My journey as a stuttering CEO Hello community, today I would like to lament a little of my sorrow. Like you, I stutter. I would describe myself as a moderate to severe stutterer. There is no sentence in which I do not stutter. My stuttering consists mainly of silent blocks "----b-------lock" 90% at the beginning of the sentence. If I speak fluently then it is a maximum of three short words like "how are you". Briefly about my person. Im 30 y/o. son of a business family and business owner of our company. I want to finally get rid of this stuttering.... it doesn't work anymore... I have to bring our company and also my private life forward. I want to finally have long, great and intense conversations. I want to be able to captivate people with my experiences and thoughts and take them with me. ​ When do I not stutter: I never stutter when I am alone. When I'm alone in the car, driving to a business meeting, I rehearse my speech and speak like a professional speaker :D. Why doesn't it work in front of people...? When I read to my child, I also read perfectly. If I read something in a lecture... Disaster... **I will come to this phenomenon later, because here I see a healing approach** ​ What have I already done? My stuttering is hereditary. My father also stutters. Had some speech therapies in childhood. - Without success. For half a year I have been intensively researching the topic of stuttering on google. One knows quite certainly that it is neural conditioned.... ​ I came across various medications. ​ Have already taken Olanzapin. - Without success, and discontinued again. Side effects: very tired, weight gain. I recently came across the Dr. Schwartz Thiamine Protocol. Ordered Thiamine and GABA supplement and have been taking this for 1 week now. So far no noticeable results. ​ I also came across the drug Baclofen (muscle relaxant). Again briefly to the symptomatology that I do not stutter alone, then it can not be a neuralproblem in my eyes, but must come from a tension of the diaphragm. ​ Baclofen could relax this muscle and possibly help with the reflux. ​ I will start a course of baclofen in 1-2 weeks. I will be happy to report back to you. ​ Do any of you have experience with these off label uses? (Olanzapine, Thiamine and Baclofen).
