My stutter varies in intensity and severity. From passing for fluent, to blocks and repetitions with facial twitching. I'll usually finish my sentences unless im interrupted and asked to repeat myself...

I'm passing as fluent to the point that the average person can't tell. My speech has varied throughout my life. From blocks, repetitions, and full blown tracheal spasms, to where I am now. Speech ther...

:( was at a therapy session yesterday (I've got a handful of challenges: ADHD, OCD, GAD, Dyslexia and, yup... Stutter!). Explained that exact thing! Navigating words that just won't come out - chan...

Sometimes I feel Stuttering is just a way to run away from speaking situations....

Speaking less, so I think more and notice more changes in the environment. I often attribute my academic success on math and computer science to my stutter....

For me I started training myself at the age of 14 . Speaking slowly helped me. Not Rushing  in speaking with others was the key to stop it. Although I still stammer at some words but that's very rare ...

I am diagnosed with ADHD and I've been on Vyvanse for years. I wouldn't say that the medication specifically helped with my stutter, but treating and managing my ADHD in general has greatly reduced st...

True… but the thing is giving a smooth presentation matters to me so much that I wanna do it organically. I know it’s not a healthy mindset but I will consider beta blockers in the future....

Yep, Beta blockers at only taken as needed, prior to a stressful speaking event such as presentations or interviews etc.. it’s not a daily meditation like a SSRI....

Propranolol should be taken at least 1-2 hours before any stressful speaking scenario. That’s when it’s at the highest effect in the brain… 20 minutes is not enough....

actually, I used propranolol + nicotine pouch 20 min just before the interview this week. Absolute disaster. I might have to look into the tongat Ali though...

Thanks for sharing your story. Have you tried a Beta blocker for stressful speaking situations? Essentially it blocks adrenaline so you don’t feel the physiological effects of anxiety (elevated hear...

Look into anti-anxiety medication and a Beta Blocker for those public speaking situations. Then you need to focus on fluency shaping techniques whilst addressing the anxiety around your stutter. Als...

Might not be random but I avoid phone calls like the plague. I stutter much worse on the phone than when speaking to someone face to face for some reason. Usually every time I have a block and hang up...

Oh that's really smart I never thought of that, but how does it work when the prof doesn't know you?...

Unfortunately the same, that's the thing I'm scared of the most. I started asking the teachers to let me skip it, trying everything I can so I don't have to participate. I participated in a research ...
