It all depends on which med you have. If you have a specific med in mind go to http://www.rxlist.com/, search for your med and then click on the tab near the top of the page which says "Overdosage/Contraindications." This will give you the results from the clinical trials and sometimes the results from the real world.
As a for instance if you look at Effexor, one person took 6.75gm without much of a problem. That's equivilent to 90 tabs of 75 mg or a one month supply for someone taking 225 mg/day.
From my own personal experience forget about the SSRI's and most of the "modern" meds. You won't get anything but sleep and a big mess to clean up afterward.
