I could be wrong but ability is.a 3rd gen antipsychotic. It has issue of risk of metabolic syndrome. So you gain weight, higher risk of increased sugar, higher ldl. You need monitoring not sure about...

Antipsychotics apparently can reduce stuttering. They didn't work for my stuttering, caused bad side effects. I'm also on antidepressants, they don't help stuttering too, lamotrigine neither. Propran...

I tried a small dosis of Aripiprazole (I think 5 mg) and it certainly helped, but for me the side effects were too severe to be worth it....

A recent poster has said that Abilify, Aripiprazole ended his stuttering. In my own case my stuttering ended while I was prescribed Abilify for 12 months and although I had to discontinue it, the flue...

Medication for stuttering

Medication for stuttering Has anyone discovered any medications that are effective in reducing stuttering? I’ve read that combining Xanax and citalopram can be beneficial. Has anyone experimented with...

The experience of many people who claim that a pill for stuttering exists has mostly been negative. Why? Because really strong pills have side effects on the heart and liver. The second point is the d...

This is a personal hot take but I'm not a fan of any pharmacuticals in general. Stuff like anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds, adderral, etc etc. Hard pass. Nope. Unless there is something th...

Happy for you. When did you start noticing clear effects on your speech fluency? I seem to be quite susceptible to akathisia and had to stop any trial with neuroleptics because of it sadly....

I tried ability and it made think about suicide all the time. I wasn't suicidal but I wouldn't stop thinking about it. I thought I was going crazy....

Yeah absolutely. MDMA my fluency is pretty great. Cocaine it’s awful though. A light amount of cannabis seems to help. Alcohol I see no difference....

I never said it was the case for everyone. Stuttering is unique to each individual. My only point is it's not always worth the side effects for what in some cases is minimal (if not no) help. Hopefull...

Yeah but that’s not the case for everyone. I’ve seen people say anxiety meds helped a little or a lot with their fluency and others say meds didn’t help at all. Everyone is different....

I’ve seen other people say the same but I also think everyone reacts differently to meds. I think you need to take meds for at least a couple months or weeks for them to fully kick in. did it help wit...

Yes, I think anxiety, excitement, fear, etc, but I didn't like meds though.  When i took them once for a short time, I couldn't feel anything, not joy, not excitement, nothing.  I remembered how much ...

Medications to reduce stuttering are medications with a very high number of serious side effects. Of course all medications have more or less significant side effects, but I find that those from medic...

How high was your dose? I am on the lowest 2mg to be safe (don't want to take antidepressants even tho the reason is for depression/anxiety/adhd and I didn't find out this was an antipsychotic until a...

Yea, I mean if you see it having potential medicinal benefits for you then why would you decide to quit, you want to find a safer, less habitual and better scheduled way of using right? I was in a sim...

Sorry to hear about the traumatic event. I’m on bupropion and have had the same stutter / jaw tremor. It was awful! I cut out caffeine and it has completely stopped....

I tried it. It improved a little, but when the effects of the pill wore off, it would be way worse than it started and I'd have to immediately take another one. Eventually, you build up a tolerance, a...

I used to think alcohol helped my stutter at first, but the more & more I drank it became clear it didn’t. eventually I always had to have c*ke when I drank so if I did too much I’d literally go mute ...
