I'd have to disagree with all the people recommending SSRIs. The side effects these drugs have are very serious. High School was a hard time for my stutter as well. My advice is to stop avoiding all t...

Well, my husband married me and I have a pretty prominent stutter. Been together 10 years and just celebrated our 1st anniversary in October. However, 10 days to get married is a horrible idea. Good l...

One more thing, the premise of accepting really annoys, me. Although, I believe accepting your stutter is very healthy, but if you are accepting your stutter, and doing nothing to manage/control/overc...
