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...

Exactly. In my case, there is no actual cure for my stuttering. I wish I was one of those people that stuttered when they were younger and it magically left when they got older. 48 yrs old here, still...

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...

I can't cite a source. I wrote about it here once, and they said it was advertising and removed it. Google it, for example, and type in "stuttering and TMJ." Research in this area is currently scatter...

I’m significantly less anxious in social settings, which indirectly improves my fluency because I have a lot less anticipatory anxiety around people. Less anxiety, less blocks for me. Other people o...

So you've reduced yourself to fear mongering, you really should be ashamed of yourself. Let's switch the argument to diabetes medications. If people with diabetes take a dose way too high then devas...
