What a Prozac overdose feels like

Took twice my dosage requirement today on Prozac, partly because I felt horrible about myself for giving in to my tears, and partly cuz i just felt like it. 

I felt worse. After 20 minutes and an empty stomach the world seemed to fuzz out, and my vision had blurry edges to it. My hands were jittery and I couldn't sleep. I felt like just sleeping it off but my eyes couldn't close. There was a dull ache in my head and I just wanted to do something extreme. The swirls on SBBs clothes became very obvious and it appeared to move. When a dust ball passed on the ground I thought I saw the whole ground rise up. I'm not hallucinating but I guess this is close to it. My eyes felt like they were burning and I kept hiccuping after awhile. I took panadol to stop the hiccups and then felt tons tons tons better. 
So. Solution for excess Prozac? Eat panadol. It counters the jittery effect and calms your nerves down. People don't die on Prozac overdoses. It just caused liver toxicity. 
Even now I feel the urge to shake and shake the jitters away. And it's becoming slightly difficult to sleep, but I know after awhile I will fall asleep. 

Here's a selfie of me an hour back, fighting nausea, jitters and pain. 

If there's one thing I've learnt, is not to do this again. Lol.
