Accidentally took my antidepressant dose twice

I got this weirdly hard boner, so hard it hurt a little then it went away after a while.
I take 20mg escitalopram and so I ended up taking 40mg escitalopram

Hi there. I saw a previous post of yours when you were in a very low period. I hope you come back and tell us how you are!  I've been thinking about you.

Hm. Well, taking your medication properly is important. The extra 20 mg may feel like a lot and you may have a couple of days that you feel 'off' as it enters your system and leaves your system but it shouldn't be horrible. I have no idea what you think the boner has to do with it though?

Well, I have Erectile Dysfunction, so it was weird that I got a really hard boner.
