Joseph,

I'm not sure to which article you're referring. Generally speaking, there are many drugs that have been reported as helpful in single cases. To my knowledge, none have been offered up as a cure.

In my local support group, we have had people report reduced stuttering while on various medications. In some cases, however, the side effects were so bothersome that they said they'd rather stutter.

There is an on-line essay by Larry Molt that might interest you. It's available at: http://www.mankato.msus.edu/dept/comdis/isad/papers/molt.html

Good luck.

Dale
