Took too many Celexa

I just woke up after sleeping for around 4 hours to a cold sweat, no nightmares or anything, my chest is killing me. Mostly just my left side. I can feel my heart pounding and every time it does so I feel a sharp pain in that area. So  nauseous I'm shaking, I feel like I can actually feel everything going on in my head, right now my thoughts are racing, my pupils are freaking me out I can feel them dilate and undilate and every time I do I shiver. I feel like if I was to get my blood pressure taken it would be off the charts, I can feel my blood going through my body it's the strangest feeling. I have to keep holding onto myself just so I know I'm still here and my body didn't disappear on me because I swear it will right now if I don't hold onto the thing. I feel like I would just become a floating manifestation of anxiety right now, somehow still with a conscience or something.  I know I took more than prescribed I'm just curious about whats going on and if im okay.

I think it would ideal and safest for you to call 911 if you have not done so already.

You should call your Dr ASAP. Taking more is not going to help your body do anymore with the medication.
