How about better?: Would you be into trying to figure WHY you are suffering from major depression, social anxeity, and stuttering? Nowadays, stuttering may actually have a neurological substrate to it and not be exclusively due to psychiatric/psychological issues as previously thought...so maybe imaging of the brain is worthwhile. But other than that....how about COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT) before drugs?

Stuttering: There are many drug options to treat both depression & social anxiety. Safest are SSRIs (although no such thing as drug w/o side effect). OTOH, only a small fraction of those who stutter respond to drugs. Check out http://www.stutteringhelp.org/alprazolam-citalopram-and-clomipramine-stuttering, http://www.drugs.com/health-guide/stuttering.html & http://goo.gl/AmxoRk. Latter suggests antipsychotics
