Can Overdose Of Doxepin Cause Grey Stools?

I recently have been hospitalized for overdosing on doxepin. Since then I ve had a couple late bowel movements. The first taking two days but just a small amount. And and the second concerns me the most. I was constipated and my stool came out thick or hardened and black. And by black I mean no shades of brown or green. It was shades of grey black. I am wondering if my overdose of prescribed doxepin caused this to happen and will it go away?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
Doxepin causes constipation nut grey stool is not reported.
It may be rarely.
Take simple laxatives after consulting your treating physician.
If grey stool is due to doxepin, than it will recover.

Don't worry and take care...
