Elvanse and Stuttering I have recently started Elvanse titration for my ADHD and have been on it for 9 days now. On the first week I started with 30mg and I have just moved up to 50mg, this being the second day. Until today I have had little social interaction so haven't been able to see what effects the medication has had on my stutter until today. I went out for a meal with a close friend today and I almost immediately noticed that my usually mild stutter was far worse, like 3x worse no joke. I blocked on words I can usually say and the blocks felt far, far longer than usual, It felt like the speech part of my brain was drunk or something. It became a chore to even speak and I spent the whole meal just angry at myself and embarrassed whilst my friend did most of the talking. I'm with Psychiatry UK and I have read online that they are notorious for rushing the titration process compared to other companies, and I'm wondering if my brain is just getting used to the heightened levels of dopamine and the stimulant effects. I'm terrified that my stutter will be permanently effected whilst on this medication as apart from this I've had amazing results in productivity. I'm holding out hope that I will adjust to the medication and my stutter will at least go back to how it usually is. Has anyone had any similar experiences to this?
