A lot of things "cure" a lot of individuals and there are stutters that have stopped of their own accord and there have also been those that away on their own for as years only to return later on down the road.

A reliable and safe cure for stuttering would be important enough to make it onto the 6 o'clock news.

I did a search for propanolol on this forums and came up with 3 older threads about it if anybody is interested in the 's experiences

[Vermillion]

I tried it, had no effect on my speech

[Vermillion]

However, I was taking low doses,

you should give it a shot to see how it affects your speech, you never know, it worked for the guy in the article and it doesn't sound like hes bullshitting either. Buspar is a little expensive though.

anyone of you who have tried zyprexa...

becoz am just really curious with this drug since that Dr. Maguire uses this as what i have read in some articles here in net..

i mean... he's a doctor.. he knows the mechanism or action of certain drugs and at the same time the side effects...

which means.. he should have known which drugs would be much effective yet... friendly to human body...

you know what am sayin guys...?

and by tom.. i will look for whoever that may help to ask for some prescription coz am really willing to have a try for me to experience improvement..


anyway... does it matter if you are a severe or a mild stutterer... i mean.. if for a severe stuttere.. several drugs had worked... how about for a mild stutterer like me.. do you think it will work efficiently.. or it doesnt matter what kind of stutterer you are...?


tnx.. guys.. forum like this gives me a sort of relief...
for now atleast.. i do feel that am not alone...

I definately need to print out that article found on that link! It gives alot of hope. I have tried Buspar back in 1998 for anxiety reasons. It helped for a short time with the anxiety related to my stuttering. I have never tried it with Propananol though!

Maybe it's time to give the Buspar another go, but add Propananol to it...anything is worth a shot!

I am currently on Inderal and Effexor for depression and anxiety as I have said in many threads before already, but at the same time it may have made my stuttering far nastier. So in other words, I may be less anxious about everything in general from the current meds I'm on, but it's at the stutterings expense!!!

I definately want to ditch the Effexor and Inderal for the anxiety, and go on Propananol, and Buspar. Propananol and Buspar would not be for anxiety reasons of course, but to see if it helps me speak clearer!!!!

inderal and propanolol are the same thing, except the guy in the article used inderal LA (which lasts longer)

Dude you have asked that like 7 times already.

Zyprexa is a drug that is used to treat schizophrenia. It also has another name: Olanzapine. Yes, the drug will cure your stuttering, or help it VERY much. I know people who have been cured under the effect of it. However, this drug is very dangerous. If you don't have schizophrenia, you shouldn't be taking this stuff. This drug will really mess you up in the long run - can cause problems like tardive dyskinesia (a tic disorder) and Neuroleptic malignant syndrome. That alone should scare you away from taking this shit.
Dr. McGuire ran the risk of taking it, he knows that the drug will cause severe side effects, which is probably why hes fighting hard for pagoclone so he doesn't have to take zyprexa anymore.

What in the world is tardive dyskinesia?? What the heck is Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome??

Those are words of problems I have never heard before!! And they are very hard to pronounce for a stutter and non-stutterer.

What are those problems exactly since I have never heard of them, and why would they scare us away???

Also, I never knew Olanzapine was a synonym for Zyprexa. They are the same thing but use different names???

I guess I'll stick with looking into Propananol and Buspar. As long as they don't mess me up in the long run as the other drugs do!

But we should keep our fingers crossed for Pagaclone also....

[happy7117]

As a side note, I wonder if schizophrenia is related to our stuttering somehow????

I mean, does anyone know what Schizophrenia realy is?? I hear it alot, but am unclear of what it is??

Also if Olanzapine/Zyprexa is used for Schizophrenia, why is it even considered for stuttering???

It's like taking a wrong drug to help our stuttering, when it is used for something else.

Also if Pagaclone could be named as an official "stuttering drug", and not for anything else, I would be safe to try it.

Happy look at this, its about schizoprenia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia

I also don't think that stuttering has anything to do with schizoprenia. The drug probably works because it just happens to affect the brain to help with stuttering and also schizoprenia. A lot of drugs are used for different conditions that arent related to each other.

I am taking propranolol right now and I don't think it has any effect on my speech. I am supposed to take 10 mg's a day but i'm trying 20 mg now to see if it helps any better. For anyone else thats taken it-how much did you take of it?

Just read the article, and realized I definately do not have schizophrenia!

I red somewhere that most of the people with schizophrenia have very good orator skills (which is opposite of us stutterers) ,but according to me, that also means that it affects the center of the brain that is responsible for the speaking. Therefore this drug Zyprexa may have some effect of the stuttering beside the fact that it is used for treating schizophrenia .

Wierd... My father Developed Schizophrenia at age 20 roughly. I developed my stutter at age 2. Could they be related? IDK!!!
