Hello Klaas, I apologize for the anonymous post. I forgot to add my name to the previous post. The association with these medications and stuttering is well-established clinically and is understood from a physiological standpoint point as they increase the dopaminergic activity in the brain. This phenomenon is also observed in Tourette syndrome with the increase in tics with these medications. It’s difficult to make the same association with cluttering, as it’s not as nearly an established clinical entity as stuttering - which doesn’t allow an easy comparison with the medication.
