Warning: non-scientist (me) about to delve into home-grown junk science hypothesising:
I think it is conceivable that it is caused in part by the increased activity on the sertonin receptors in the digestive tract or in the muscles of the diaphragm. There are serotonin receptors all over the body.
I notice that at night, I tend to get hiccups right before bed, which I have attributed to either the klonopin or the serzone or both. The hiccups aren't intractible--I can get them to stop by doing a relaxation exercise. But I just figure there is something happening in the signalling system of the muscles that maybe is caused by meds.
