YES ... you can overdose on anything.

The primary effect of overdosing on The Pill is that because it is a synthetic hormone, your body will react just as if your organs were producing too much of one hormone. The body's hormonal system normally functions as an "inverse" relationship: when one hormone goes up, another hormone goes down. So if you take too much of The Pill in an attempt to overdose, you'll likely end up with too much testosterone or progesterone (most pills inhibit egg implantation with testosterone or progesterone). That means female hormones that the body should produce would be lowered. Therefore, a female who takes more of The Pill in an overdose attempt could end up causing her ovaries to be significantly affected. She could have symptoms of masculinization: hair growth, for example. A male who would take an overdose of The Pill would receive the amounts of female hormones present in The Pill, which would be much higher than the male body should have, so he could have feminization symptoms and could significantly affect his ability to produce healthy sperm.
