I overly prepare and it helps me a lot. I also tend to be more bubbly and talk with my hands and I think it helps take my focus away from what I’m saying. If I know I can’t say a word like “engineerin...

My girlfriend is experiencing the same thing. It started on Tuesday and got worse on Wednesday and has since plateaued but gets worse when she’s tired. MRI, CT and bloods are all clear. Doctors said i...

Antidepressants didn't help, benzos took away the anxiety but didn't improve speech, lamotrigine didn't help, pregabalin worked awesome for anxiety but didn't improve speech, antipsychotics didn't hel...

I'm in a very similar situation. I developed a late-onset stutter in adulthood about three/four years ago, with no neurological cause found, so it's likely psychogenic. In my case it was progressive,...

Depends they work for some & not for others. I personally wouldn’t recommend it. It’s just a band aid, if they do work for you it’ll be temporary until your Brain gets used to them. Just takes practic...

I think we stutter only in beta brain wave

I think we stutter only in beta brain wave In alpha or theta wave, we are more grounded and thoughts just go with flow slow. I think building a lifestyle that encourages to be relaxed and live slow is...

Move to decaf if you want that taste. That’s what I did because I couldn’t go cold turkey too. Decaf has a tiny bit of caffeine…. Maybe 97% less than caffeinated coffee. Now I tend to drink more herb...

I went through this a few months back too and realised my daily coffee and sugary drinks/food was exacerbating my stuttering. Once I abstained from those substances, my fluency improved a lot. I was...

Yep, lack of quality sleep really messes with speech motor timing the next day due to fatigue, brain fog etc... We must get quality sleep for best fluency because lack of energy weakens the prefronta...

I also handled stress extremely well, calm in a crisis, patience of a saint... Then BAM, I stuttered! I believe my nervous system hit breaking point, and I had burnt out from a highly stressful job, s...

This happened to me too. It got so bad it was suspected I'd had a stroke. MRI's and CT's showed no neurological issues. It was deemed psychogenic. Have you been under a lot of stress? Mine has since i...

no stuttering doesn't always happen because I'm nervous sometimes it happens because I'm very tired and heavy and can't do anything,this mental state (don't know its name) is cured a little bit after ...
