Phantom Music Remedies
Since April when I took the pain killer pregabalin for a couple of weeks after it was prescribed for my back pain, I have been hearing an orchestra play in my head 24/7. it really disturbs me and interferes with sleep. I was told it is a known side effect of the drug but that most people find it fades. If it doesn't there seems to be no known remedy. I would love to hear if anyone knows of any way of silencing it....

I would try the treatment for tinnitus, using a electric toothbrush to the mastoid process behind both ears. I'd start doing it for 1 min each ear a once an hour, then once every 3 hrs just to see if this helps.
