What are the effects of taking 7 zoloft's at one time?

I was put on zoloft about a year ago for major depression and anxiety. My original dose was 200mg a day (2 tablets). I stopped taking it about 6 months ago without telling anyone. Recently i've started taking it every now and then in large doses (usually 4 pills) in a sort of 'self harming' way. I just took 7 pills (70mg) and i'm wondering if there might be any serious affects because of this...

I AM NOT SUICIDAL (at present)

Update:

700mg*

The other times i did this on the smaller dose it just made me throw up.

    Nothing. Antidepressants don't work the same way most medications do. The brain can only absorb so much of the chemical. Any excess is just metabolized. The only thing your harming is your wallet. So cut it out.
