Oh man that's not good to hear...so I take it the medication didn't really help with fluency that much? I am also on a low dose of Abilify (2mg) and it seems to be hit or miss with potential improveme...

This Dopamine relation to stuttering needs to stop. It's been debunked among alot of people. SOME seems to do well with neuroleptics etc and dopamine reduction stuff but imo it's a minority. If I pop...

Some also say that abilify doesn't do anything to their stuttering. And compared to ritaline it's not a viable long terme solution...

There’s currently no clinical consensus that exercise worsens stuttering. Only limited anecdotal reports and a few small studies suggest that some individuals might experience temporary increases in d...

Oh my God, my story is exactly the same! I'm even the same age. I started stuttering when I was 3 or 4, but it was mild and didn't affect my life much, to be honest. But when I turned 14, my stutterin...

Upping the dose might work later on, but the side effects will become stronger. As your doctor about cycling between Risperidone and Abilify when you feel Risperidone isn’t helping you as much anymor...
