Very interesting how dopamine regulating meds improve fluency. Even GABA enhancing medications improve fluency to some degree, because GABA essentially puts the “brakes” on dopamine hyperactivity, qu...

Yep, thus the caveat statement at the bottom of my post. I’ve heard dopamine boosting drugs like Ritalin improves fluency for stutterers who have ADHD as well. Whereas dopamine reducing drugs improv...

Some key differences here: sertraline (Zoloft) is an SSRI, an antidepressant. This you take daily and it blocks the re-uptake of serotonin in your brain, increasing the serotonin. Fluoxetine is also a...

Great well I have ADHD so elyanse gives me more dopamine but improves my speech....

Well I ended up on higher dose after that message and then ended up going down again and dropping it. Think the speech improvement stuff is just placebo. For me the only real noticeable effect on it w...

Heightened anxiety and adrenaline can cause surges in dopamine, which can further exacerbate speech blocks and dysfluency, especially in stressful speaking situations such as meetings/presentations et...

Doing it every single day will cause significant dysregulation of dopamine in your brain. Focus all that pent up energy into exercise instead. You’ll find your speech fluency improves as your dopamin...

I've has covid almost every year, to the point the effects are diminishing each time i get it. So that is one potential factor yes, but for a symptom to be 2 years? Then again, I really still don't h...

Yeah I feel you, that's honestly the biggest problem with having a condition that has no real medical treatment. I think all we can really do is just go with anecdotal evidence and experiment with dif...

Yeah, I'd be interested. My DMs are open. And I'm only saying that because I'm trying stuff on my own that has gotten me some decent benefits so far...

Yes, because green tea is high in L-Theanine, but make sure you get decaffeinated green tea. You’re actually better off just taking L-Theanine supplements. It boosts Alpha waves, GABA and Seratonin i...

Nothing unfortunately, I don't even feel other effects that many people do, so the problem might be on my side....

Question regarding medication

Question regarding medication I have a mild stutter, but it gets worse when I do job interviews. I have been really struggling to find a full time job in my field. Hence, I went to a doctor and told h...

Yes it’s very fascinating! It seems there’s a very fine balance between all neurotransmitters in order for fluent speech to occur. For stutterers, we have dysregulated neurotransmitters in the speec...

that is sosos interesting and i'll try bringing it up because i was never told about dopamine agonist/antagonist !...

oh wait good point, the dosage wasn't that high but it was psychosis level (it was years ago i can't remember numbers)...

Well I’ve always have a moderate stutter since childhood. After speech therapy as an adult, I gained some fluency but relapsed back to the point where I was perhaps 60% fluent. After researching the...

I take anti-anxiety medication, Fluoxetine, on a daily basis. For a heavy speaking day, I’ll take Propanolol and Baclofen. These work great for me, so I haven’t actually needed to try a dopamine anta...

Yep same here! It blocks adrenaline and lowers your heart rate etc.....
