Overcoming Stuttering and Gaining Confidence: My 10-Year Journey with Paxil (Paroxetine) I was placed on Paxil (Aropax) an SSRI some 10 years ago for possible anxiety/depression. The benefit to my stuttering was enormous. I still stutter occassionally, mainly on the phone.  But, I can now communicate with the rest of the world, something I had difficulty doing for 45 years of my life. The life as a stutterer is really cruel, as you all know.  An many people out there will try and take advantage of you.  I have had many business relationships suffer because the other side thought I must be sub normal and not very bright, because I stuttered. Many people have tried to take advange of me.  I now use it to my advantage, setting them up for a fall when they try it on, which most do at some point. Paxil has made my life normal.  However I do warn you it is very difficult to wean yourself off Paxil.  Though I cannot think of any good reason why you would want to go off it. As I get older I have found that I have more difficulty ejaculating, but it is not a big deal, my libido hasn't suffered.
