I've been feeling sick for about 2 weeks now, about the same amount of time that I've been taking some new medication (fluoextine). The past four days or so the sickness has been better but not completely gone but my appetite is still reduced. The past two days I've had very dark poo like a black colour with a green tinge. Is this likely all because of the new medication or should I see someone?

I'm not taking any other medication or vitamins

Yes. If you read the package insert it lists side effects.
The thing that really worries me is the black stool which can be due to internal bleeding. You need to contact your gp today.

As someone that is currently on chemo for bowel cancer……… GP asap!

I know it’s not a nice thing to hear but it needs to be checked! Xx
