I’m not saying Propanolol takes away your stutter, it only dampens the effects of adrenaline in public speaking situations. Adrenaline makes us stutter/block much more because we are so much more tens...

I would say that it usually lasts at least a day, but sometimes I notice that it lasts 2-3 days (or even a week on rare occasions) depending on the circumstances. It's hard to say because serotonin a...

Same here. So many times I notice when I'm not anxious I'm very fluent and more importantly my breathing is comfortable. Just a spotless place but when it gets dirty it comes back and I lose the train...

Anxiety causes to stuttering.

Anxiety causes to stuttering. Like 2 weeks ago I went to a doctor for being anxious due eye contacting, speaking with people closely and I thought the medicine he had prescribed would help me to desen...

Shows how relevant anxiety is to stuttering and the adage that stuttering is what you do when you try not to stutter...

Does magnesium glycinate and B1 or B6 actually impoverished speech?

Does magnesium glycinate and B1 or B6 actually impoverished speech? My stutter is in the form of blocks and I hesitate to get my words out. I’m currently taking Prozac and buspirone for anxiety issu...

not 100% true. In our childhood, particularly if you have very negative experiences, our reactions get built into our fight or flight system, and a pattern begins. Our body sends involuntary respons...

I've been stuttering pretty much since I could first talk and about 75% agree with this. Most of it is indeed linked to confidence and just in your head, but for many people there is still a physica...

Why is speaking on the phone easier for some, and harder for others?

Why is speaking on the phone easier for some, and harder for others? Some people stutter more on the phone (e.g., bcause their subconscious brain links the phone with [less disruption of executing the...

I actually agree with this, even if I don’t really like admitting it. I’ve noticed that when I take something like Valium, my stutter almost disappears. That says a lot about how much anxiety plays i...

Yep I also get bad neck pain and drool. Try doing some neck stretching exercises twice a day. What also helps me is remembering to unclench my jaw during the day. ...

I think you’re misinterpreting what I said to a great degree. I wasn’t saying stuttering comes from fear, and I wasn’t telling anyone to “fix their mindset.” I even said multiple times that not all a...

SLP here. It sounds like you're blocking frequently and getting very very tense when this happens (hence the drooling - if your muscles are tensed up they won't allow you to swallow/control the door, ...

in that case i think breathing exercises would be something that you can see benefits from! i’m not an expert at them (bc the anxiety takes over and i forget about them) but i try to use them and they...

Mine is also anxiety related because I don’t really stutter unless I’m either making phone calls to people I’ve never spoken too or just in public where I’m talking to people I’ve never met. I still s...

i personally didn’t see any positive results from speech therapy. i’m 24 now, i saw one for a little bit in high school but conveniently my stutter would practically disappear at my appointments becau...

Thanks for your advice. I am becoming more aware of tension and anxiety and working on regulating my nervous system. Do you mean physical exercice or like speaking/fluency/word retrieval exercise? T...

My personal reply #2: The above post said "*It's something about how my brain listens to itself and tries to "fix" my speech before the words even come out.*" In reply. I agree that when brainsto...

**My personal reply**: As many people (in various online forums) have stated, a stimulus (such as **loud music**) can improve or worsen stuttering, or it can have no effect. Even in the same person...

Here were the replies to above post from other people: **Reply #1:** GOSH!!! Someone who finally gets it and knows where Im coming from---f0r once!!! I experience the same thing!! Therapy techniques...
