Well, I tend to believe it is not a stimulant, chemically anyway. Since it's only action is to draw water into the stool, I see it as quite benign and it sure seemed benign to me. Like some here, I noticed that it really didn't seem to do all that much, but I used it more religiously that other things save my nefedipine.
I'm sure that simply having wetter stools is a "stimulant" in one manner of speech. I suppose the question is, could some people develop a "dependency" on wet stools and not be able to hydrate properly after ceasing and desisiting? Just my thoughts. I never skipped a beat when I stopped, about a month after my LIS surgery.
