Does anyone here take Prozac? Does it make your stutter worse? Been really hesitant on starting Prozac because I’ve read that it can cause an increase in stuttering. I’ve had a stutter my whole life, it’s not severe, but can be at times (certain situations that increase anxiety), and I definitely don’t want to risk it getting any worse. But my anxiety & depression has been pretty bad lately and I’m just feeling kind of stuck. I know this is a pretty uncommon question, hoping maybe someone here can relate? Please help :/
