You need to be seen for the black stools, either at emergency or urgent care. It is very important to verify this is blood and to identify the cause of the bleeding. Also to assess how much blood loss you have had, if it is blood. I am not familiar with any antidepressant that causes gastrointestinal bleeding. I am concerned about your stomach and back pains and wonder about bleeding ulcers or something even more serious. Get this checked out right away. Hope this helps.
