Cure for stuttering.?
March 14th, 2010 | 
Author: Ok so I stutter. It’s always been on and off. I got a new job at dominos and it’s gotten pretty bad. The job is really stressful I have to do alot of fast talking and multitasking. Mine is mainly repetition but lately i’ve even starting getting blocks in my speech!
There’s no way my boyfriend couldn’t notice..he doesn’t say anything..
Anyway, a solution please?

"Self Therapy for the Stutterer" published by The Stuttering Foundation of America worked wonders for my family members who stuttered after working through it step by step. The book can be found here http://www.stutteringhelp.org/Portals/English/Book_0012_tenth_ed.pdf
Some medications that other stutterers have tried include lorazepam, citalopram, celexa, and buspar. Ask your doctor about trying an anti-anxiety medication while you are working on your stuttering. Be aware that your stuttering may be better than the side-effects of the medication, though.
Each stutterer is different, and a therapist who specializes in treating stuttering will be able to determine what will help you the most as they work with you.
The Foundation also has a list of speech therapists who have been trained to work with stutterers
My uncles who stuttered said that they stuttered worse when they tried NOT to stutter, when they were under stress, and when they were very tired. Try concentrating on what you are saying rather than how you are talking, eliminating as much stress from your life as you can, getting plenty of rest, plus working on your speech using a therapist, the self therapy book, or watching The Stuttering Foundation’s videos and using the things you learn every day.

I start stuttering when I am under stress or get nervous, it’s just you, you should be proud, I am lol. But I am sure there are ways of helping you.

There is no solution for stuttering. How about you process what you’re going to say before you say it, or speak a little slower. I know you don’t have too much time but it helps. I’m a waitress and sometimes I blurt things out, say them the wrong way, and stutter like crazy, but slowing down and relaxing a little really helps. High demand sucks but if you make a mental list of things to do, it helps a TON with stress and dealing with high demand. This is a new job for you. Your stuttering will flatten out.

Well, there is no "cure". Your best bet is to see a good Speech Language Pathologist (try to find one who has BRS-FD after their name, it stands for Board Recognized Specialist in Fluency Disorders). It will be a lot of work and generally adults who stutter never become naturally fluent, but many of them can become much more relaxed in their speech and can be fluent in many situations as long as they use the techniques they learn and practice.

It will help if you deliberately speak very slowly and kind of rhythmically. Practice at home and then the next time you are at work and see if that helps. (see the article below for detailed explanation of what to do) Changing the speed of your speech changes something about the way your brain is functioning in that area. A speech therapist can teach you that technique or you can just practice it yourself. Keep in mind that over time you will adapt to that and you may begin stuttering again. So you could change it up a little and only speak very slowly during times when you have the most trouble. People will not notice, however once I learned that stutters do that, it does stand out to me. Simply "trying harder" will not fix it. There is literally something happening in your brain that interferes with your speech so try to go easy on yourself. Getting mad at yourself or stressing about it will only make it worse. Building self-confidence and self-relaxation techniques is a big step.
