This is kinda mind blowing for me because I went vegan in 2023 and I feel like that’s when I gained more control of my stutter. It’s still there but I have more power over it. I never thought about a ...

You're not alone here. My speech has greatly improved on a whole foods plant based diet when nothing else has really worked. For me it's dairy and meat that impact my speech. I do think there is a con...

Carbs and sugar definitely effect my speech, so I try and limit them...there is a link to dopamine, so figured that was the connection. Never tried cutting out dairy....

What If Your Food Is Causing Your Stutter?

What If Your Food Is Causing Your Stutter? I’ve had a stutter since I was 9 years old. Now I’m 30. Honestly, I don’t know the real reason why it started. I went to many speech therapists. I tried ...

As an experiment today, I consumed a Snickers bar, a Lemon Ice Tea, and then indulged in a sugary lemon soda soft drink an hour later. For the next few hours, I found my fluency was adversely affect...

ashwagandha is literally a cheat code for this stuff. i use tribe organics ksm-66 and the quality is honestly way better than whatever you get at the grocery store....

I’m very hopefully for this 4 years that are coming.

I’m very hopefully for this 4 years that are coming. Lately I’ve been following research around drugs like ecopipam, PDE10A inhibitors, and other dopamine-related treatments. I know nothing is approve...

Yesterday I was stuttering a bunch like I always do. Every other word or sentence, the usual. Bought some magnesium glycinate then went to bed. Woke up and did my practice monologues and I didn't stu...

I'm not OP, but for me eating a whole foods plant based diet with no added sugar has helped out my stutter a lot. The no added sugar part is very challenging, but my chronic health issues pushed me in...

I found caffeine and sugary foods/beverages made my stutter worse on the day, and even into the following day. As soon as I quit caffeine and all the sugary crap, my fluency improved....

I have a pretty similar experience. For reasons unknown, my speech is heavily related to how I eat. It's been the only thing to help my speech. ...

I find it's pretty often related to my diet....more carbs and/or junk food = bad speaking day (the next day). There is a dopamine connection there....

I wish Lexapro or Zoloft had helped mine, but sadly no. Benzos are not good taken daily longterm, but it's my only option for anxiety relief, and the stutter improvement has been such a bonus....

The only thing that reduced my stutter by 80% or more has been daily anti-anxiety meds (in my case, Klonopin). Of course, this is REALLY not ideal, but it's much better than nothing....

I admit Cymbalta helps my stutter a lot. When I went off of it due to sleepiness after years of being on it, my stutter has returned with a vengeance....

They are preparing their Phase 3 study. Give it time. As a side note, I was previously in a pagoclone study over a decade ago which didn't do shit....

Dopamine antagonists only helps a subset of stutterers, whilst dopamine agonists help another subset (like ppl with ADHD and a stutter due to a lower dopaminergic baseline)....

The phase 2 double blind placebo controlled study didn’t have a large enough group effect, it helped a subset of people who stutter but it wasn’t enough to lead to a phase 3, this is why there’s been ...

It’s not necessarily a funding issue, the response rates in the phase 2 were just underwhelming. It still helped a subset but the group effect just wasn’t enough. There is however a problem with the w...

Some ADHD medications (Vyvanse, Ritalin etc) can help some ppl and some dopamine antagonists (Risperidone, Ecopipam etc) can help others achieve better fluency. There are no FDA approved meds for stu...
