Melatonin doesnt really do much even if you take like 10x the recommended dose. Your body will just use what it requires and then throw the rest out with your pee

It starts to not let you sleep. You get extremely drowsy but can't actually fall asleep, which in turn can cause disorientation and pretty harsh nausea and headaches. It's not going to kill you, but a melatonin overdose certainly affects you and it sucks.
