Random advice (or not advice) I recently discovered this compound called Phenibut. It’s not FDA approved but legal to sell for “research purposes”. It works by targeting the GABA-B receptors. This is the part of the brain that is most linked to speech. I saw a study which showed it can help reduce stuttering by 70%. I only take it before interviews/work meetings/dates and it helps. It loosens my mouth and kind of reminds me to use my lower mouth and jaw more rather than my upper mouth to speak. I would NOT recommend taking it daily, it’s addictive and your body builds up tolerance quickly. Just my two cents, I’m not a doctor.
