You are only supposed to take one a day so if you take 12 instead of only one you are likely to get very ill and you will probably suffer from severe headaches and dizziness and throwing up for at least a day or two. You may perhaps even have some very severe convulsions. After a few days you should be OK again and it is unlikely that you would die from such a one-off overdose.
