Be careful, dude. I've overdosed way too many times and sometimes recovery isn't so easy. If you're worried, call poison control, but here's the info from the drug monograph.
Overdose
Symptoms and Treatment:
Human Experience:
There have been 3 cases of sertraline overdosage (approximately 4 to 10 times the maximum recommended daily dose). These 3 patients recovered completely without the need for specific therapy.
Management of Overdoses:
Establish and maintain an airway, insure adequate oxygenation and ventilation. Activated charcoal, which may be used with sorbitol, may be as or more effective than emesis or lavage, and should be considered in treating overdose.
Cardiac and vital signs monitoring are recommended along with general symptomatic and supportive measures.
There are no specific antidotes for sertraline.
Due to the large volume of distribution of sertraline, forced diuresis, dialysis, hemoperfusion, and exchange transfusion are unlikely to be of benefit.
In managing overdose, the possibility of multiple drug involvement must be considered.
