No, I don't really have any anxiety. Sometimes I feel nervous and anxious, which definitely makes my stutter worse, but I stutter talking to myself in my own house - and I'm definitely not anxious in my own house lol. Yeah I took Prozac, which is an anti anxiety med. Unfortunately, I noticed no difference with my speech, however I also had zero side effects. My doctor thought increasing the dose would not be effective. I also took Propranolol, which can help with anxiety. I noticed zero side effects as well, but no effect on my speech. Dopamine antagonists and anti-psychotics seem to be the next "level up" from anxiety meds, so I'll probably be talking with a doctor about that.
