hi,
i dont think you would need a doctor for excess drug dose but may be for your diarrhoea and fluid loss
do not worry..
1.its good if you can get your vital parameters like bp heart rate sugar levels checked..
2.take plenty of fluids with electrolytes ..(oral rehydration solutions) as you are losing a lot..
3.visit doctor if you have light headedness palpitations or any other symptoms..
most of the drug overdose have the side effect of vomiting and diarrhoea..
its the process by which body tries to eliminate the drug..
i cant exactly say what is happening in your stomach as we dont know the name of it..
hope my answer helped you
if you have any more queries i would be happy to help you..
