Perhaps i should complement my remark by saying to avoid using *non-prescribed* drugs without guidance from a health professional (assuming this i also the case with Tourette's and CP). I'm all for s...

As someone who has used drugs for over a decade, trust me and slow down brother. Don't let it take a tragedy for you to see that it's not sustainable to go that route. You can safely use most drugs fo...

Thing is, if it does help, you can really only take it occasionally because benzodiazapines, the group of drugs Xanax is in, are habit-forming. If you start taking it every day, soon you will need m...

From experience, kind of yeah. Not that what you say is as cohesively thought out, but yeah, I'd be lying if I said I didn't talk with more ease while on it. Also from experience, don't fuck with Xa...

fapping has no kind of correlation to stuttering. I do agree that it's not really a good thing to do, but if you want to jerk yourself, then whatever....

I didn't jerk off for about 2 months (during conscription) and I didn't feel any difference. No fap is just a bunch of nonsense tbh and if you do feel any different it's just a placebo effect....

Honestly, I'm almost completely sure Nofap is just a meme since the "science" behind it is pretty much nonexistent. Oh, and I've gone months without fapping (unrelated to Nofap) and barely experienced...

To clarify what I meant here: Masturbation does not *cause* stuttering, like it does not cause hair to grow on your palms. As far as the possibility that cutting out masturbation (especially compulsi...

Well, second generation antipsychotics are already used for a whole bunch of off-label conditions, for better or for worse. Most researchers believe that extrapyramidal side effects are much less lik...

I don't care how bad my stutter is. You will have a really hard time convincing me to take a second-generation antipsychotic in the absence of a psychiatric disorder. The weight gain and potential ris...

Hi. The trouble with benzodiazepines (Xanax, etc.) is that if they help, they work poorly if used regularly long term. That is because they are habit-forming and you need more and more over time to g...

For me, Xannax lessened my stutter. I thought it really helped. But I would drink a lot and you are not supposed to do that. I also didn't like the side effects of Xannax. I often felt depressed and d...

Yeah, interesting. You're a covert stutterer. All of the success, high-bar setting you're talking about, is dependent, or you feel it's dependent, on you hiding your stutter. I don't think it's h...
