> Something was called into Walgreens also. They wouldn't tell me what it was because I couldn't prove who I was, but I'm guessing rather than a stimulant like Amitiza, it's an anti-spasmodic.

Senna and cascara are motility stimulants. They increase bowel contraction frequency and strength. That's for constipation.
