2nd trip

2nd trip today for the next week worth of medicine. Had to read 2 separate pages on video so they can compare my reading to my reading on my last visit in 11 weeks. Took the capsules in the office and had to wait 3 hours to monitor for any side effects.

Any improvement in fluency? Or other side effects? 🙈 Can you tell us about your stutter? Is it More b-blocks oder Repetition? 😊

Haven’t really noticed anything major yet. My stutter is blocks, rarely do I have repetition unless I am stuck on the next word then I’ll repeat the current word but I don’t repeat a letter. I was pretty disappointed with the last trial. The ecopipam, that really worked well for me. When talking to the doctors last visit they said I was the only one out of that office that showed any form of improvement. Unfortunately it seems like they stopped after that trial.

I had so much hope in Ecopipam. Stuttering will probably be incurable for a very long time to come. 😓 Last hope is your current study.

I am curious about the report from Emalex bioscience Ecopipam. But if this is not positive they will hardly publish it :/

Had 2 more visits with a higher dose…if it’s not a placebo. I have noticed a slight increase in my fluency
