https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6997432/ ^^For developmental stuttering in particular Gives an idea as to how complicated it is! Stress can definitely increase the likelihood/frequency of s...
People’s stutters can be different. I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s just an anxiety thing in this case when we don’t know. Rehearsal works for some people and not others. It’s a very complicated s...
I overanalysed my stutter and it has helped me a lot
I overanalysed my stutter and it has helped me a lot This might be a long post, but before I start it, I'd just like to let you know that I'm fairly confident my stutter is anxiety based. So not an ac...
True but I will add it is hard to do the detachment as you will. Stuttering is a string of thought but requires good mental energy to deflect those thoughts and actually detach. There are things you...
Not true at all. Everyone is different. I felt euphoric the first several days, like I took an adderal or something. The tension in my throat was lessened by this effect. I’ve been taking it for almos...
Yes, sugary + caffeinated coffee and energy drinks makes my stutter worse too! As soon as I stopped drinking these beverages, my fluency improved a lot. These drinks block adenosine in the brain and...
ok one question, if I drink energy my stutter gets worse, what does it say about my dopamine level....
I have an essential tremor that comes and goes in one of my hands, and definitely notice it’s worse with stress. It all seems related!...
Same. I get headaches at times when I talk (stuttering) a lot during the day....
Sounds like a stress response to me. Elevated adrenaline and a surge in Norepinephrine in the brain due to the anticipatory fear. The end physical result is trembling....
I noticed if I sleep lesss, o have a better fluency for that day. Based on my research it has to do isto the dopamine like the guy above said. Super interesting. If I sleep 6 hours a can be confident....
There are significantly more people with “anxiety disorders” on a global scale, than stutterers. They don’t stutter. So no, anxiety doesn’t “cause” stuttering. Stats: According to the World Health ...
Did anyone else only started stuttering right after the covid lockdowns were lifted or because they spent too much time in isolation?
Did anyone else only started stuttering right after the covid lockdowns were lifted or because they spent too much time in isolation? For context: Stuttering was never an issue for me until a few year...
The only “overlap” between stuttering and drug/alcohol addiction is the neurotransmitter Dopamine. Addicting is “craving” that dopamine surge in the brain, and that euphoria that comes along with it....
If you really don’t think it’s stress/anxiety it is definitely possible to develop a stutter in your adult years. Not that likely but definitely possible. Or you could be just talking to fast & not ta...
Yep, it takes the edge off and makes speaking more effortless, which is how it SHOULD be! I find that effect after 3-4 alcoholic drinks. Why? Because alcohol floods the brain with GABA which puts th...
I don’t know about you, but there’s almost an overwhelming energy that makes me stutter in most situations, and it helped with that a lot. I could actually make phone calls, which is something I’ve al...
Can’t be cured… yet! There are only fluency shaping strategies and possibly some meds which regulate dopamine in the brain to help with speech fluency. You need to find what works for you. Speak to a...
Ingrezza is the brand name of a medicine whose active ingredient is valbenazine. Ingrezza reduces the release of certain neurotransmitters (notably dopamine) in nerve endings, which helps normalize ...
The only medication that helped (besides benzos) is called Ingrezza. But it’s a pain in the ass to get. No pharmacy carries it so you have to order from a “specialty pharmacy”. Anyway I noticed a big...
