title: A case report of alprazolam-induced stuttering.
abstract: A case is presented in which, by a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, alprazolam was shown to produce reversible stuttering. Because this effect has been associated with tricyclic antidepressants but not benzodiazepines, the case provides further evidence for pharmacologic effects similar to tricyclic antidepressants.
