You are right about stress causing low gut motility. In my case the stressor was a benzodiazepine. Those horrible drugs down regulate GABAa receptors and leave glutamate uninhibited. Unfortunately gut motility isn’t their only detrimental effect.

Yes indeed. I've only been on Klonopin .25 (half of lowest dose) for very short periods (1 week max) at a time and I noticed significantly reduced motility (and constipation). Exactly - re downregulation of GABA. That's the problem with RX approach to many things.
