is medication worth it?

is medication worth it? I might have to start taking medication again (not sure what kind yet) but im really hesitant to start. Im 21 and my life is basically perfect, accept most of the time, Im abso...

I wonder if I can subconsciously increased my dopamine too much if I get myself really tensed up and caught in a severe block when I feel like mute, no sound would come out. But if I increase my effo...

I wouldn’t do that. There are electrolyte products that help you know better how much you should consume a day. Just throwing salt into the water may cause other problems in the long run....

I remember taking a benzo and being like 60% more fluent for a while. It probably has to do with blood flow and relaxation...

Is it even legal to force people to take medication against their will? Even if you still are underage, is there any way to bring that up to the doctor or specialist who is giving you the medication...

I’m 99.9% sure I received the actual dose. It made me sleep an extra couple of hours a day (the afternoon was the worst, I’d nod off at work) and I felt really flat. It reduced my stuttering a good ...

I know you don't want to consider this risky behavior because of the short term positive results. Yes, alcohol made me more outgoing but it also made me an alcoholic. Anyone can get addicted to an ad...

My question was whether or not you'd be "open" to it at all. Every medication, even Acetaminophen has potentially severe side effects....

Would be great but I’d like to hear about the side effects first. My experience with medication is that it helps with your main problem but creates 1-3 new problems....

I got on a clinical trial. I don’t know how you would get it illegally. It reduced it about a third, most of the reduction coming after an initial block. On the downside, your happiness decreases...

For me it wasn't that bad until the stress from work kick in, so I decided to go with pills now I'm trying Xanax, 3 days (definitely to early to a real diagnosis) so far it's not like I get blocks her...

I did a clinical trial on ecopipam. It does decrease it a bit. In my opinion, the side effects aren’t worth it...

What helped your stutter?

What helped your stutter? So I recently read an article about a doctor that also had a stutter and took Olanzapine for it and it helped with blocks etc., I got prescribed the same medication And I’m ...

Yes, Ecopipam is drug developed by Dr. Maguire and I think it is more selective than AP's so there are less side effects. He is maybe the only who tries to treat medically this horrible condition. Can...

It might be worth trying a range of different antipsychotics (under medical supervision) to find the one with the lowest side effects. Each drugs effects everyone in a unique way....

Sadly many antipsychotics come with nasty side effects that can make you feel like a zombie. Not sure if that's preferable to stuttering....

I have adhd, antipsychotics honestly did make my speech better but the side effects were horrible. If I took a pill today I’d probably be in a brain fog for a few days....

Chemical solutions are not supposed to magically fix problems, they are tools to alleviate symptoms. No doubt that one would still have to put a lot of work and effort in achieving fluency. Many peop...

I used to do tech support for Mac OS and ya I stuttered but was fairly good at the job as for as helping the customers. I didn't sell much, and probably gave to much free support. My call times where ...

Did you have any increased anxiety when you started? I remember when I tried Lexapro those first few weeks were rough...
