Stuttering

I am wondering if anyone else is an adult with ADHD who also suffers from stuttering. I have been stuttering since the age of 5 and it has become increasingly worse as the years have passed. I noticed with other medications such as SSRI’s, the stuttering became worse (especially Welbutrin and Zoloft). I now take both Vyvanse and Dexedrine every day. The stuttering seems to be the worst when my tolerance to the two is at its peak. I notice that when I take a day off of the Vyvanse and Dexedrine, and then take my medication again, the stuttering isn’t so bad. I am also currently undergoing neurofeedback brain treatment in order to attempt to remap the areas of my brain which deal with speech and word association. Is anyone else in the same boat as I am ?

Sometimes, I stutter, too.

I don't stutter often, but I am more likely to do it when I'm really stressed out. It happens to me on the phone at work, when customers are yelling at me, and won't let me get a word in edgewise.
