Answers:
this definitely shouldn't be enough to cause damage in the average person, HOWEVER not everyone metabolizes medications at the same rate. this is not where you should be seeking answers. call your local drug safety hotline immediately, and if you don't know what the number is, you may want to call 911 and at least explain the situation. Given that you've fainted, there's definitely something wrong; it may however be the illness that's causing these symptoms and not the meds!
