Hi Ora, I worked with Gerald and Dave in the past at UCI, but am not familiar with what they are offering at UCI now. I’m sure they would be receptive to a query. There are no FDA approved medications for stuttering, so they would be offering off-label treatment. Offering off-label treatment is within the standard of care, and I’ve used Serotonin-dopamine antagonists for some patients in my practice who stutter severely and demonstrate a response. Treating such patients can be complicated do to the side effect profile with these medications, but it is navigable.
