Considering paracetomol OD- any alternatives/advice?

[rosetrapped]

I know that this is going to be a very painful method, likely involve vomit and cramping etc. I also know that it's going to take a while and the success rate isn't very high, but my only other alternative is cutting wrists which I feel is even less effective. I cannot access SN in the U.K, I'm 18 and I also live with my mum and 4 younger siblings. I have severe anxiety which prevents me from leaving the house much, even going into shops. I don't drive. Luckily there is a large supply of paracetamol in my house, and if I were to stash up and take 50 tablets I'm sure this would end my life, if slowly and painfully I don't mind. If anyone has any advice on this method to make it more effective pls reply, I've read that taking a large dose over 3 days or more could actually be more efficient than just taking a massive dose at once. Other suggestions of methods that are accessible to someone in my position would be helpful too. I might take the overdose and then cut my wrists so I have more chance. I usually have at least 16 hours per day where no one will check on me so it should be enough time.

I am constantly in pain, I have so much shit going round my head and my thoughts are relentless. You reach a point where self-harm doesn't even help anymore. I'm young but I have been through a lot of trauma.

My mum was very upset because I have been depressed and anxious for a long time, so I tried to seek help from my GP about 2 months ago, so I could try for her sake, was referred to CMHT(community mental health team)for an assessment where I explained how I self harm regularly, want to die and have experienced the same anxiety and low mood, worsening since I was 13, to be sent away with an emergency phone number and an 18 week waiting list for counselling...

I really, truly don't believe things can get better for me. I've written suicide notes for individual family members and close friends, I just need to plan out how to do it. Thanks for reading anyways x

It won't work, dying of liver failure is extremely painful and takes a long time. During my first attempt I took several hundred pills of both Tylenol and Unisom as a sedative which messed up my actual suicide attempt. So unless you can avoid being found long enough to get liver failure you'll fail. There is a FAQ of resources stickied at the top of the forum for suicide methods.

I also tried to ctb by ODing paracetamol few years ago. It's extremely hard to die. I tried more than 50, and failed. Also very painful way to go. The vomiting is terrible. I don't recommend this method unless you want to die in serious pain. Remember, it is easily reversible if you get found within 8 hours. I also ODed 10 tablets of paracetamol yesterday, and I regret it.

0.1% of people who overdose on paracetamol will die. Not 1%. 0.1%

So, it's not going to kill you and is a terrible idea.
If you were to actually take enough to poison yourself, you will be sick for days. Not 16 hours... days.
The first few days you will be sick as a dog with nausea, vomiting and severe pain.
Several days later your liver will start to fail.... which is yet another very long, painful process that you're certainly not going to be able to hide from anyone - because, you will be yellow and laying in bed in agony.

Please, just no one try to overdose on over the counter drugs... they don't work.

People who could ctb'ed by paracetamol are very lucky even they suffered very long. Because most people cannot success by it. Include me.
I really wish you don't attempt paracetamol OD.
