“I think I had a sertraline overdose?”
Can it be bad for a 300 pound woman to overdose on 800mg of sertraline?

Why are you taking that much sertraline? You shouldn't be taking more than 200 mg a day. If your physician prescribed that dose you need to get a second opinion because that is too much. If you took it one time you probably got very sleepy, dizzy, headache, but you obviously didn't overdose since you're asking this question. But you will harm your liver and possibly have a bad reaction if you keep taking this much. Please stop and consult another doctor!
No
It is definitely not good for anyone to have that much sertraline all at once. If you took that much all at one time, you need to be seen by a physician immediately. In addition, did you take that much on purpose? That is also not good in general and should talk with your doctor about your medications if you do not think they’re working. Be honest with your doctor so they can help you best but please seek medical care immediately if you have not.
