Can you overdose on anti-depressants/anti-anxiety pills?

Thanks..

It seems the worst thing that would happen is that you will die a ghastly and nightmarish death and the least thing is that you will suffer horribly for many weeks.including severe anxiety, headaches, shaking uncontrollably and violent epileptic fits, including extreme weight gain caused by water retention.

Some of the various side effects from the different antidepressants are:

Dry mouth

Urinary retention

Blurred vision

Constipation
Sedation (can interfere with driving or operating machinery)

Sleep disruption

Weight gain

Headache

Nausea

Gastrointestinal disturbance/diarrhea

Abdominal pain

Inability to achieve an erection (men)

Inability to achieve an orgasm (men and women)

Loss of libido

Agitation

Anxiety

• Yes, you can overdose on anything. But you'd probably have to take the whole pack in one go for there to be a problem. Taking them as directed by a doctor is not going to do any harm.
