Wow... back before I could legally get slepping pills (nothing like the blues for the allowance of legal addictions)... I used to use this to try to sleep between different drug binges...I remember just taking a few too many above the recomended dosage and feeling totally knackered, like I had the flu or some other full body ailment, couldnt sleep and I had a headache, so I can't even Imagine an intentional overdose.
I can't even remember if this drug ever produced any noticeable sleep induction in me whatsoever, if it does have some sort of somnolence effect Id be damned to know that whenever I took it, it just always made me feel sick afterwards... I think it's one of those drugs that if you take 'exactly' the recomended dosage, you will get some initial sleepyness, but anything over will totally skew your evening...
I dont know if this can cause any 'permanant' damage, any more so than pumping your body full of SSRIs year after year, you might consult a doctor on this if you are really worried though.
