That is an incredible shift and thank you for sharing your story. You are right that some people notice changes in stuttering when starting or adjusting medications like SSRIs, though the experiences vary quite a bit. For some, the reduction in anxiety makes speech feel freer, while for others there is not much change. What you described, being more fluent day to day but still noticing challenges in high pressure moments like public speaking, is actually very common. Medication can certainly play a role, but many people also find it helpful to build strategies for those higher stakes speaking situations so they feel more in control no matter the context. That is something I work on with clients who stutter, along with building confidence in professional and social interactions.
