It is always better to consult your doctor for any problems you get after taking over the counter pills. Abdominal symptoms with fatigue need some workup. mostly including your liver workup. Hemoglobin levels too helpful. Stop all medicines you are taking. No alcohol. For Diarrhea related symptoms Curd intake with ORS solutions 200ml per stool can help. antispasmodic will be ok for pain abdomen.
