    When you say "overdose" what exactly do you mean?

    How many hours have passed?

      I sincerely hope you are talking about 20mg and not 20 pills. If you took 20 pills it's a miracle you are still conscious. Go to the hospital now!

    You need to go to the hospital right away and make sure you are ok.

    If you have or/and are considering overdose again you need to go to your doctor immediately. They can give you help.

    If you're feeling okay I wouldn't worry about it but please don't do that again

      Go to your doctor at the very least and work this out let them know what you took how long ago they may want you to hold off for a few days to let some of that work through your system go see your doctor please

    I would try the GP 'it's an emergency' appointment first. They would thgen send yoiu to A & E if they thought you were in danger. Or, is there a walk in centre near you. A & E are overwhelmed and you may be OK with primary care/

    Good luck and as others have said, not a great idea to take a load of tablets like this. Much better to try to get talking advice even if it is NHS 111.

    Good luck.

    Hi Alison - I read that it's difficult to overdose on Zoloft. Someone took 2000mg and survided. You should be Ok but go see a doctor to be sure and perhaps you need to try something different if you took it to self harm. Depression sucks but it's only a feeling and not reality. When it goes away you won't think that way. You'll go out and you'll enjoy a lot of things. Life will have meaning. It's all a state of mind. Life is grand and you will see it once you feel beter.
