Anyone else ever feel like it is sort of hard to talk, or speak certain words sometimes????

Kind of like your nervous, and you can't seem to relax your Jaw or Muscles in your Jaw???

I mean I can talk just fine, but more like trouble moving your mouth/jittery???

Thanks,

Hi, I just posted a question similar to yours. Yes I do have that problem. When Im jittery as Iam today. I can talk just fine as well. However I feel like Im having trouble. No-one really notices. Sometimes I will kind of stuter like. Hard to describe....not a real stutter. Just jittery like. Sometimes the words feel thick if that makes sense. Like my tounge is thick. I sometimes have to consciuosly say it alittle slower. Or maybe it's just that I tend to talk really fast when Im having high anxiety and who wouldn't trip over their tounge talking so fast. Sometimes it is noticable by my family. However when Im out and about talking to people for work. Or talking to clients on the phone I never pay attention to it and can't remember that I have a problem at that time.....Anyway is this anything like what your feeling?

hey laura,

Yeah that deffinently sounds like what I experience sometimes..nothing serious...just from time to time....

You don't think it is anything serious do you?

I hope not....I really don't think so though. Sometimes I wonder if it's from the Klonopin too. Sometimes Im so worried about it and so consciuos of it that I think it makes it worse. However I do know when Im busy I don't even think about it or notice it at all. So that leads me to believe that it is anxiety related. Im hoping more people respond though....hang in there!

YES! This definitely is something that happens to me as well.

we all become a bit tonguetied at times
it helps to think of what you want to say first, and to avoid listening in to the sound of your own voice practise the difficult words, also give speeches and lectures when on your own

Well I am still having some problems talking/speaking at times???

I don't know why, and I am scared!

I seems to effect my tougue, like it won't react the way it should when saying certain words??? Feels like I can't control it, but it only happens sometimes???

Is this a legit symptom of ANXIETY??? From the MEDS ZOLOFT??? ATIVAN???

Anyone else out there experience anything like this??? If so lets hear about it!
Thanks

hi I get this also some days more often then others I think having 5 kids does it me lol seriously though STRESS can cause this.Also sometimes it just happens.........anxiety and stress go hand and hand

I know, but do you think it is the Anxiety? or the ZOLOFT? or ATIVAN?

Im scared that it could be something else??? Another disease?

Hi B:

I'll bet it's the Zoloft. One of the side-effects of Zoloft that troubled me was dry mouth. It's possible your speech problem is related to your meds, but it's also possible it's because of your anxiety. I noticed that Zoloft kind of speeded me up and caused me to talk a lot. I think my mouth was speaking before my brain could complete a thought...lol, but often I tripped on my own words. I was a chatterbox...one of the unpleasant side-effects I experienced on Zoloft.

How are you feeling now that your Zoloft dosage has been upped?

I have been on ZOLOFT for 1 month now....

50mg....3 weeks

75mg...1 week.....

I really have felt better since the upped doseage, espicially as of late.....my mind seems more clear...thinking more rationaly...just overalll feeling better...I hope it continues....Thanks
