Stuttering at a job interview

Stuttering at a job interview So I just had a job interview about 30 mins ago and I can't explain in words how bad I F'd up describing my professional background because of this stuttering. This job p...

I have the same problem. For me it is because I'm scared I'll stutter and that stress makes me stutter. It's weird but when I'm alone I speak fluently so thats probably the cause. For you to reduce it...

If our cortisol levels aren’t genetically higher than I’m sure they’re higher just from leading the stressful life of a stutterer....

I've heard the dopamine theory before. But in my experience I personally feel like when my Dopamine is low and seratonin is too high (in a hang over like state) I tend to stutter alot more. When Dopam...

For me, Ritalin (methylphenidate) actually improved my speech. I usually have a severe stutter but when I first took Ritalin I was talking away (and speaking really fast too). I asked my psychiatrist...

I notice a similar pattern in myself. Also, increased stimulants lead to poor sleep—another cause of increases in blocks and stuttering for me—and it all becomes a hard cycle to break....

I'm a big fan of CBD for my general anxiety and to keep stress in check. It has helped me be a lot more relaxed when speaking. While it doesn't make my stutter go away, it also helps me have a more 's...

I switched from short acting stimulants to the LA version and it reduced the jitters. ADHD meds help me focus on what I’m saying instead of wandering in my head and my speech tends to feel smoother. B...

I’m pretty stimulant heavy so probably need to start cutting back as I’m definitely having diminishing returns. Vyvanse, coffee every morning and vaping throughout the day. I’ve noticed that when stim...

I notice a significant contributor to my blocks is drinking large amount of coffee; coffee is a stimulant, just like ADHD meds. I 100% believe stimulants of any kind contribute to “bad days” with my b...

Yes, my son has ADHD and a severe blocking stutter. Vyvanse nearly rendered him mute for the short time he was on it. We started using a whiteboard at home just to communicate with him. Right now he's...

Yes. I was diagnosed with adhd at 45 and put on adderall. I have blocks on glottal vowels. My stuttering has never been worse. But also my stress has never been higher....

I’ve had this as well. For me, there is an unmistakable correlation between life changes and stuttering. It usually takes several months to acclimate to my new surroundings and situation, but it does ...

sorry to hear that happened to you. celexa was the best medication i’ve ever taken, first time i’ve ever felt “normal” and felt confident to speak. if it wasn’t for the sedating side effects and cogni...

I used to take Celexa. I felt nauseous the first time I took it but got over it. After I had the dosage increased I threw up. That's when I decided that I'd rather just stutter than taking something t...

same thing happened to me, but I know the triggering event. final year at college we were told we would be doing a presentation in front of the year group at the end of the year. the anxiety hit me ri...

>"Anybody else ever experienced anything like this or have any ideas to why it would happen?" Yes absolutely, stress could have been the initial trigger at age 28. As to why? Whenever you are in a...
