Songs and thoughts stuck in head 24/7?

I have had anxiety and recently my psychiatrist said ocd all my life. I have been on and off mainly anti depressants. Zoloft, prozax, lexapro are the main three I tried and I hated them all. I have been prescribed luvox but am afraid to take it because of the horror stories you hear associated with violence. I am at a point when I have songs stuck in my head non stop, or just segments of ones looping. When I lay down to go to sleep I recap whatever I was doing beforehand and play the scene out in my head almost like continuing on conversations with my friends that never actually happen. Just imagining bizarre situations. I have been doing better since my last "meltdown" and have been good with no meds, just a klonopin if I am having a really bad day. Does anyone think I would actually benefit from a med because right now I feel like I am losing my mind and becoming retarded if that makes any sense, I feel like I am turning into a zombie with racing thoughts.

Hey. I have songs, snippets of songs, sentences people I know have said, as well as things they haven't said on constant repeat all day. I, too play scenes over and over and I also alter them in my mind. I don't feel like I have any control over these things and it leads to a difficulty concentrating. I haven't talked to anyone professionally about this; after my psychiatrist and I get through how depressed and anxious I am there's no more time to address the non-stop thoughts. I'm starting therapy soon (finally got on medicaid) and intend to make this a priority for discussion.
The thing is, when I make an accounting of these things I feel really empty and fake for some reason. I can't figure out what I am and even though I know there's something wrong I worry I won't be taken seriously. Anyway this probably doesn't help you very much but when I was searching for the things I experienced your post came up and I really identified with it.

I started Luvox in 2011 and it's been a lifesaver. I was having obsessive thoughts about death that were making it really hard to function in life - I couldn't do history for my art class because all I could think about was that the artists I was learning about were dead, I couldn't watch old movies, I couldn't sleep because I would panic about dying in my sleep, etc. A few days after starting the Luvox the thoughts had calmed down enough that I could go back to doing my classwork and watching movies. In the past couple of years there have been times when I couldn't afford it, and after being off of it for about a week the obsessive thoughts and a general feeling of being out of control come back strong.

I don't think anything can go wrong with giving it a shot. The only side-effect I had was becoming a lot more sensitive to caffeine; this is something your doc may not tell you (mine didn't know about it) but there are scientific studies that have been done saying that Luvox causes caffeine to stay in your system six times longer than normal, so I got a lot of heartburn and nausea until I cut back on my coffee intake.

You can PM me if you have any questions about Luvox. I never had any improvement on antidepressants but this is one medication I am so glad I tried, it really did change my life.
