What will happen if you take a large amount of placebos?
Technically, absolutely nothing should happen. A placebo is substance that is meant to deceive the patient into believing they are getting actual medication. Placebo's are most commonly used in drug trials to see if the drug actually works or simply causing a "placebo effect". Which is a psychological response the brain permits when it believes it is being treated. So ultimately the answer to your question is that no, taking large amounts of a placebo won't harm you. Though if you are experiencing placebo effects then it has the possibility of increasing your response to it.

If you think you are pregnant and want your period to come, go to a doctor/do a pregnancy test or take the morning after pill if it's not too late.
Why wouldn't a doctor be notified if a patient is getting a placebo or a treatment?
In a double-blind test, if the doctor treating a patient knows whether the patient is getting a real treatment or not, they may (perhaps unconsciously) treat the patient differently, or worse let slip that the patient is taking the placebo. This will affect the results (as it changes the effect of the placebo) and can ruin a drug trial.
