I stopped drinking coffee and alcohol in January and my stutter has almost disappeared. I contribute it to lower levels of anxiety and fear. And better sleep. If I have a little delay in my speech now, I just don’t care. Life is too short. Can anybody relate?

It happens to me to . And i think the reason is that when we are tired and sleepy we don't get anxious and speak slowly....

That makes a lot of sense. I know I’m zombie like when I wake up. Ask me anything I’ll tell you. But maybe the rem cycle as well?...

Im the exact opposite. I go to work 4:30am some days and it takes a minute for me to gets to a point where I can speak. end of shift Im more fluent then the start. I do vocal warm-ups in the car on th...

Why do I speak very fluently after just waking up?

Why do I speak very fluently after just waking up? My voice is the clearest when I just wake up. I don’t stutter at all and I feel that speaking is super easy and smooth. This stops once I brush my te...

First of all, thank you for being so open and willing to help your daughter in any way! It’s awesome that she has a parent like you. Personally, I know my stutter’s severity fluctuates based on outs...

Getting past my Stammer (25 or so years on)

Getting past my Stammer (25 or so years on) **Note there are references to medications in this: they are certainly not an endorsement, far from it.** Ok so I joined this sub and spent a few days rea...

I developed a stammer around age 27 (5 years ago) and I think it was stress induced from my job at the time. I left the job and have low stress. The stammer essentially went away but still pops into m...

Mine came back 3 years ago. I did attend speech therapy as a kid and did find it useful. My stutter was hardly noticeable as a teenager and throughout the majority of my 20s. It used to only be notice...

I met a therapiest and she prescribed a drug called Valdoxin 25mg. I have to take it before I go to bed every night for 2 months and take a brake for 2 weeks and then take the medicine again. Plus I h...

Zyprexa didn't really help my fluency a whole lot. What it did do is give me anhedonia like no other, even if it made me 100% fluent, just for this side effect alone I still wouldn't take it. Also, ...

So my triggers are being tired, hungover and nervous. Three things I lived with in college almost daily. That’s probably why mine came back after being gone for about 15 years....

I was like you at first and then it stopped working. A few years ago I was obsessed with finding the perfect drug cocktail of stopping the stutter and all would lose their effect soon. I eventutally r...

Yes, disappointingly. I’d heard first hand accounts that it makes the stutter get better. But alas, no. Only thing that works for me (unintentionally) is to stay up late / get very poor sleep. Then ...

Coffee makes it worse, marijuana does nothing, I tried CBD in hopes that it would help me be more relaxed & improve my blocks - did nothing. Also dark chocolate has the same effect as coffee on me. S...

My stutter briefly improves when I’m just getting tipsy. Then takes a nosedive… next day is worse. Reason why I mostly don’t drink alcohol or coffee....

While drinking? No. Next day? 100%. That is because alcohol, even a single beer, affects my quality of sleep so I am tired the next day....

With me it does. If I'm too low or too stimulated I can't speak. I think it's all about moderation...
