An overdose on laxatives can cause bodily harm to the intestinal tract. Constant diarrhea would begin, meaning massive amounts of fluid loss. Dehydration would shortly set in as well as electrolyte imbalances.

While all these symptoms can eventually lead to cardiac problems and even death, it would be a long and very uncomfortable time with stomach cramping, constant and profuse diarrhea, and other symptoms.

Long term, the "overdose" can cause changes in the intestines and intestinal wall. Too much laxative or chronic use of laxatives can cause bowel symptoms that are hard to reverse, leading to chronic diarrhea or diarrhea alternating with constipation. As well, if the "overdose" affects the heart, you can end up with chronic heart problems for the rest of your life.
