I do since nine months a treatment of the stuttering with Olanzapine. With a good result. Olanzapine is an antagonist of serotonine and dopamine. The dopamine hypothesis of stuttering under consideration states that adults who stutter, as a group, have excessive dopamine in the striatal regions of the brain. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders instructed a study for the Pre- and Post-Synaptic Dopamine Function in Developmental Stuttering: "Assessment of Pre- and Post-Synaptic Dopamine Function in Developmental Stuttering Using 11C-Raclopride and Positron Emission Tomography". They know already results of this research? There will be a FDA - permission in next time? The best greetings from germany! Holger Stenzel
