Self-medicating is very dangerous. The NIH has been doing the proper clinical trials of various drugs and looking at proper dosages and safety issues. As I understand it, the results so far have not been promising. Unfortunately, there are desperate people out there looking for the shortcut, the pink pill. People spend thousands of dollars for distractor devices. While certain powerful drugs may be useful for conditions far worse than stuttering, their use for our problem should not be based on anecdotal accounts.
