I wrote that I thought I was hearing very faint music constantly during the first day of my withdrawal - scary. Turns out our bedroom fan was transmitting very low grade radio frequency (I have excellent hearing) and it finally stopped when we turned it off. Yay finally a night without tunes!

I have heard music from fans my whole life, and never knew it could be real. Ha ha ha. Yep. Funny.

Pretty sure that would have tripped me out too. Lol

That was funny, but would have creeped me out a bit in early withdrawal. Nurse.......nurse.....

I definitely see the funny side of that , One of my most annoying withdrawal symptoms was repetitive phrases or parts of a tune and with no fan .

during my last withdrawal the auditory hallucinations scared the bejesus out of me. someone knocking on my front door (nobody there), a phone i don't have ringing...i had to have a movie on my laptop (Forrest Gump is VERY long and comforting) to have something to focus on.

i was lucky enough to make that the last time. congrats on discovering it was the ceiling fan, and congrats on aiming for sobriety!

Hmmmm. I will hear a 'phantom' radio broadcast...mostly when there is some other kind of ambient noise...like a fan. When turned off, it stops. But this is only during intense detox so, for me at least, my fan isn't transmitting anything. My brain is however.

I used to hear whispered conversations, also a result fron my bedroom fans. Wish I knew what they were whispering about. Lol

Glad you found the source of the 'music'

On my day 2 everytime I started nodding off I would hear a conversation happening like it was right beside me - freaked the crap outta me. I'm keeping on going so I hopefully don't have to repeat the detox nightmare.

Wow reading these accounts makes me think maybe my fan wasn't transmitting radio - I swear I could hear music and changing songs.

Auditory hallucinations? I can't believe that's a thing. How scary.

Guess it's not funny at all.

At least not hearing anything now...
