Medication For Stuttering Hi everyone! Recently I saw this article (https://www.stutteringhelp.org/alprazolam-citalopram-and-clomipramine-stuttering) which details the combined use of Xanax and Celexa (an anti-depressant) to tackle the anxiety aspects of stuttering. I recently started on Diazepam combined with Pristiq (as i was already taking that, and Xanax is not available in Australia) and i was wondering if anybody else has tried something similar and what your experiences? I’m on day 2 and so far it hasn’t helped, (i score about an 8 on the scale on my worst days but 4 on my best) but if anybody else has tried benzodiazepines and anti-depressants to treat their stutter what results did you see if any? hopefully i can share my experiences soon :) thanks!
