If I were you, I’d look into the resources offered by the Stuttering Foundation:

Stuttering is a common problem, suffered by millions of people. I remember hearing on the radio last month that it has now been determined to have genetic roots. This news, first reported in scientific journals, apparently is now all over the internet. Here’s one report:

There are all kinds of secret “guaranteed” “programs” that promise to help you stop stuttering. But they sound bogus to me. I would direct my attention to the Stuttering Foundation. Those people have been there, done that, and their motives are not profit-based (it’s a non profit organization). Can’t go wrong. Good luck.

“Self Therapy for the Stutterer” published by The Stuttering Foundation of America worked wonders for my family members who stuttered after working through it step by step. The book can be found here http://www.stutteringhelp.org/Portals/English/Book_0012_tenth_ed.pdf
Some medications that other stutterers have tried include lorazepam, citalopram, celexa, and buspar. Ask your doctor about trying an anti-anxiety medication while you are working on your stuttering. Be aware that your stuttering may be better than the side-effects of the medication, though.
Each stutterer is different, and a therapist who specializes in treating stuttering will be able to determine what will help you the most as they work with you.
The Foundation also has a list of speech therapists who have been trained to work with stutterers
My uncles who stuttered said that they stuttered worse when they tried NOT to stutter, when they were under stress, and when they were very tired. Try concentrating on what you are saying rather than how you are talking, eliminating as much stress from your life as you can, getting plenty of rest, plus working on your speech using a therapist, the self therapy book, or watching The Stuttering Foundation’s videos and using the things you learn every day.
I also suffered from stuttering and recently came across ‘Kill Your Stutter’.
It’s a pretty in-depth program for how to stop stuttering in just a few minutes with specific stutter stopping techniques.

Good luck to you!
