> David,
> I have spasmodic dysphonia, a voice disorder similar to stuttering, and I've found that both Nardil and Neurontin help it to some extent. I believe that SD and stuttering are closely related--both have something to do with dopamine dysregulation in basal ganglia I think. The social anxiety goes along with both, as well as avoiding certain things--answering phone, saying name, etc. There's also a post in the Tips sections by a doc who claims one of his patients was cured of his stuttering by Nardil. I think both meds are worth a shot--probabaly more likely to work than the SSRIs. Also, both neurontin and nardil are helpful for social phobia.

I picked Celexa but think I made a mistake and should of picked Paxil. I read many messages about how more sedating Paxil was. I think the more sedate I am the better I can talk (I currently have a speech disorder and block on words). Can anyone tell me how more sedating Paxil is over Celexa? I was wondering if I should switch. Thanks.
