How do you deal with stuttering?

How do you deal with stuttering? I have a big stuttering problem (although the average person doesn't really notice it) regarding beginning sounds. There are many sounds that I just can't come out of my mouth, for whatever reason. Sometimes I'll have a hard time breathing, from my lungs being restrained, trying to make those words come out, but they just won't. Having a job and going to college is so difficult with this problem. When meeting someone, I can't make my name come out sometimes, which is so freaking frustrating. Is there no cure or pill to fix this? Why is a problem like this still going on? Anyone know how to make this easier?
