Can taking 25mg of hydroxyzine once be enough to cause fecal impaction due to constipation? i have been experiencing constipation since taking it. i haven't taken any more. if it is just constipation, will it resolve now that i'm not taking it?

Constipation is a know side effect of this medication - You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health
