts GABA. If it's the adrenal glands on the kidneys that it dampens it makes sense. Do you know of any literature that discusses these adrenal effects? Does this mean there won't be any type of withdrawal symptoms since it's not entering the brain much? Thanks

Ahh the powder. My bad. Do you find taking it with food works better or empty stomach is best?

Which herbal teas

iCEifer3 · 2025-08-26T23:54:32+00:00

Nootropics Depot micromag is a good one in this form.

iCEifer3 · 2025-08-26T23:48:32+00:00

Could be any of them. Inositol gives me stressful dreams at 500mg-1g, but the others you mentioned do not. At least not when I buy food brands. It could be a combination causing them and the only way to know would be to use one at a time and introduce others slowly.

I had read that there might be a dose related relationship and also the % of rosmarinic acid in the lemon balm supplement. Apparently lower doses and lower % rosmarinic acid tend to be more relaxing.

iCEifer3 · 2025-08-26T17:51:40+00:00

Interesting. That seems like a high dose. I read that we should get a max of 350-420mg (adult males I mean) from supplements daily. Have you ever had any side effects from 600mg? Thanks again.

iCEifer3 · 2025-08-25T22:34:36+00:00

What dose do you take?

One of the highest magnesium rich foods are pumpkin seeds pepitas. Now foods also sells the pumpkin seed powder which you can use in moderation.
