A Case of Childhood-onset Fluency Disorder Reduced by Escitalopram

Authors: Toshiro Takami

We experience a case of childhood-onset fluency disorder mildly affected by escitalopram. The case is 28 years old, male, with no close relatives with childhood onset fluency disorder. His parents had been aware of his stuttering since childhood and he had been treated by a speech therapist with no effect. She came to our clinic. She was started on medication. The patient started medication. In the beginning, she had no progress and failed, but paroxetine responded. The patient's longstanding stuttering almost disappeared. However, the patient dislikes sexual dysfunction and stops taking it on his own. The stuttering flared up, but the stuttering is now well controlled with escitalopram. He has been on escitalopram continuously as he relapses when he stops the drug. He is also experiencing sexual dysfunction that is being treated with sildenafil.
