Anti-anxiety drug as medical treatment for stuttering

By admin | Aug 15, 2007

Originally developed as an anti-anxiety drug, Pagoclone is becoming a more common treatment for stuttering. It blocks a chemical called dopamine in the brain. Research has suggested that people who stutter have an excess of dopamine in the area of the brain that controls speech timing.

It is estimated that over 3 million Americans stutter. Stuttering affects individuals of all ages but occurs most frequently in young children between the ages of 2 and 6 who are developing language.

Pagoclone’s effects are described as similar to alcohol but without the bad effects. It makes people feel relaxed and sociable, without feeling aggressive, nauseous, or uncoordinated. Pagoclone improved speech in 55 percent of the 130 patients who tested the drug with no major side effects and is still pending FDA’s approval.

Stuttering is a speech disorder in which the normal flow of speech is disrupted by frequent repetitions or prolongations of speech sounds, syllables or words and may be accompanied by rapid eye blinks, tremors of the lips or jaw, or other movements of the face or upper body that a person who stutters may use in an attempt to speak

    Hi,

    Anxiety problems affect more than 30 million people every year and make them feel uncertain and full of fear. In contrast with the minor attacks which appear as aresult of a certain event, such as a first date or a public speech, the Anxiety disorder continue for a couple of months or even a year and they can lead to severe problems if not treated correctly. Thanks for the wonderful article.

    I suffer from a combined stuttering that is trigerred by anxiety when i have to speak in meetings or make a speeches, i have no problem in speaking one to one or one to two or three when the space is limited, but when it is more people and the space can not be defined, the anxiety built up and kills the vocals while the heart beats thousand per second… funny but sad, i guess after some time you get use on humilation that kills your self confidence knowing that you know better than your oppenent, but your biology is not equipped to interact socially to carry your thoughts and beliefs. The story has more than one side, it can be a combination of stress, high expectation, childhood, ethnic background, poverty, perfectionism, ideals, skin colour, speaking a second language, trapped between two culture, war of civilisation, bilogy structure and chemistry in the body…etc. Whatever the outcome of future curement, I realised that most personnel with high anxiety, are mostly high talented, and distinguished in our thoughts and beliefs, lets say my name is x and i am anxiuos to meet you. direct definition of individualisim. If a cure would to exist to make us feel peace inside, the rest of the un-anxious population, would lose there jobs and positions…We will be Super heros..Maybe next life..

    Sometimes situations like this make us not to avoid to undergo depression. People suffering from depression seem to float from one day to the next, then suddenly plunge into their mental undertow, or just as quickly snap out of dark mind-clouds. For many, depression’s tragic episodes can go on for years. A lot of times medical experts can barely explain depression’s causes and mechanisms, making a cure seem so far away.

    Learn how EFT training can break years of depression with this simple process that also works for many other illnesses. EFT’s powerful and innovative therapy stimulates self-healing and restores you to a more constructive, mindful approach to life.

  16. anxiety remedy August 31, 2009 5:35 am

    Anxiety is just a state of mind. It can very well be cured. But one need to work upon it by using some natural remedies.

    Deep breathing exercises are excellent for anxiety and many people report positive results from meditation. Some other natural anxiety remedies to look into are St.John’s Wort, SAMe, L-Theanine, and Tryptophan.
