At last, the double-blind phase of the drug trial is complete, and I have moved on to the open label phase of the Pagoclone stuttering study. That means I'm definitely getting the real thing - not placebo - and I can finally get a clearer picture of what this drug can (and can't) do to help me control my speech.
Just a few days into it, but I'll be reporting back here soon.
Thanks for the update - looking forward to future post
ReplyDeleteSo do you think it works for you?
ReplyDeleteI just entered an update of my experience on the Stuttering Forum (knowing them it will actually be posted sometime in March (hopefully 2010!)).
I think it helps me somewhat. Am still on the 30 dose. Still stutter but it feels easier to talk and I think my stuttering is decreased. And no noticeable side effects yet.
thanks Anon - I do think it helps me speak more fluently. I feel like I am stuttering less frequently and less intensively.... I am on the 60 dose now, will post about it soon. Thanks for reading!
ReplyDeleteI am from Germany. Interesting reports!
ReplyDeletePlease keep us in progress!
Thanks for your post. I promise to post soon, I've been meaning to sit down and write but...... anyway, here's the short version: I really think this works. I have been on the higher dosage for almost a month and I've been speaking much more fluently. Less stress in my throat. Still block, of course, but I feel much more in control of my speech. Will write more about this when I get a chance. Soon, I promise. Thanks for reading and thanks especially for taking the time to comment. Best, J.
ReplyDeleteThanks, we expect very the results.
