Hello Maria, There are a few trials with medications that block dopamine activity. These medications can be of some help, but are associated with adverse effects that do not lend to cavalier use. For example, Tourette syndrome is thought to have a similar pathology to stuttering as it relates to the brain processes involved. And, a dopamine antagonist, haloperidol is a FDA approved treatment – though is rarely used secondary to its side effect profile.
