I had bad muscle spasms and stuttering. I was put on benztropine which put the bad spasms and stuttering to a slower pace. I was taken off that medicine by my regualar doctor because of what it did to my eyesight. I only get mild ticks and spasms thruout the day and only stutter at times. I still have a constant shaking in my left hand which i did not have before. I also have head pressure on my left temple that will not go away.
If so, would this explain my cog issues, and memory, stuttering etc. Problem is, when I saw this dr, I had no cog issues only tremors, no stuttering or vertigo, or ON, all that started like 1 month later, one sx after another. What do you think. Is someone stupid here or what? Or am I overreacting?
I'm 27 yrs old & wondering if it's too late for speech therapy because of my age. I stutter sometimes & can't pronounce some words well. Like it's hard to make it come out. Feels like it's getting worse each passing year. When I was younger, I know I spoke better. Wasn't as bad like now. Thinking about speech therapy.
I am 16 years-old and have been stuttering for pratically all my life. I have been to a speech therapist for about 5 years but when i turned 15 she said that she can't help me aymore and I really have to push myself if Iwant my speech to get better. My parents told me that I got hit by a swing in the head at about 4 years old and it was an inch away from my eye. Ive been stuttering a lot lately and my head hurts(headaches). Does anybody have any advice or suggestions?
My 3.5 yr. old son has begun stuttering. For a long time now (about 6 months or so) he's been repeating words, but I haven't been too concerned about this. However, over the last week or so, he struggles to get the first few letters out. For instance, he'll ask "wwwwwhhhere's the dog?". And I've noticed it often involves the "what", "where", and "why" questions. It doesn't happen all the time.
I first stuttered last year, never in my life had i ever had difficulty communicating, i'm a talker lol. I also lost all my nouns, very weird to not be able to name anything or anyone. it was alarming and confusing to just suddenly start walking like a drunk string puppet, not knowing what something i've known for ever was called and on top of that stuttering and slurring the words i did find.
The clinical presentation of stroke-associated stuttering is variable and it is important to rule out neurogenic stuttering which typically appears following some sort of injury or disease to the central nervous system such as with stroke. For proper evaluation, it is best that you discuss this with your attending physician or your speech-language pathologist. Treatment will depend on the underlying issue.
Our younger son and both his children stuttered a bit when they reached three years of age. It can be a sign of nervousness or anxiousness or even the fact that the brain is working faster than the mouth. Our son and granddaughter stopped stuttering after about six months; it was almost a year before our grandson stopped this behaviour (he is a bit more anxious than his sister or father).
So, I suspect your son might be similar in his behaviour.
And, yes, I have noticed some stuttering, but mostly when I am excited about something and try to talk too fast. I have been on these meds for about a month, and I do see the stuttering becoming less and less. For me, I think it is just part of my body adjusting to the new mix, and that it will go away. All I can tell you is that maybe the same will happen for you, and if not and it's really bothersome, go back to your doctor.
Are you referring to stuttering? If so, it might ease your worries to know that both our son and granddaughter stuttered for a few months at about the age of your daughter. I think it has to do with the anxiety of growing up and leaving Mom for short periods of time - as school, sports, other activities, etc.
Has any one ever come across speech difficulty, either slurred or stuttering speech, along with migraines? I have done research on the subject and have come up with the slurred speech issue with migraines but not stuttering and i'm trying to help my twin with her migraines and speech difficulties from ending her career.
My certified speech language pathologist after a year of visiting has no idea what I have, but at the end was treating me for Adductor spasmodic dysphonia, and tells me there’s no way I have Aphasia because I’m able to write.
I was transferred to the SLP after I was appointed to the Stuttering Center, where they had no idea what I had.
I’ve been told by a doctor I have a psychosomatic disorder. I've been told everything.
My son is Stuttering, grinding his teeth when sleeping and making funny throat noises. Is there an underlying issue here? He is active in sports, and does very well academically . Should I be seeking further medical help for him or have him checked out by our doctor?
I have been on lexapro for about 5 months.I take it for anxiety. I have really loved the results! I have had a couple moments when I have got really ditzy and confused. That kinda freaks me out! It is definetely from the medication just simply because I know myself. I'm wondering if it can cause brain damage or if there are any long term effects in the brain?
Are sudden onset of stuttering and forgetfulness of proper words to use when speaking a sign of a mild stroke?
And what about sudden onset of short term memory issues.

I was unconscious for about half an hour and gained consciousness only to realize I had developed a stutter. I went to the ER, had a full work up and was kept for 3 days. All tests came back negative. There is no visible brain bleed, or swelling, no visible damage. Nothing. No answer to why I had a stutter. After 2 & 1/2 weeks my stutter went away. On 01/03/2018 I woke up with the worst headache of my life, and my stutter was back.
I took Lexapro for several years with excellent results for depression and anxiety. It takes 4-6 weeks for medications like Lexapro to reach a therapeutic level in your system. Xanax is a fast acting anxiety medication which you take on an as needed basis. They work in different ways. Be patient, you will know when it kicks in. Take care.
