Gave my dog a double dose of prednisone tonight . He seems a bit loopy- does he need to go to the emergency room

I accidentally gave my dog a double dose of prednisone tonight so instead of 10mg he got 20mg. He weighs 50 lbs. He seems a bit lethargic and off balance. Am I best to take him to an emergency vet tonight ?
