I think that the information in this comment would have been better served to be put in the original body of the post. I know that our rules are strict about medication mentions but they do include a caveat about allowances for personal experiences. As a PWS who has also been diagnosed with ADHD and whose stutter varies in severity based on the circumstances in which I've taken the medication (how much I've had to eat, if what I ate had protein in it, if I've had caffeine that day, etc), my personal experience would have been relevant to what sounds like the root of this issue you're having. Because how the posts reads is decidedly not reflective of the actual root of the issue here, and that's why the comments you're getting are so negative. I think you should update the body of this post with the information about the medication or maybe revise it entirely and repost it. I'll let our mod team know not to remove your post because it contains mention of ADHD medications if you so choose to edit or remake the post.
