I took almost 70mg total of 3 different kinds of melatonin. 20 mg of a gummy kind, 24 mg of a fast disolve kind, and 20mg of a maximum strenghth sleep+calm combo.
I am sooo drowsy right now.

Yes. That is an overdose.The max dose recommended is 10 mg. As the article I'm linking says over 30 mg causes side effects, including stomach issues. Normal dosing of melatonin is up to 5 mg/day with 10 being a maximum. You'd have to talk to a doctor to know if there are serious issues and at what dose but you may want to check on that.

Oh. I don't know if you can overdose on melatonin (like need ER help or to call 911). Have you told your mom? Are you suicidal?

I would say call a crisis line if you are suicidal, but the crisis line where I live is worthless. Don't know how yours is where you live.

This is what poison control says. According to them you should have someone waken you every 30 minutes until you are awake. There's more specifics in the article. It's unlikely to do great damage but it's also way more than you are supposed to take so caution is needed. The other articles mention your blood pressure could be low so watch for dizziness:

Nothing happened. I just slept really good and I woke up feeling rested. I kept my meds down too for once when I woke up to take take them at 2AM with a snack. I did throw up a couple times when I woke up though half an hour ago.

I've taken that much melatonin before, and while, yeah, it's generally not lethal, it can fk up your sleep cycles as you adjust to not having that much melatonin in your system.
