Thanks for the article. I did just read last night a little about dopamine antagonists. I looked into some of the ones available on the market and the side effects sound brutal. I hope research continues though. It would be life changing for us to finally be free of the pain that this has caused us for so many years. It’s crazy though.. I read that stimulants help some stutterers because of the correlation between ADHD and stuttering. But some are hyper sensitive to stimulants and it worsens their speech. So essentially, one produces not enough dopamine and the other produces too much.
