im 18 and i started to stutter, why? for more info: I have been taking medications that I have been prescribed ever since i was 2-4 years old. I have been 18 years old for 6-9 months now (I don't want to give exact amount of months to keep identity secret) i have been stuttering for about a week now a few times a day on the first syllable of random words an extra time with no pattern and my brain pauses for a few moments after that sentence and creates a pause. its been really bothering and upsetting me more than what would be reasonable to the point of tears which isn't normal for me. (i normally don't get upset over things that other me, especially this small). i have done hours upon hours of research the past two days with no luck and i'm normally good at researching things which is a hobby of mine (yes, I know it's a weird hobby, so there is no need totell me that). Do any of yall think its just a newly developed side-effect of my medication that i've been taking for years, or is it something else? (serious comments only)
