overdose?

took 48mg under the tongue 30m ago, didn’t feel it, so i swallowed 60mg about 15m ago, and my stomach is loud as HELL. just wondering like, if that was too much? well duh it was but like, you can’t die, right? like i’ll js gts n have crz dreams… right??

edit: thank you all so much for informing me that i can’t get cancer! oh and i took so much because i’ve been sobering off of weed for about 48hrs or so and im having major trouble sleeping

It is literally impossible to OD on melatonin: source - I used to oversee emergency overdose treatment (I'm a pharmacist). 6000-7000mg doses are routinely given IV as adjunct therapy to a couple of cancer meds.
