Yes, Valium does cause constipation. I am a 58 yr old female who does not usually suffer from constipation. I was stressed last Saturday (5 days ago) and a friend gave me a 10 mg Valium tablet which I took that night to help me sleep. I've had severe constipation since then and am hoping this will pass soon. I eat a high fiber diet, and last night I took a laxative, and still nothing.

Yes, both medications can cause constipation. Both medications relax smooth muscle as part of their function and one of the places smooth muscle is located is in the intestines, thereby slowing intestinal function and causing constipation.
