Olanzapine Almost Completely Got Rid of my Stutter
Content
Olanzapine Almost Completely Got Rid of my Stutter I realised today that I can't remember the last time I stuttered. Olanzapine (currently on 10mg/day) has pretty much completely cured my stutter. I used to suffer from significant blocks. Now I almost never block, and the only times I can recall anything close to a stutter I easily got past with a slight exhale before talking technique. But as I said having to use fluency techniques is a rare occurrence now! I googled it and there's a study from [2012 showing Olanzapine resulted in increased fluency](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22851483/). It has some side effects like excessive sleepiness and weight gain. So you've got to weigh up the pros/cons. But I think this drug should be studied further for its stuttering benefits.
