I am taking Gabapentin 900 mg three times a day. I have a pretty severe stutter but I had it before I started taking it as well. So, I don't really think it had any effect on my stuttering....

For me, it took a very high dose to see a very small improvement, and even that might have been more of a placebo effect. I forget the amount since I stopped a while ago, but I was going through a $35...

I have - doesn't really change anything for me (btw. I'm on the medication for other reasons than stutter). At higher dose (200), I even started manifesting some unusual breath-related speech disturb...

No, it was Amitriptyline. I'm on different meds but Amitriptyline has been the one constant throughout. I've been on a lot of psych meds, some made my stuttering worse, much worse. I don't underst...

Xanax helped my stutter a lot, just by reducing the anxiety associated with my speech. Unfortunately, Xanax is really fucking addictive and there is no way my doctor would prescribe it to me, and I do...

I took paroxetine which helped with both anxiety and my stutter. My speech was so much clearer on most days. But then it stopped working :(...
