Laxative Overdose?

I drank an entire bottle of mineral oil laxative in about 3 days. You're only supposed to take 3 tbs every 24 hours, I've taken much more than that. Is there anything I should be concerned about? Or is this no big deal?

Why would you do that?  Do not do this again for sure.  

SassyLassie made some good recommendations too.

Well, I would certainly keep track of how you are feeling, and, if you get a lot of diarrhea, bad stomach pain, or anything else abnormal, see a doctor as soon as possible.
