Brief Answer:
Stop worrying at the moment, let us be methodical.

Detailed Answer:
Most welcome dear friend.
I can understand the stress you must be going through.

Our 3 experts on the Infectious diseases have already answered you. Please go through those answers again, this will help you to reduce your anxiety and stress.

For your sake I have tried my best to scan all available literature and none supports the view of any overdose complications, this is a good news.
On the top of this I have written to one of the best Pharmaceutical companies about this case so that we may get some feedback and be assured.

YYYY@YYYY

Let us wait and see. If I get any positive or negative information, I shall be happy to forward to you.

Please do not forget to see the Psychiatrist if your anxiety /stress level is too much, it helps.(Of course it is up to you- nut I think it is better too after reading your correspondence)

Since you have no other symptoms at the moment, just stop worrying; why do you want to spoil your present?

You may get the blood test:: serological testing for the presence of antirabies antibody titre and let us know the results.(as assessed by the Rapid Focus-Fluorescent inhibition Test). Talk to the Ranbaxy or such big labs and take help of your friend from Medical field and get the reports.

Awaiting yours
