Can I overdose on levothyroxine pills(25mg)?

You can technically overdose on anything but you'll basically feel like crap from levothyroxine. It'll make you sick.
Out of all of the years I've worked in pharmaceuticals (going on 14 years), I've never heard of ODing on levothyroxine. I'm sure it's possible, but chances of it being a successful attempt? Slim to none.

What about topomax?

I've never heard of a fatality from a topamax overdose. A woman ingest 4g with no side effects. The most I've seen ingested was 20g, and the patient had a tonic clonic seizure but survived. Usually a topamax overdose will just make you very tired

It seemed to me from prior posts that you worked in the medical field in some capacity so I was just curious. But maybe you're just really good at educating yourself.

I have worked in the medical field! I have a Bachelor's in a specialized health field, was working on my doctorate, and am a few credits away from a Bachelor's in biomedical science. I also do usually just do a lot of research too though before I respond on here bc I still have university access to restricted medical journals

I was put on Topamax for migraine prevention. All I got was terrible brain fog and the worst case of suicidal ideation. And if you stop it cold turkey, you can experience seizures.
