Not Adderall but I had that experience on Wellbutrin. Not worth the benefits, imo, as the day would be over and had no recollection of the events that day. I guess it depends on the severity of your...

I've noticed this as well. After the first half bowl or so, I think my fluency gets way better, but by the time the bowl is finished or after a second bowl, I tend to block a bit more. On top of that...

My stutter has gotten worse this year but I've also been getting crazy headaches. I feel like I might have some worms in my brain, some type of parasite. I've taken advil and excedrin but still feel t...

I've tried several drugs (mostly recreational). Of all the drugs I've tried, I've noticed these seem to have some effect (probably just a placebo): cannabis, kava root, alprazolam (xanax). The latte...

Longterm it stops working for most. The brain seems to adept to the distraction the DAF provides. Which leads to many expensive SpeechEasy devices that costed €3000 collecting dust now....

Yeah I long ago accepted my stutter and didn't expect this effect from the medication at all. Just to clarify, Guanfacine is an alpha blocker and not a beta blocker. It could cause a spike in blood p...
