New Drug for Stutterers?!
Yes!
Well, may be.
A large experiment was conducted by Indevus Pharmaceuticals Inc of Lexington, on stutterers to test their new drug:
There were 132-patients,
88 of them were given the drug, pagoclone, while the rest were given the well known placebo.
They were given various tests like reading aloud or having conversations.
They were measured on the frequency of their stuttering, and the length of time they took on their blocks.
And it was evident that those with pagoclone stuttered a lot less than those with placebo!
Gerald Maguire, who researches in speech disorders said the results were promising. Also, the pagoclone causes less side effects than the current psychiatric drugs currently prescribed for severe stutterers.
But they need more tests and bigger tests to be certain.

My opinion on this? Well, if it will truly help me on my stuttering, the I think it is awesome!
Just so long as there are no bad side effects, and a money-back guarantee.
