How effective has vitamin B1 resulted in reducing stuttering? -Hello. Maybe this topic has been going around here many times before but unfortunately i havent been aware that there has been a vitamin that has been helping stutterers, well only the 30% as far as ive done my research. As the one who stutters knows best, i dont need to explain how devastating and heartbreaking it is because we all know that it has destroyed our lives. To keep this short and ongoing to the ones reading this, i have a mild stutter which has limited basically my whole life and made me hate everything about myself, maybe i am the one who is so deep in my head that im manipulating myself into thinking that everyone hates me, im aware of that, but who knows? I feel so helpless sometimes that i dont even wanna stay awake anymore, i dont remember the last time that ive talked to someone about my stuttering, it has just been me and myself all along, fighting with my own piece of mind and trying to get to the other side as if there were any other good side to this. Have you ever thought to yourself that maybe being reincarnated will turn you into a non-stutterer? Not to call myself suicidal but theres not a single night that i dont think about something that includes “me dying and not stuttering on the after life”, like, smth about it makes me so excited and i even stop myself and tell myself that youre going to far with your thoughts, but how could i not go? As someone that is hopeless, a little hope looks like a reward. Ive been the only one helping myself throughout life and im proud of it, my family too, im sorry that i got to comfortable and made this a “storyline”, this wasnt supposed to be so personal, i just came across a research that i read and showed that 30% of the stutterers taking vitamin b1 was proved scientifically or not with massive results, someone improved from it, someone didnt, but i thought to give it a shot, as a stutterer, i havent done anything “medical” about it, i havent never gone to a speech therapist or even talked one or attended lectures about it and exercises, im 20years old and the only thing that ive been doing my whole life is hitting the gym and keeping myself optimistic enought to not stutter, just joking, but ive helped myself mentally and emotionally. And as far as i notice i think i have improved, but nothing recognizable, im ready to give everything that it takes just to get rid of this stoppage that has limited everything in my life, especially my dreams and who i wanna be and accomplish. -I wanna ask, have someone from here has taken vitamin b1 and has seen progress with it? Im gonna buy a bottle this week and give it a try, with magnesium for greater absorption, the recommended dose as a starter was 300mg per day as far as im aware, its not that big and at the end of the day its just a vitamin so it wont make shit worse, like it already is lol. 3 capsules of 100mg per day. But i just wanna hear someones experience, or someones advice on this, so i would really appreciate if someone could take their time and educate me on this. Hopefully it will work and hopefully it will decrease my stuttering a bit, that would be a great help to me. Any advice or thing that has worked magically for you stutterers out there, i wish to hear it, despite the vitamin b1, anything else, share it, i would really appreciate it, maybe ill start loving myself and my life, who knows. Lmao. Love you all<3
