I found this tonight when I was looking for side effects of possible Xeloda overdose... Within moments of taking my evening dose, I suddenly couldn't remember if I had already taken it. Still can't. But I don't think I took it twice. Yikes if I did. Anyway, I also googled Tykerb overdose info just in case I screw that one up someday, and I found this list which I don't think I have ever seen before, and thought I would share.
