Antipsychotics apparently can reduce stuttering. They didn't work for my stuttering, caused bad side effects. I'm also on antidepressants, they don't help stuttering too, lamotrigine neither. Propranolol works great for physical effects of anxiety like heart palpitations but doesn't help my stuttering. If we're talking about anxiety, benzos DON'T help too. They for sure make me care free, not anxious about speaking so I consider it a win I guess? Pregabalin helps with anxiety too but doesn't help my stuttering. Tldr: tried many meds and none helped my stuttering :/
