Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Yes, you should be concerned especially if you use alcohol along with it. This medicine is metabolized by liver so it can cause its damage.
taking it in such high dosage can lead to addiction, depression or even death due to breathing problems.
That is why I suggest you to consult your doctor and consider further treatment.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
