I'm glad that I'm not the only one trying to block out those memories. Those embarrassing moments of stuttering ... I wouldn't be able to move on if I didn't try to forget them. I originally started taking 5-htp for mild-moderate depression, but noticed that my stuttering also reduced noticeably while taking 5-htp. It wasn't till later that I discovered some possible links between my depression and stuttering - high dopamine causing stuttering, which also translates to low serotonin (feeling depressed).
