Medicines for stuttering Hi, I'm a 28 year old boy and I've been stuttering since I was little. In my life I have tried different courses and they have improved me but I have never been able to feel free. About 5 years ago I started drug therapy with olanzapine 2.5 mg and duloxetine 60 mg and it helped me a lot with depression, mood swings and anxiety. Along with these I was also prescribed Xanax about 30 drops a day and from there my stuttering was no longer a problem. I would go out with girls and before I did I would take 30-40 drops of Xanax and I was fluid all the time, it almost didn't seem real. I went out with friends, took Xanax and was able to tell jokes and stories and was very calm. All this lasted for 5 years, although in the last year I overdid it a bit with caffeine and cigarettes which made me anxious at times and by doing so I took more Xanax. Some days I also took 100-120 drops of Xanax but they were sporadic episodes. Some days I took 40-60 drops instead of 30. However in the last month my stuttering is a disaster, I always take 30 drops of Xanax a day and even increasing them I feel like it no longer affects my stuttering but only my anxiety. I don't know what to do honestly. They advised me to consult the psychiatrist and try switching to clonazepam which is a benzodiazepine similar to Xanax and which can help with stuttering
