Better go ahead and end it yourself to avoid the long painful agonizing death where you bleed from every orifice on your body.

good multivites take into account that they suppliment a diet and will leave headroom to prevent od. so you are probably asfe, not to mention u'd have to do it more than once..

Yes you certainly can.

Absolutely. Some people have died from taking way too many vitamins. Two multivitamins is still a relatively low dose though.

Hm..then you can't overdose on Vitamin C, correct?
Water soluble vitamins are quite difficult to overdose on, you just urinate them out. Vitamin C is water soluble. I suppose someone could come up with a rare case that you overdose on anything. But for a typical human, no you won't overdose on C.

Fat soluble vitamins and most minerals are a whole different story. You can't urinate them out quickly. So they are easy to overdose on. Multivitamins contain fat soluble vitamins and minerals. Two multivitamins won't harm you. But a bottle of them all at once will likely cause problems.

Yes...you can. When I worked in an ER we'd have kids come in all the time after they ate a whole bottle of Flintstone's vitamins.

Vitamin A overdose can cause nausea, peeling skin, hair loss, liver damage, and vision impairment.

Vitamin B (specifically B6 I believe) can cause nervous system damage and problems with muscular control.

C is pretty safe, and you would need so much D to overdose that it's not a threat (like 100-150 times the recommended amount).

Overdosing on iron will cause problems with wound healing.

So, how does one treat a Flinstones vitamin overdose? Um, just in case.
