We report a case of mild remission of childhood-onset fluency disorder with paroxetine. The patient is a 28-year-old male. His parents had been aware of his childhood-onset fluency disorder since he could remember. He came to our clinic. Medication was started. He started with paroxetine, which was effective. The patient's long-standing childhood-onset fluency disorder became milder and went into remission. After 3 years of continued medication, he stopped taking the drug. More than five years have passed since then, and the patient continues to be in remission. Numerous publications in the U.S. and Europe suggest that paroxetine is a drug that is effective in the treatment of childhood-onset fluency disorder.
