Yes you could use an app instead of the SpeechEasy. The benefit of the SpeechEasy is that's going to be socially acceptable to wear in all situations. Even if others see it they'll assume it's a heari...
Wow! That is quite an improvement! I would be happy with any improvement in my fluency. I have tried other drugs (klonopin, propranolol, buspar) with no luck. I am optimistic as well...do you thin...

I know!! I was so hyped for Pagoclone a couple years ago....and we all know how that turned out. I never try to get my hopes up for stuff like this, but I think any medical research for stuttering i...
I just hope it won't be another Pagoclone debacle. It's still going to take ~10 years before these are on the market though, if they are proven to work....
