Gabapentin caused me to stutter in doses greater than 300 mg. It also increased my anxiety and made me shaky almost to the point of real tremors. It wasn’t kind to me...

The naming convention is meaningless to you and meaningless to me, as I literally said in the closing paragraph of a comment you replied to: "The types are simply used to describe the manner in which ...

I agree with much of what you have detailed, especially that stuttering is exacerbated by anxiety linked to lack of control. However I think it is important to remember that the underlying aetiology o...

In my opinion: I think that stuttering-like disfluencies require a certain belief \[convincing oneself\] \[self-imposing demands\], which could play a critical and likely necessary role in the manife...

Opposite for me. I find I speak faster when I have less control of my breath, to rush what I can get in. I have more fluency when I focus on control of my breath and sort of force myself to slow down....

I am an air traffic controller. I applied not only because I felt I would like the job very much which I do but also to prove to myself that I could achieve whatever I wanted regardless of the stutter...

I used to talk fast without intending to. And I realized it was from a fear of blocking on words. In the end though, I still ended up blocking on words. And what's more I was out of breath because I w...

Totally Fluent. I love this topic. I wonder why we don´t discuss this more enough. Is it the breaking point with the debate if in deed stuttering is due neurological anomaly or not. From your survey ...

Because it's a symptom of anxiety, you would treat it ways you would treat the anxiety itself. Going slower, steady breathing, trying to calm your heart rate and speak casually, etc....

People at work for instance who are trying to understand my stutter do not understand how talking fast can help me get through. Sometimes when I talk fast it's because I'm trying to get all the word...

I have not tried it, I have only taken magnesium. I have been taking it for 1 week and I have felt improvement in my blocks and stress due to speech....

Depends on languages. I’m usually fluent alone in English - the stress level is different alone, and I speak softer than I would in conversation. I will always stutter in German, because it requires c...

Alter ego helps me, see yourself as a the main characters in movies when they always know how to captivate the room, I always used real actors as a big inspiration to my confidence, become an actor wh...

Does anyone experience their lips quivering or feeling like they’re shaking?

Does anyone experience their lips quivering or feeling like they’re shaking? I think it’s part of adrenaline and anxiety but I wonder how I can stop this or reduce it. It makes me nervous and I stutte...

Vitamin B: Remedy?

Vitamin B: Remedy? I know it’s not backed thoroughly, but has anyone else reduced their stuttering with a steady intake of vitamin B? When I take it regularly, it seems to calm my mind, slow my rate o...

Couple shots of tequila and half a xanax. Seriously however Many of us are somewhat perfectionist. It's ok if your speech isn't perfect and if these people aren't gonna judge you on your speech, th...

Presentation tomorrow - need some help

Presentation tomorrow - need some help I’ve got a big presentation tomorrow with a room full of around 100 coworkers (and some from the leadership team from our company). The problem is, whenever I ...

Hey! I’m 22 sometimes I also speak, but I find it so difficult that it tires my body inside, it is exhausted, i really don’t know but maybe I should try to talk more no matter what, but there are time...

Somebody was asking almost the same question in this sub before, so I've copied my answer about my experience here. Rehearse your words and behaviour in advance, this is the first and foremost. Also ...

The psychological aspect is a symptom of the underlying process. It is not the cause. The easy way to tell it's so: stress had to already have set in unconsciously for you to have the first "I'm going...
