Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
I understand your concern.
Stammering is a common problem in late childhood and adolescence which seems to improve with age. In most people, it improves in adulthood, however in some, it persists. The problem arises mostly while communicating with others, specially over a serious issue when one is tensed. Hence anxiety and tension is a huge triggering factor.
Now-a-days the main aim is to reduce this anxiety and counsel the patients to reduce stammering. This builds confidence and the patient gradually becomes free from this problem. However, one cannot assure complete cure.
The drugs you have been prescribed are anxiolytics mostly and will help you keep calm while having conversations. Additionally I feel you should consult a counsellor or if possible a speech therapist. They deal with the psychological aspect of stammering wonderfully and give various tips and tricks to overcome this problem. It might take you some time but you should definitely be benefitted from such therapy.
Relax, avoid tension as much as you can. For headache, you can take paracetamol as and when needed.
Hope this was helpful.
You can consult me for any further queries.
Regards.
