Question: Is there such a thing as stool hardener pills?
Answers:
the cheapest quickest easiest healthiest way to bulk up your stools is to eat more fibrous foods such as fresh fruit and vegies and wholegrains and cereals like wholemeal breads and brown rice.. eat more crunchy vegies like celery carrots capsicum too ..... the closest you would get to a pill as a stool hardener might be metamucil to my knowledge .... but then you've to assimilate whatever flavorings chemicals preservatives et al are contained therein.
go the fresh food i say.... and drink more water ... hydrate you so that you eliminate better and feel all round better.

Antidepressants and opiates can cause constipation, if that is what you are looking for. But I assume you don't want to crap out rocks.
If you are trying to prevent loose stools try metamucil or increase your fiber intake.
If you have diarrhea for a couple days you may want to see a physician. Some otc cures are loperamide, or pepto-bismo.

You could try charcoal tablets.
Another option is psyllium husks.
