Comment:
I did have the dark stool and some darkening of my tongue. I had read that there where side affects from taking this medicine so I was concerned, but all went well I had no problems only a little nausea if I didn't eat. I just finished and I'm not sure if the problem has been corrected I will have to wait and see.

I stopped after 14 doses because of black mouth, metallic taste, heart palpations and stickness like syrup coming out of my skin all over my body- has anyone else experienced this stickness?

Comment:
I have not had a normal BM since starting this med. My stools have either been loose or liquid and they are a weird green color. I feel bloated and full most of the time and have been having cramping and pain. I felt better before beginning this medication.
