Ten Years on Citalopram: A Life-Changing Journey from Stuttering to Speech Freedom I started Citalopram 10 years ago to help with anxiety and panic attacks. I was 42 then and after a very short time my stuttering went from a 6 to a 2. It may not work for some but it has been the only thing that has worked for me. I've done fluency shaping and other techniques since I was 7 but nothing worked. For me its the brain. I know how to talk and didn't stutter while talking to animals or reading alone. I will be on this medication forever if it helps me. I was finally able to say my name which was a huge deal. I have no emotional reactions when I do stutter and was finally able to say what I wanted to say. Its been a life changer for me.
