Speech and medication/diet Hello Everyone, I’m seeking some advice, so my speech is typically mild and can often go unnoticed, but at times it becomes so severe that I struggle to speak at all. I’ve noticed that caffeine and ADHD stimulants tend to worsen my speech disfluency, so I’m curious if anyone has had success with specific medications or dietary adjustments to improve fluency. I’ve observed that poor sleep significantly impacts my speech—by as much as 50%—which makes me wonder if fluency might be improved through certain lifestyle changes, more sleep + no caffeine and adhd medication. I’d greatly appreciate any insights or experiences you’re willing to share. ✌🏻
