Antipsychotics apparently can reduce stuttering. They didn't work for my stuttering, caused bad side effects. I'm also on antidepressants, they don't help stuttering too, lamotrigine neither. Propran...

I have nothing positive to say about Lee Lovett. For all his advertising of a "cure" for stuttering, you will still have a stutter; you will just put in more effort to hide it. I've read half of this ...

I tried a small dosis of Aripiprazole (I think 5 mg) and it certainly helped, but for me the side effects were too severe to be worth it....

A recent poster has said that Abilify, Aripiprazole ended his stuttering. In my own case my stuttering ended while I was prescribed Abilify for 12 months and although I had to discontinue it, the flue...

Amazing when I was not talking, absolute dog shit when I had to talk in class or do a presentation....

I'm bilingual, and I stutter in both languages. One thing I've found that works in the short term but will keep myself in eternal suffering is trying to hide my stuttering. That added stress of want...

I probably stutter more in Bengali, but I can't say for sure since I mostly speak it with my parents. It was my first language before I moved to the West at a young age, but over time, I started speak...

Horrible. I stuttered, wore glasses and had a massive overbite. The bullying was non stop. By the time I got to high school, I stopped speaking completely....

Hey man. Please, please don't think about ending it all. I know it gets rough, incredibly rough. But ending it is no good for you and for your loved ones. I've also been there. I'm a stutterer too, ...

Feeling demoralised from speaking on the phone

Feeling demoralised from speaking on the phone Hi guys, I've just moved back to Melbourne after a year of travelling and am now looking for a job. I've missed out on quite a few job opportunities bec...

"Is this how you talk to customers?"

"Is this how you talk to customers?" I work in customer services. Every time when I picked up a call, I could only say "hi". I wanted to say more, like "thanks for calling ..." or "this is ..., how ca...

No, i got 6 in speaking. Overall 7. I think the examiner ignored the stutters, although it was severe. He realized it was something i had no control over, and didn't consider it while marking, maybe....

Yes, finally it took me like 20 years to stop hiding in classes, not raising my hand to answer (even though i know the answer), not interacting with others(only cuz i stutter). For my next week i wil...

I feel you. 5 years back, I used to say the exact same things youre saying, and i used to come up with qll kinds of explanation on why i was struggling at work, why i had high anxiety, etc etc. Then ...

Yep - it's physically, mentally and emotionally draining to have a stammer/stutter and struggle, whether you're actually talking or just thinking about it constantly. Have you looked into what kind of...

If you show people that you don’t care about when you stutter, then they won’t see it as something weird and it’ll be okay. I constantly travel, party and meet random people as I’m a social person, an...

I met my boyfriend in High School. I was 17, now 21. I was masking at this point. I can no longer mask anymore, I completely exhausted myself over the years. Eventually, I told him about my stutter an...

It can surely take a very long time for acceptance and have the ability to stutter freely. Remember, a lot of us have ingrained behaviors due to stuttering for decades. It can take another decade, o...

The shame you feel comes from the part of you that doesn't want to 'accept' the stutter, and thereforefore fuels the negative feedback loop. Imagine you're talking to a baby, or a dog or a wall, would...
