Hi zeugma. I'm uncertain whether it is Stahl's original idea. He does bring it up in the chapter on norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, such as reboxetine and straterra, both of which caused severe constipation for me, too. I think your ideas sound equally plausible. It is so refreshing to find people like you, and others here, and Stahl, who try to understand and explain these side effects, unlike the pdocs who told me that I couldn't possibly be constipated because "these drugs are not anticholinergic." I can't tell you how many pdocs I've walked out on because they refused to believe me just because they hadn't heard of a particular side effect before. Arrrggh!
