Vitamin C is water soluble. Excess amounts are excreted through the urine. Large doses can cause diarrhoea & nausea particularly when taken on an empty stomach.

You can't really overdose. vit c is water soluable, so any excess your body cannot use goes out in your urine. In mega-doses (several thousand milligrams per day) it can cause diarrhea in some people, but no real damage or anything.
