That’s great that the medication has been working! Though I agree with sunnydlite. I can’t say because I’ve never taken meds but stuttering is composed of a lot of emotions that need to be processed for the stuttering to be cured. You have to let go of your fear of stuttering, or generally being judged. And many of us are also afraid of rewards and compliments too. We need to awaken our inner warrior in a sense, so that we are strong enough to admit to show to others that we don’t always have our composure, but that we lose it sometimes. Because for me, the more I try to act like I’m totally confident, the more I start to stutter. So vulnerability (accepting emotions) is key
