I wish you the best of luck, but don't expect a miracle. I took Paxil for a few months and it was somewhat helpful. However, any success gained was likely due to the fact it made me emotionally numb. By numb I mean that my anxiety was gone, but so was any joy or happiness. I decided it was better to stutter than to not feel anything. I now believe it is better to address your thoughts and perceptions of your stutter (easier said than done) than to medicate. This was my experience, maybe yours will be different
