Agreed, taking a daily beta blocker will not fix a stutter. You'd get used to the impact, or you might start passing out in public if your BP goes to low. I only use it once or twice a decade when I have a truly stressful thing to do. A healthier way to deal with this for me is to take 1 magnolia bark pill along with 1 sativa oats pill. This does what 2/3 of a valium does, but is less toxic to the brain. But I wouldn't go driving or drinking with this in my system., and not for daily consumption since it makes me a little loopy. So you are right, more useful to stop worrying what other people think of you. And I found this helped me in other aspects of my life too. I'll often have lazy students give me horrible reviews on ratemyproffessor so not giving a shit helps with my profession, too.
