Yes, call 911: The most important part that needs to be evaluated is your action to deal with being in a “bad spot”. Too much of any medication is most likely to cause adverse reactions. Amoxicillin is a relative safe drug but that’s beyond the point. You need help dealing with stressors. Call 911 to be sure you are ok.

Yes: Call 911 to make sure that you don’t develop any life threatening reaction to amoxicillin since you are allergic to it! And seek help regarding your emotional well being. There is help and healing for this, and you just need some support to get you through it! Hope you get well soon!

Overdose : YES. You may have a severe reaction. If you have an antihistamine such as Benadryl I would take one. Good Luck
