Hi, Champ!
10mg/day is the standard dose but for those who tolerate the medication well the dose can be increased up to 25mg/day. So you didn't overdose but you might feel symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) such as feeling very hungry, dizzy, irritable, confused, anxious, or shaky. If this should happen you'll need a quick source of sugar like fruit juice, hard candy, raisins, soda crackers, or non-diet soda.
You should talk with your doctor if possible being the weekend but there's usually an emergency physician on call. You could also call Poison Control @ 1-800-222-1222 for advice.
