You have to keep on fighting. There are medications that work for stuttering as well (but aren't FDA approved). Soon there will be a medication that IS FDA approved....

Purchased it today, looking forward to seeing if it helps. I’m also switching from Sertraline to Effexor for the past week and I’ve been having three great days SO i dont know whats affecting me but...

No, I don't really have any anxiety. Sometimes I feel nervous and anxious, which definitely makes my stutter worse, but I stutter talking to myself in my own house - and I'm definitely not anxious in ...

Thanks, I appreciate the answer. Hope Propranolol has some effect for you. You seem more informed about these meds than me, I'll do more research, but out of the three dopamine-antagonists you mentin...

You can, as you already said, try antipsychotics, so dopamine-antagonists like Risperidone or Olanzapine, Aripiprazole as they seem to be the most effective according to research. I tried a similar dr...

Nah, not an emotionless zombie. Just like ecksbe2 said it takes the edge off. I’ve also been on SSRIs in the past and while those did help, they made me emotionless and I got off them real quick....

I've heard of psychogenic stuttering, but I wasn't sure what it was. I had an argument with my guardian that left me stressed, and then three days later (it came on gradually), I started to stutter. F...

i took clomaprine for awhile, while going to speech therapy twice a week for an hour at a time, thinking it may help but it didn’t help at all...

(escitaloprám) for 5 days, only on the first day it took effect, on the rest it didn't. my stuttering improved like 30%, but it made me sleepy and fatigued...

Dopamine: more or less

Dopamine: more or less Stuttering is believed to be caused by an excess of dopamine in the region of the brain that processes speech. That is why stuttering is helped by antipsychotics, and dopamine a...

I think I did. I also was part of the Pagaclone study and perhaps I got a placebo for that too. I was on Zyprexa for a few months, and that made me block a lot. It also gave me an eyelid twitch for 1 ...

I tried Abilify (Aripiprazole)

I tried Abilify (Aripiprazole) As dopamine-antagonist seems to be the most helpful drug for stuttering, i give aripiprazole a try. I got it prescribed for tourette syndrome, which i also have. &#...

I didn’t notice a difference in my speech when I smoked or vaped. Except for being hoarse and coughing up a lung regularly...

In my case, the ease of vaping and ingesting large amounts of nicotine made my heartbeat faster, irregular breathing, and gave me higher anxiety. In turn, made my stutter worse. Actual cigarettes di...

Nicotine

Nicotine Yes this has been asked before. I just want to collate here people's experience with nicotine and stuttering...

In 2022 I wasted nearly 5000 aud on speech therapy and few weeks after my last session my speech went back to square zero, my stutter is very severe that’s why i am desperately trying anything that co...

Agree. I spent 2.5 hours each way to go sit in a room with bad wifi. At least they bought me breakfast and lunch. Even if you do not get a placebo, it will only help a subset of PWS. Not everyone has ...

it’s really annoying that there’s only 50% chance you’ll get the real thing and you don’t know, 1 hour and a half drive every week it’s a lot of struggle...

He dropped out of the study earlier. He mentioned it had a minimal effect and made him drowsy. I am dropping out as well as it is placebo for me....

Totally agree with this comment. Interestingly there have been trials with neuroleptics/antipsychotics which came to the conclusion that taking them has a diminishing effect on stuttering. However neu...
