What is your experience with Ashwagandha? Hello guys, I am 24M. I have been stuttering my whole life. It fluctuates a lot from mild to severe. It is mostly tied to my stress and anxiety. But also I believe that there is some randomness. I tried nearly all kinds of therapies. I have studied with multiple speech therapists and none of them have helped. Like I used traditional therapy, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, voluntary stuttering and some fluency shaping techniques and so on. So I just think that I am more specialized in stuttering than any kind of therapist. Most of them lack knowledge about it. So I am just thinking about trying to treat it myself. I am a long time reader of this sub. I have never tried any medications or supplements to treat stuttering. And I feel like my brain chemistry or neurological factors play a big role. So I am thinking of giving some try. I saw some posts about ashwagandha that help them tremendously. What is your experience with it? Should I give it a try? I am also open to any kind of suggestions [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/15j4u4v)
