I also have trouble speaking when I'm under stress, or even out of breath from exercise. I never stuttered until I started taking an antidepressant called Welbutrin. After I stopped taking Welbutrin, the stuttering slowly went away. Now my stress-induced speech difficulties include a shaky voice and general inabillity to enunciate clearly. I also forget words when I'm speaking, but not when I'm writing.

The worse the stress, the more I slur and the more noticable my accent becomes.

I did not do well with Wellbutrin (no pun intended, as amusing as it sounds!)

It made me angry and irritable!
