Drugs won't fix what's variable. I would suggest finding a good therapist. Emphasis on "good". I.e. One that treats the whole disorder (what you're feeling) vs just one that treats what you sound like...

Hi. I just want to add that the guy not returning your phone calls is....unacceptable. If he's not qualified to help you, it's his duty to find someone who is. Screw him. I am so sorry that happen...

1) find a new SLP. Many don't know much about stuttering so try to find one that does. 2) I am a severe stutterer, 30 year old male, and over the last 5 years I've realized that people don't care abo...

hey me too. my stutter is really severe. I'm dreading starting college in the fall. I feel like shit every time I have to speak to someone. then afterwards I just replay the experience in my head over...

If your old therapist isn't returning your calls find a new one. Lots of therapists don't know jack about stuttering and often do more harm than good (FYI I stutter and am a SLP). Also- I would sugges...

I actually just went to the Doctor to talk to them about my anxiety, how it affects my stuttering/blocking, and all that good stuff. I was using Xanax for awhile to help -- it did really well at first...

I drank some kava root tea a couple of years ago and it seemed to help for a bit. But I agree with others that if you haven't gone with speech therapy, give it a shot. Helped the most....

Hello friend!! Just keep in mind that the Xanax, valium, etc are all to treat the anxiety, not the actual stutter. Also, Xanax and valium are the BIG ONES. Your doctor might start you on something a...

I think this is similar to what a large part of the logopedics community in sweden is trying to push. And the more people working on this, the better. Am afriad I wouldnt be able to referense anything...

The people around you understand that you stutter, right? Have you tried speech therapy?...

This is where I went: http://www.myofunctional.com. The therapist is also an SLP, so sessions were covered by insurance. The exercises helped kick off something in my body in which it wanted to repair...

Omg thank you so much for posting this. I have many similar problems - can I ask who was the therapist you saw? I am curious as to the exercises but I understand that every person needs individually t...

Hi. I have not dealt with a similar situation myself, neither with alcohol nor stuttering. But I'm going to answer you anyway. (I do not have a stutter, as I said, but I know an odd amount for a la...

Really really appreciate your response especially about not finding ways around but to accept it. I have had experience in the past with mental health services and had some success with a really nice ...

Seek professional help. You'll get more out of it than you will from this sub. Alcoholism destroys lives and it's good that you're recognizing the harm it's doing to you. Now you need to take action....

Thank you! Actually, in my country it's the practitioner’s responsibility to refer the patient to the speech therapist as it's fully covered by health insurance. My employee stopped going to the speec...

Hope it goes well! I've recently started seeing a speech therapist and I can safely say that it's helped a bit....

Yeah the funny thing about stuttering is that the more conscious you are of it, the worse it gets. I also realized that I stutter after doing it for 10 years because I only have blocks. At first I l...

I feel like if you didn't have anything to worry about you woudn't be here. But you are here. For your mental health you need to address this via self-help and some sort of therapy (mental/speech), an...

If you really want to help him, let him know you know about his speech impediments and that you're willing to help him out. It sounds like he would benefit greatly from speech therapy, so if he's not ...
