first, which multi-vitamin are you taking? check its label and see how much of the daily recomended dose it provides, if it's under 100% then go ahead and take two of them, but only for a while. vitamins like anything else can be harmful when over dosing. for exemple vitamin a though improves your eyes in an over those can actually hurt them. besides the liver damage. I wouldn't take more than 100-120% the USFDA recommended daily dose. if the multi-vitamin you're taking is low in any vitamin then take that one apart.

Yeah, no worries, extra vitamins just go through you anyway. just don't over do it though excessive multi vits can cause minor problems. But 12 hours is fine, just drink a little more water than you normally would (that should take care of any problems I can think of brought on by what's usually in multi vits).

If you take one dose of multi-vitamin capsule, only a portion is assimilated in the body. The rest will be excreted through urine.

Some vitamins are fat soluble. Those you can overdose on. The water soluble ones will wash on out of your body. The fat soluble are A

I don't think it would do much damage. Our bodies are very resilliant and have the wonderful ablility to filter out toxins. Just don't do it too much. Come to think of it, if you did do it regularly, you'd probably put a larger hole in your wallet than you would in your stomach.
