Hi. Anti-anxiety medication has been helpful for some people who stutter. As you know, Xanax, like all the benzodiazepines, are addictive. They really cannot be used full time because you will, within a very short time (weeks, a month, two months) build a tolerance and then have to increase the dose to get the same effect, spiraling into oblivion. So......they can potentially be useful for occasional situations -- presentations, interviews, OR occasional use in conjunction with either an anti-depressant or an anti-psychotic used as an anti-anxiety agent. Maybe this is what you referred to when you say "such as a mixture of Xanax and others"? Now....these are hardcore drugs. All of them. They may have side effects that you cannot or do not want to live with. Or they may simply not work. But, in my opinion, it is not unreasonable to try, especially at your age and if you've tried many other things. There is no reason a psychiatrist (you want a psychiatrist who really knows these drugs, not a primary care practitioner who will not know them nearly as well), would not believe that you have stutter-related anxiety. Well......OK. There's not a *competent reasonable* psychiatrist who would not believe you. True, they may, probably will, ask you a ton of questions about yourself and what you've tried (speech therapy, etc.) in the past. They may be reluctant to try one of these drugs with you? Or they may think it's a reasonable idea. Depends on their attitude, how they see your situation -- lots of factors. BUT there's no reason they should jump to the suspicious or cynical conclusion that you just want to use the drugs recreationally. It is true that many psychiatrists don't have a deep understanding of the profound effects of stuttering, but most should know enough to know you're not concocting this story -- plus faking a stutter! -- to get Xanax or a psychiatric drug. >I also saw a study about there not being enough blood flow to a certain part of the brain and the less blood, the more severe the stutter. Any idea how that could possibly be fixed if at all? I've seen this study too. So far, these finding are still only more evidence that stuttering is neurological/brain function-related. Though the decreased blood flow is definitely new information, I don't believe they are at the point of being able to "fix" it. **: (**
