Anyone noticed a decrease in stuttering after being on SSRIs (antidepressants)? Your mood affects how much you stutter. For example, when I'm happy, I stutter a lot less. That is not to say that it is true for everyone. I had generalized anxiety in general and was recently placed on medication. I can say the anxiety and over thinking has gone down significantly hut the stuttering has not had that dramatic of an improvement. So it's not a magic pill to remove it all. But it has helped. Anyone with a similar experience?
