go nuts

Completely freak out

Go nuts means to become wildly excited, enthusiastic, or unrestrained: The crowd went nuts when the team scored.

It can also mean to lose one's composure or sanity: I'll go nuts if I have to wait any longer.

The phrase often grants permission for uninhibited behavior: Go nuts—take as many as you want.
