Introduction/Anyone try nootropics for fluency? Aloha everyone! My name is Makena, and I live in Hawaii. I recently graduated from Purdue which has a lot of stuttering research coming out of it, and it wasnt until I went to speech therapy there that I feel as though my stutter no longer controls my life, but yes I do still stutter. Ive stuttered for as long as I can remember, but accept it much more now, and by doing so stutter less. I still get blocks though, especially on my stupid NAME!! But thats common, right? Im curious if anyone has tried any nootropics or pharmaceuticals that have aided in increasing fluency? I would like to add that I believe one needs to accept their stutter first before trying substances, as they are only there for an AID and not a fix all. I have been dabbling in some nootropics, and find that many anxiolytics help to reduce anxiety which therefore decrease the amount of times I have the thought of, "Oh god Im gonna stutter here!". Many people report that piracetam increases verbal fluency, but I havent tried it yet.
