Anyone else realize the only thing that helps sadly are benzodiazepines Drugs like klonopin or Xanax, highly addictive drugs not to be taken every day. Not like I can get a prescription anyway but i have taken recreationally in the past and my stutter vanished, also with magic mushrooms but that’s obviously not a cure lol also had a terrible trip on them but I didn’t stutter. I’m a janitor at a middle school and my speech is absolutely terrible at work I mean blocking on every word and even in the middle of words. People don’t look at the quality of my work they hear me and just assume I’m an idiot and not good at my job. Sorry for rant also remove if drug talk is not allowed.
