Hi, Logan!
Worst case it might have caused some nausea and drowsiness but it would have started yesterday. You would have taken the maximum recommended dose but you didn't overdose and you shouldn't have any long term effects from it.
Serotonin syndrome is rare but it usually occurs within 24 hours and the initial symptoms are anxiety, restlessness, agitation, and twitching or tremors.
Take today's dose right on your regular schedule.
You can relax because you'll be fine.
