I joked with my friends that they could just call me porky the pig (even though I felt quite humiliated around strangers and have avoided social activities since. Good news: I have been off of it for 4 days and no stuttering. Bad news: if it helps your son's depression it may be a side effect he may have to deal with-that is awful isn't it? I take topamax and I have to deal with bad taste in my mouth all day but it helps me so much I don't want to give it up. I would just talk to his pdoc if it gets worse, maybe there is something he/she can give him that can help with it. Good luck,
Anna
