I’m In the middle of this right now. I started on an SSRI when I was about 16 to try and help with my stutter. I’m 38 now and Over the years Ive bounced around trying to find one that worked. Well, I recently got frustrated with the whole situation so I weened myself off of them altogether and I feel worse than ever. Like the others said, once you start, you’re stuck. I weened off very slowly and been off them for about 5 months and my stutter is worse than ever. Im also experiencing depression symptoms I’ve never had. Over all these years I never thought my stutter improved. They certainly help with depression if you are dealing with that, but as far as improving your stutter, I don’t think it will help. It didn’t for me at least.
