Does anyone know if anxiety meds help with stutter? I am 20F and i have had a stutter since I was 5 years old i believe. I tried therapy when i was a kid (i hated it). Then gave it another chance in 2024 and loved it. But i discontinued it after a year. I wanna go back to therapy again. I think it really helped me feel more natural in my own voice. But i am also considering the anxiety part. Interviews are bad. I hate presenting in class and talking when pressured. I feel it might be because of my anxiety (which is undiagnosed, i never went to a doctor for that). I have heard from some that anxiety meds can make you stutter more. I don’t know if i should consider it or not.
