Overdose on multi-vitamins?

I have these delicious sour gummi multivitamins. I want to eat them.

Specifications -- 2 gummies = 1 serving.

Per serving.

Vitamin A -- 40%
Vitamin C --50%
Vitamin D -- 50%
Vitamin E -- 67%
Vitamin B6 -- 50%
Folic Acid -- 50%
Vitamin B12 -- 83%
Biotin -- 25%
Pantothenic Acid -- 50%
Iodine -- 27%
Zinc -- 17%

Sorry for the long post, It's just that I either eat them now or throw them away tomorrow night... Can anything harmful occur by eating a bunch of them?
Well I had about 8 before I thought about negative things. This is indeed a one time thing though.

I do NOT care about the effects of long-term overdose, mainly because there will not be long term overdose.

Does taking multivitamins without a meal create a diuretic effect?

This morning I took my usual does of multivitamins without having actually eaten a full meal, it's suggested that you always take your vitamins after a full meal, as I have always done. About 1-2 hours later I had this minor sort of diuretic effect where I went to the bathroom a couple of times to urinate just little bits of water. My urine was clear as it has usually been since I drink plenty of water during the day.
But the weather has been very odd today too! Lately it's been very hot and dry, hello it's summer, and this morning was surprisingly cool with high humidity. Could the change in weather be affecting me somehow?
The multi-vitamins include Vitamins C, D, E, B6, B12, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folic Acid, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus, Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Molybdenum, Inositol, PABA, Panax Ginseng. Do any of you know if any of these vitamins create a mild diuretic effect, or is it just a change in weather?
