Constipation: Antipsychotics commonly cause constipation as a side effect. This leads to altered stool consistency. In severe cases it can lead to fecal impaction and bowel obstruction. Usual treatment is use of laxatives. Increasing fiber and fluids in diet may be of benefit. In some cases dosage adjustments could be helpful. Recommend notifying your doctor and discussing treatment options. Hope this helps.
