I'm 26 and like others here, I've gone through high and low periods. A couple of years I was diagnosed with ADHD and started taking Adderall. It made my life better in ways I never thought possible. Besides being able to focus on things, I no longer had anxiety and my stutter went away almost entirely. Unfortunately, about a year ago it started giving me daily debilitating headaches and I can no longer take Adderall. Now my stutter is as bad as it was in high school and I am extremely depressed and bitter, in part because it feels like a miracle drug ripped away from me. I still hold out hope. I know this is a low point in my life but I know I will bounce back at some point. If I stopped stuttering before I can do it again.
