In a way , you have a point bro because some meds work case by case. Mines neurological developmental stuttering so it might work. If not after 2 months, I'll stop and wait for Ecopipam ...

I'm 26 bro. But 0.5 mg dose is a light dose and it's safe. I'm only testing it for about 2 months. If no improvement then I'll stop....

Good point bro. 0.5mg is a low and safe dose. I've even checked sources from many sites even Chatgbt. Olanzapine has some heavy side effects like weight gain, so I'm lucky I was prescribed Risperidone...

And what dose were you taking ?  According to what I read on the internet, 0.5mg is probably safe , that's why I started low just to test it. If it doesn't work after about 2 months I will stop and ...

Linking one paper isn't gonna help at all. I bet you just searched it up to disprove me. Theres no cure or a drug for stuttering. The general medical consensus is that Risperidone doesn't help grea...

I used it in the past and stopped because it had negative effects. I felt disconnected from the outside world :) AI suggests gabapentin for my profile, but I haven’t tried it. Abilify might have few...

First you say "Insulin doesn't cause any harm." Now that confronted with evidence to the contrary, you state "every drug has an obscure side effect" You're dishonest and not worth my time. Nothing yo...

Every drug has an obscure side effect that's fatal. Stop comparing things like that. What's the proportion of side effects amount regular people. I think diabetes medications don't have that many seri...

I'm not fear mongering, buddy. Maybe I'm saying things you don't want to hear. Insulin doesn't cause any harm. Other diabetes medications do not cause severe side effects like psychotropic substances...

So you've reduced yourself to fear mongering, you really should be ashamed of yourself. Let's switch the argument to diabetes medications. If people with diabetes take a dose way too high then devas...

Risperidone and ecopipam have different mechanisms so there is no comparison there. You state: "For the average anxiety induced stutter it won't really change that much" That's not a claim that yo...
