Let’s start a new thread for input from those of us in the Pagoclone Study. For info on the study, Google: Pagoclone stutter
I completed the first 5 week double blind part, and I am pretty sure that I was on the placebo. Just finished 2 weeks on the open label part II, knowing that I was getting .30 mg of Pagoclone. Within 3 days I felt I was more fluent and family and friends commented on a change.
My dosage was increased to a .60 mg dose 4 days ago, and I notice even more improvement. I still stutter on the bug-a-boo words like my name, but blocks are easy and short. I am fluent in general conversation, and I don’t think/worry about how I am going to speak. I have not noticed any negative side effects.
There is some good science behind this stuff. There is strong indication that those who stutter have inappropriate right brain involvement in the speech process. Pagoclone seems to address this.
More study is needed, of course. But I would encourage anyone to keep up with developments on Pagoclone.
Would any other participants care to comment?
