I couldn’t tell you what the effects of the medication would have on your stuttering. But I don’t believe Xanax (Alprazolam) should be taken on the daily. It’s very addictive, and I’ve heard you will gain tolerance for it fast. So for me, I only take it when I really need it. So try to pinpoint the most anxiety producing events of the week or month and only allow myself to take it during those times. Body tension really affects our stuttering, so I think you need to just do anything that can better your health and decreases tension due to anxiety. Meditation, assertiveness training, more self-love, exercise, eating healthy, etc. But I would really recommend the Dave McGuire course. They have an inexpensive self help book on Amazon called “Beyond Stammering: The Mcguire Program for getting good at the Sport of Speaking.” You can have the book downloaded onto your phone in minutes if you get the Amazon Kindle app. The book will go through psychological reasons for stuttering, give you a breathing technique, and inspire you to get out and practice speaking. The program will be fear inducing but use the people closest to you for support. Keep practicing the techniques and follow what the book says. Then I recommend reading “Redefining Stuttering” by John Harrison, someone who stuttered for many years and was part of the National Stuttering Association for many years. You can find a free link to the book if you google the title. If you can’t find it I will help send you a link. I was surprised to find the book for free after seeing it was sold out on Amazon.
