I know exactly how you feel and what you mean. My brother used a tonne of weed and drugs because he was depressed over his severe stutter too. It eventually killed him when he got into the harder stuf...

I’m in IT and the number of meetings has increased exponentially over the years. I’ve gotten use to them now so it’s kind of desensitised me to daily meetings. I use to have to psych myself up for the...

The neurotransmitters in our brain fires differently (hyperactivity or underactively) compared to a non-stuttering brain. This can be genetic, or in rare cases, from an acquired/traumatic brain injury...

Zoloft / Sertraline boosts dopamine slightly, not as much as Prozac does. Prozac also boosts norepinephrine too. It’s really just trial and error to see which one works better for you as we are all d...

As a speech pathologist who has an expertise in brain based teaching I spent years researching as to why I stutter and a fluent speaker doesn’t. I looked mainly at two different research papers. One w...

yes .I stuttered severely. seek a specialist in stuttering. I got help and barely stutter anymore. My dad stuttered too. Sometimes frustration can make it worse....

I studied the speech of fluent speakers to find out why they don’t stutter. I found it has to do with easy and continuous airflow through the vocal cords. I found that you tend to stutter when you act...

You are welcome to your opinion. You may be one who chooses to continue to stutter because you were told there is no way to overcome your stuttering. You will just learn to deal with it. I could not d...

I went from stuttering on most words to now almost no stutter at all.  Even when i have the rare shutter its not embarrassing or ackword anymore because i can control it very well and soon it will b...

This is a terrible advice, and outlook! Your brain isn’t faulty. Stuttering is psychological issue and can be cured, or at-least kept in check. I used to stutter so heavily I could not speak to st...

That lines up with my experience, sleep quality makes a massive difference and when it’s off everything feels harder cognitively. I’ve noticed supplements only help when the basics like sleep are dial...

Found out by accident that vitamin E helped me a huge amount. But only for a day or so- like a magic pill in my case. But then my stutter was so much worse for a week, give or take. Always found thi...

100% agree. It’s incredible how badly sleep deprivation can affect our stutter....

Of course they do, those hormones are the backbone of women’s health, with direct effects on serotonin, dopamine, amygdala reactivity and prefrontal cortex which are all heavily involved in the stutte...

What percentage improvement has it had? Perhaps it's a placebo effect because those medications have no effect on the brain....

As a woman, birth control pill (think of them as oestrogen and progestin hormones supplements) and spironolactone (for lowering testosterone levels) definitely improve my fluency by decreasing overall...

Generally, when I have a week of excellent sleep, sleeping 8 or 9 hours and consuming 500mg of caffeine, I hardly stutter at all. But when I'm sleep-deprived, my brain simply doesn't work, and I stutt...

Do you stutter when you cuss?

Do you stutter when you cuss? Do you stutter when you cuss/curse? I feel like that’s when I’m the most fluent. It’s like my body KNOWS I have to get it right or it’s fr over 😂😂 (I find most of the ...

Sure, I'll elaborate. First, this isn't a cure for me. It just improves my fluency. I noticed spontaneous improvements a few years ago when my health issues at that time were severe enough that solvin...

I would definitely like to know about this! What foods/ diets did you notice have the significant affect? Both worsening and improving? What is you current diet? Im in a food related field so I am ver...
