Methylene blue - strange reaction

Dear all, yesterday at about 8 am I've taken 10mg of methylene blue. I intended to take it sublingually, but it turned out to be too much (1ml=10mg). Thus, after 10 minutes I swallowed the rest of it (leaving my entire mouth entirely blue). Then, after about 20-30 minutes I begun to feel rapid increase in energy. Unfortunately, few minutes later I slowly started to feel strange. At that time I couldn't actually point out what's wrong with me. I begun to experience: loss of memory (short and long term), worse concentration, confusion ( for example when I went to store at about noon I somehow couldn't see that the cashier is free to check me out)( I also felt that I confuse some facts). Later in the day I felt somehow relaxed. Of course I couldn't proceed with my project/work (felt unpleasant). Also, at about 3pm I felt asleep for 1.5h. When I went for jogging after 5pm I literally felt like a monk (at peace). Accepting all the thing in my life. The strange feeling wasn't going to pass. Today of course I didn't take MB anymore. However, it was the firs time I noticed the MB in my urine. Throughout the day I was experiencing the same symptoms as yesterday, but maybe not that severe. All the time I was worrying that I've harmed myself. I think that I was very irresponsible. I decided to There is no case report so far indicating permanent neurological damage. take entire 10mg based on the interThe altered mental status due to methylene blue is reversible within 2–4 daysnet anecdotes/articles/papers stating that 0.16-0.64mg/kg is safe in humans. Also I boutht the MB from recommended source (mitoblue.com) that seems to be legit. It is about 40 hours after I took the MB. I feel like the symptoms are passing. I begun to feel better/normal. I think that I got mild serotonin syndrome, because I take tianeptine (3x12,5mg/day) that I'm prescribed for depression (I live in EU). At this moment I'm not worried that much that I've damaged my health with this foolish overdose. I should have taken much less. Even 1000x less. What are your thoughts? Did anybody experienced something like this? Is it going to pass entirely?

EDIT: for any crybaby like me that might ever encounter this: "The altered mental status due to methylene blue is reversible within 2–4 days. There is no case report so far indicating permanent neurological damage."
