I’ve never taken Valium, but my sense is that it is very strong and not to be taken often. I have two friends who were prescribed Valium for fear of flying. Both said they were basically unable to fun...

I have a prescription that I use as needed. I think it’s helpful for generalized anxiety but it’s not a miracle cure. I find it helpful to take the edge off when I begin to get wound up. I would warn...

Not a doctor... thanks for this. No doctor I their right mind would give anyone a benzo for performance anxiety or stuttering or as a first line first time drug for anything. Also I guarantee that if ...

Thanks for being careful about this. There are a lot of desperate people who self-medicate and just look for anything to try out....

All I can say is be careful. Paroxetine causes low libido and benzos are very addictive. I have patients on heavy benzos and they find it really hard to get off them....

I don’t know if I should answer this because I don’t want to be giving medical advice. But the med didn’t help the stuttering per se, it was an anxiolytic that helped with anxiety and panic which in a...

Im on Lexapro and Diazepam for my stutter. Lexapro and Paxil both helped my stuttering immensely. I switched to Lexapro because sexual problems with Paxil. Diazepam is a wonderdrug for stuttering but...

Agreed. Just thought I'd point this out for anyone who talks on the phone for extended lengths of time on a regular basis....

Thank you for your remark and this is a good point. From vocal health perspective, if someone uses a whisper as their habitual voice use pattern, it may induce hyperfunctional voice disorders, i.e., i...

Great app idea! It's worth mentioning that whispering is hard on the voice, and doing it a lot can lead to vocal dysfunction. Whether or not it's worth the risk is totally up to the individual, but it...

I’m actually doing a lil drug adventure/research/cry for help starting the first week of February. I’m in the process of cleaning my body right now. These are the chems I’m trying out for my stutter a...

i can only speak for my own experience, but i felt VERY tense and anxious the first week, to the extent that on the worst day i couldn't talk to anyone and had to leave college early. I mean the libid...

Do you have sources? I am not claiming MDMA cannot have legitimate uses. I am just saying there is risk. There are many sources documenting neuro toxicity. For example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.g...

Hi! Thanks for your reply. I have had the same Dr since I was almost a child, she knows my Journey with stuttering. We have a very open discussion about medications and have developed a very good rela...

Im sorry but whats wrong with you? What do you want? I HAVE WITHDRAWN FROM BENZODIAZEPINES BEFORE. I took 8mg of Xanax and 40mg Valium a day for 4 years straight. I know exactly what the toll of a...

What are you even mumbling about, Diazepam is a sedating medication. I ate Xanax for several years a long time ago along with Klonopin. I went throu hell. I work in psychiatry, close hand to Benzos....

This is interesting. I haven't experimented with drugs for this, but my anxiety isn't too bad to begin with. I'm glad you're working with your doctor. You're more likely to get safer meds working with...

whooops, edited something but must have not saved the edit. It is great for stuttering, also not as addictive as e.g. benzodiazepines. I remember reading a study that concluded pagoclone to be the bes...

It's a slippery slope. It's very easy to justify taking it everyday till one day you need it. Then the help it causes goes away. Withdrawal can last from months to years depended on how long you've ta...

Yes definitely. It kinda sucks I cant be myself 100% but it's the cards I was dealt in life. It has made me more of a humble kind of person. When I discovered benzos gave me the ability to not care ab...
