Stuttering and drugs I love weed, but It makes my stuttering (even) worse. I found that benzos (xanax etc) and muscle relaxers help a little. Alcohol helps just for the moment. Obviously I do benzos in moderation (and so should you) because I don't want to get hooked in any substance that can drag my whole life down and lose job relationships dropout etc. Because then I would really be fucked and my stuttering will again be worse. Basically "damned if you will, damned if you don't" I just seek a little relief, something to take my mind away from it.. Unfortunately everything has its price.. What is your relationship with drugs and how does it affect your speach? Have you find something that has helped you? Thank you in advance
