Taken Vitamin Pills. Tongue Discolored. Will Too Much Of Vitamin Pills Cause Side Effect?
My tongue is discolored like a brownish/black. Only about the size of a half dollar but I was taking lots of B-12 liquid vitamin (1000mcg) Stopped taking it a few days ago and it seems to be getting a little better but it scares me. Can you tell me if too much B-12 could have caused this? One day I took 2 dropper full which is equivalent to 2000 mcg

Welcome to HCM.
Vitamin b12 doesn't give discoloration of tongue.
Iron gives brownishblack discoloration of tongue and even teeth but it is only for time being.It will disappear day by day.
You can take tablet to avoid local discoloration otherwise take syrup with some juice.
Get examined by your treating doctor.
