> None of it is FDA approved for treatment of stuttering. Therefore drug treatment of stuttering is illegal. That is blatantly wrong. Off-label prescribing is VERY common. It is not illegal. I have had doctors who wanted to treat stuttering with clonidine or risperdone. > Likely, a doctor would ask someone to take a fraudulent diagnosis What do you even mean by taking a diagnosis lol? > And the drug prescribed can ruin lives As can many drugs. The point of taking medication is to known the risks and side effects and weigh in on whether its worth it or not. Doctors have more expertise and if a doctor recommends treatment and you agree with him, you should go with it.
