I heard Abilify actually takes 2-4 weeks or potentially even months before it reaches its full effect. I am also trialing Abilify currently taking 2mg as well. Been taking it for a week and main side ...

Did you find it helped your speech long term? I also started taking Abilify recently(1 week ago, 2mg as well) and I am still testing to see if it actually works or its just placebo. It does definitely...

Interesting article. I’m not sure I’d be willing to take 120mg of this stuff as it can make you extremely drowsy. I find the sweet spot for me is 20mg without feeling drowsy/sleepy. I tried 30mg and...

Hard to gauge as I’m doing other things at the same time, such as cutting out caffeine and sugars and taking a vitamin nootropic stack plus a SSRI. I’m now at around 95% fluency. I only take a beta bl...

Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences. I am glad to hear that you experienced such a positive improvement after finding the right medications. Are you currently taking all these medicat...

Hi, look, I'll tell you what my experience is, basically I had a very strong stutter and I tried various speech therapy courses, they helped me but not much. When I discovered psychotropic drugs 5 yea...

Gabapentin might help in several ways: 1. Reduces neural over-excitability → smoother signal flow in speech-motor networks. 2. Calms autonomic arousal → lowers the internal “pressure” that can trigg...

Phenibut floods the brain with inhibitory GABA signaling and temporarily suppresses overactive stress or motor circuits — similar to alcohol or benzodiazepines. So yes, fluency can improve for a few ...

Be extremely careful. I know you didn’t ask for it, but my advice would be not to take it at all. You already mentioned the addictive nature of it. But since it is unregulated, you may not know what e...

Maguire had recommended it, but it can cause dependence or tolerance. It is a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogue. Gabapentin reflects the effects of GABA, which calms overexcited neurons....

I used it years ago, but it had a bad effect on me. It felt strange, as if I was lost when I was outside. Be careful. Also, it wasn’t effective....

Hi, I also stuttered my whole life and didn’t notice any change in my stutter with TMJ, so I get that they’re not directly linked. That said, chronic tension from stuttering and facial habits over ti...

Hi, I know I’m 3 years late to the party. I was just diagnosed with TMD and I’ve had a stutter for almost 30 years, so I can relate. My jaw pain started suddenly and was confusing at first — I though...

I think the medical term is something like performance anxiety which is basically stage fright. The conversation with my doctor was explicitly about impacts due to stuttering. Benzos have a ton ...

Yep. Works wonders for me. Been a stutter-er my entire life & benzos feel like the cheat code to stuttering & the anxiety that comes with it. But, I mean, there’s problems with that. If you feel you h...

Diazepam helped a lot. But this is NOT a solution and it will be a problem. Benzos are dangerous and should only be used in emergency situations...

It helped my anxiety but the stutter was the same. Just watch out. Its hell coming off them. The week after I stopped taking them, I have never felt mentally worse....

For me, it's mostly sleep and the winds of magic that dictate my speech. But I could sleep amazingly and wake up with incompetent speech. It's probably too close for you to start experimenting like ...

Has anyone here tried benzodiazepines (e.g., Alprazolam) for stuttering or speech anxiety?

Has anyone here tried benzodiazepines (e.g., Alprazolam) for stuttering or speech anxiety? Hello everyone, I’ve been dealing with stuttering for several years and have explored multiple approaches to...
