overdosed
Consumed too much
Overdosed is the past tense of overdose—to take too much of a drug or medication, often with harmful or fatal consequences: He overdosed on painkillers.
The word appears in both accidental and intentional contexts.
Figuratively, overdosed can describe excessive exposure to anything: I've overdosed on Christmas music this year.
