commentr/StutterNovember 22, 2016

Content

I tried propanolol but didn't find it to be helpful. I also tried sertraline which didn't change my stutter but helped with my mood so I'm still taking it (I think I have some anxiety that may or may not be related to the stutter). I've also tried lorazepam for performance anxiety right before presentations and didn't like how drowsy and disconnected it made me feel. It felt like being drunk, which is not really how I should function in my line of work. I've considered saphris too but I'm very hesitant to touch anti-psychotics as they usually come with so many side effects. At this point, I've kinda given up on meds reducing my stutter but I'm okay with it.
