Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
This is higher than the recommended intake.

Overdose is usually manifested by varying degrees of central nervous system depression ranging from drowsiness to coma.

In the cases of overdosage, the main mild effects were drowsiness, confusion, and lethargy and in more severe cases ataxia, AV-block, hypotonia, hypotension, methaemoglobinaemia, respiratory depression and coma has occurred.

Symptomatic and supportive treatment in adequate clinical environment is recommended, attention should be paid to respiratory and cardiovascular functions.

You should visit doctor, you should promptly give detailed history to your consultant. Do not hide anything.

This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
