I recently went to a doctor for my anxiety, brought on by stuttering or the thought of having to talk, etc. I can say that the anti anxiety meds really do help. Even if I stutter that gut wrenching fe...

Not super experienced with medication for stuttering. I have a Xanax prescription for anxiety, but only take it when I am really getting out of my comfort zone. I wouldn’t ever recommend taking a d...

Anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds can help to alleviate distressing emotions for a while but they won't tackle the root causes. That takes a lot of effort, courage, introspection and some form of...

My experience with antianxiety meds is that they generally do numb me out to an extent and take some of the wildness out of life. Fluvoxamine has worked the best for me and I've taken it for a long ti...

>I am 23 yo man and have **blocks** (and facial tics) since I can remember. I don't know what I can do about it Many stutterers view the stutter cycle as such: Anticipatory anxiety > compulsiv...

Thank you! You said 'social anxiety' and 'fear'. Let's call this: probability/evaluation of a stutter. Then the next question is, if perceiving stresses (by blaming the probability/evaluation of a stu...

I’m going to assume you come from a culture where it’s taboo for someone like you to acknowledge experiencing fear in a non-dangerous situation. Regardless, you are creating extremely complex workar...
