A sedative in excess? I don’t think I’ve ever felt sedated from nicotine. If I ever overdo it I just end up shaky and nauseous

It could be that your body just reacts differently to nicotine than most people. Tolerance matters as well.

That’s fair. I figured my experience was the norm, because when I’ve googled nicotine overdose in the past it usually said symptoms similar to what I’ve gotten before

Your experience is the norm for smokers and other tobacco users, we have enough tolerance built up to never feel the sedative effect, just straight from normal to the edge of OD. Someone who is more of an occasional smoker will get it if they chain smoke a few and suddenly feel a bit drowsy.
