Brief Answer:
Higher than the recommended dose.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
This is higher than the recommended intake.

Overdose is usually manifested by varying degrees of central nervous system depression ranging from drowsiness to coma.

It can cause side effects like mild effects were drowsiness, confusion, and lethargy and in more severe cases ataxia, AV-block, hypotonia, hypotension, methaemoglobinaemia, respiratory depression and coma has occurred.

The side effects is usually aggregated in the presence another central nervous depressants, like alcohol. It is better to get yourself examined by the local doctor and then decided on the management.

This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
