Hi all,
I came across an idea in another post a while ago, that of drinking a lot of coffee, the poster had a particular brand of coffee in mind though for obvious reasons gave no details.
I haven't seen many posts about this idea, i'm not so keen on the idea of coffee because so many variables like how its made, type of coffee etc.
Similarly not a big fan of energy drinks. I've done some reading and suggestion is between 10 and 14 grams of caffeine is usually enough. I'm aware that most available pills contain up to 200mg of caffeine, although you can get stronger ones. So depending on what I could find I would need 50 pills if I went for the 200mg option or 25 if I could find 400. Although 400 is harder to find and i'm aware natural would be better to avoid things like anti caking agents.
I just wondered if anyone has any thoughts on this, I know OD generally isn't recommended, but at least this wouldn't be waiting for something like liver failure. I was thinking something like fasting might aid absorption and reduce risk of vomiting. I do know it would be somewhat drawn out between 2 and 4 hours and heart symptoms wouldn't be pleasant though. But as others have said no perfect method out there, and if you keep waiting for one it will never come. all the physical methods are beyond me, and SN just felt too dicy with shipping involved and so on.
It helps to get thoughts down at least even if nothing comes of them..

i don't think ODing on caffeine is a very good idea OP. it is not reliable, hence why it's not a common method among people committing suicide. large amounts of caffeine can irritate the stomach causing vomiting. thats all i can say as i believe other people on here can answer your question better.

Unless you're ready for period cramping for a week and a lot of vomiting, I'd not recommend this as I accidently overdosed on too much ice coffee and caffeine pills once (this was before I knew that this was even possible).

Caffeine OD is possible but usually done with large amounts of powder caffeine from bodybuilding sites which don't have binders. I don't think coffee, even if enhanced, has nearly enough caffeine unless a person has a preexisting heart condition..

Death by simulant is one of the worst ways to go imo. A person will be in extreme psychological distress and physical discomfort throughout the ordeal which can last awhile. You can look on youtube for the full footage of Lamar Bell who died in police custody after swallowing a bunch of cocaine. Caffeine and cocaine are both alkaloid stimulants and will kill in a similar fashion with the person ingesting it PAINFLLUY AWARE that they're dying.

even if you could, that sounds extremely uncomfortable. you would feel your heart pumping like hell, and all your senses going overdrive

i know this because once i drank a lot of coffee to motivate myself to do something and it was like this. i cant imagine how worse it would be with concentrated caffeine.

+1 for caffeine OD being horrible (and lasting for days after) - I accidentally misjudged the amount of powder I used in DIY energy drink. (Cheapskate uni student at the time - squash + caffeine powder). Was fine to use as a cheap drink once I got the proper measures and found my balance. If a relatively tiny OD caused me that much discomfort and upset and disorientation I would hate to know what a more significant OD would do to your insides and mental state.

i thought about caffiene pills bc my heart function is so messed up, before someone finally got me a SN resource. i also considered nicotine. it's fatal as well at certain levels. documented on pub med and things. i also condsidered poison hemlock since it grows around where i live and there is no antidote. i settled on SN. i never wanted to have to do this. also considered jumping, train, vsed, hypothermia when drinking alcohol and heroin my dad was to help me get. it didn't pan out and i can't be steady enough to inject anyything. i also had a rope tied to a support beam for awhile.

I'm not to familiar with caffeine pills so this just my guess. I would think if you take enough you could go into Tachycardia. I think this method could be highly effective and cause a heart attack but I also doubt this would be a comfortable way to go.
I remember an article of a college student who drank a lot of energy drinks and died. I couldn't find that article but I found this.

I've had troubles with unintentional caffeine overdose before, and trust me, it feels really bad and uncomfortable. OD by caffeine can make you euphoric, you wont go unconscious so easily, and it probably activates your SI(My guesses).

I've googled it so here's a list of possible symptoms you may experience:
Confusion, hallucinations, seizures, vomiting, headaches, nausea, tremors, axiety and will eventually lead you to coma.

You might aswell vomit half the pills you took, making it hard to CTB. Overall it might just be a really unpleasant experience with low chances of success.

Yeah this is the worst part. It all feels like I've been led to this by an unfortunate series of bad luck and preventable mistakes.
I'm sorry. I wish it had all worked out differently for us.

OH GOD NO!!!
You are certain to suffer greatly & in the end....
Not die. Coffee contains cardiac glycosides. You'll possibly get a very irregular heartbeat which could stay with you long term.If coffee could kill you would it be the most popular beverage in the world? Please rethink! 🤗🌹💔
