I would like to know how many of you think stuttering may be caused by a chemical imbalance affecting neurotransmitters ie. Dopamine. In my own research the common thread of high levels Dopamine was present. With the help of propranolol and other medication, my stuttering has totally disappeared. I never would have found the proper medication had I not made the link with Dopamine. I am not sure if this is a rare situation or if in fact research is being done to further explore the Dopamine connection. Thank you for your reply. PS. I am by no means a scholar on the subject but just a lucky soul who found my own cure after searching for 20 years.
