Wellbutrin helped my stutter a lot. But I hated it. It gave me insomnia and made the days fly by in a haze....

Thank you for such a detailed response! I think it's great that you've finally been able to find someone you can talk to. I think my next step is going to be trying to talk about it with my mom. Her ...

I'm sure a few drinks wouldn't go amiss ;) Phrasing sounds very interesting. I actually do a lot of singing, and I'm (almost) completely fluent when doing it, so I'll definitely look into that. Thank...

2mg of clonazepam a day does wonders for my residual stuttering. I can speak whole paragraphs without getting stuck. I'm taking it for anxiety and OCD, along with depression, and it helps control the ...

I've found that anti anxiety medications help with my stuttering. When I'm more relaxed I become more fluent but I don't like the side effects accompanied with benzos and muscle relaxers....

Thanks, for that great and succinct information. I ended up with lexapro. A few years ago I took buspar and propanolol but it had zero effects. We'll see......

I'm on Saphris right now but the benefits have decreased since I've started. I'm trying out buspar right now in combination with propanolol. So far, I have yet to find something that works long term. ...

Very interesting. The main reason why I have hesitated from prescription drugs is because of the perceived side effects and dependency. I have been under therapy for the last 13 years and have seen gr...

The only side effects I had from Buspar was a short, but severe headache about 20 minutes after taking the pill. I figured out that if I broke it in half, then the side effects were pretty much non-e...

Benadryl helps me

Benadryl helps me I don't take it daily or anything because I think it would lose it's effectiveness, but some nights when I can't sleep I take one benadryl or simliar sleep aid and I find I'm more fl...

The saphris isn't meant to treat the psychological side of stuttering, but it is intended to treat what is thought to be the cause of stuttering, excess dopamine in the brain. We used the actual study...

I think that propanolol can be helpful but not for everyone. It blocks adrenaline so it helps in situatuions that cause nervousness and high stress. The thing is that I would stutter in situations tha...
