Ok to wait: You will probably be fine with waiting it out but you may feel more jitteryness or nervousness but should pass in a day.

Should be fine: While the maximum daily dose is suppose to be 200mg. per day, as long as this is the only time this happens and you aren't on other medications, you should be fine. Avoid aged cheeses, beers, wines, and other foods that contain seratonin today and take your correct dose tomorrow. Pill boxes that you fill ahead of time can help you avoid this in the future. Hope this helps.
