Every drug has an obscure side effect that's fatal. Stop comparing things like that. What's the proportion of side effects amount regular people. I think diabetes medications don't have that many seri...

Yep, I don’t think I’d take them forever, even though SSRI meds are very well tolerated for prolonged periods. In my line of work where I’m constantly on conference calls, I find it helps with my anx...

You told me you got your information from an "antipsychiatry" subreddit, whereas I get my information from peer-reviewed research. We are not the same. You're blatantly dishonest and woefully ignorant...

I'm not fear mongering, buddy. Maybe I'm saying things you don't want to hear. Insulin doesn't cause any harm. Other diabetes medications do not cause severe side effects like psychotropic substances...

Stuttering is most likely not a "damage" to the nervous system, but a hidden "damage" to the temporomandibular joint, hidden sounds or pain in the joint. Neurological damage is merely a consequence. A...

Risperidone and ecopipam have different mechanisms so there is no comparison there. You state: "For the average anxiety induced stutter it won't really change that much" That's not a claim that yo...

Glad you’ve found something that works for you. 👍🏼 I take Fluoxetine and noticed a difference after 6 weeks or so. SSRI meds definitely help you to feel calmer and a lot less anxious, which indire...

Yep Abilify is a dopamine stabiliser / modulator. Xanax is a benzo which raises GABA A in the brain, essentially putting the brakes on hyperactive dopamine neurotransmitter....

Am I a “true” stutterer?

Am I a “true” stutterer? I’ve seen people here say “people who cure their stutters aren’t true stutters with a real physiological condition” I personally don’t stutter when I’m talking to myself, and...

Most stutterers do not breathe with consistent airflow. The tension and haltering airflow through the vocal cords creates the stuttering. This is what I found to be true. If you have a stuttering brai...
