Download Medications for Stuttering

Is there a pill that stops stuttering? Medications for Stuttering includes both studies and stutterers’ experiences to help you choose what’s right for you.

Plus the free e-book includes medications that can cause or increase stuttering (including Ritalin and anti-depressants), alcohol’s effect on stuttering, and even foods that affect stuttering.

This 17-page, easy-to-read e-book includes:

Medications To Reduce Stuttering

Two systematic reviews examined more than thirty studies of twenty pharmacological treatments for stuttering. Drugs included haloperidol (Haldol), risperidone (Risperdal), olanzapine (Zyprexa), and pagoclone. Includes two reviews by stutterers who used these medications.

Medications That Increase Stuttering

Methylphenidate (Ritalin) and SSRI anti-depressants can increase or even cause stuttering in children and adults. Includes the story of a woman whose anti-depressant medication made her stuttering worse.

Vitamins

Two studies suggest that thiamin (vitamin B-1) is effective for children and adults. Magnesium and B-complex supplements may increase the effectiveness of thiamin. Plus a double-blind study the author inadvertently did on himself, and stutterer’s examination of the neuroscience of thiamin.
