Hi, you have presented evidence that some drugs reduce stuttering symptoms. I would like to comment on why do you think this is the case. Are they reducing an imbalance in neurotransmitter systems which are linked to speech performance. Or are they reducing secondary effects that often significantly aggravate stuttering, like increased tension, avoidance, panic, fear, speaking too fast etc?
