I can't take life anymore and I think I'm ready to finally go through with CBT. I got a Prazosin prescription for PTSD even though it's used for hypertension. I didn't like it because my blood pressure is naturally really low at it's baseline, so just 1mg made pass out and dropped my pressure to 80/50 - so I'm wondering if more would be enough to actually do it, and if so, how much? Would it be excruciating? Would there be severe bodily consequences if I didn't succeed?

Poisoning with anti-hypertensive drugs: alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists - PubMed
Experience with overdosage and toxicity with the alpha (alpha)-adrenoceptor antagonists remains very limited, and all the cases in the literature relate to prazosin overdosage. The selective alpha-blocker appears, however, to have a low acute toxicity. Supportive therapy by the reduction of...

Seems like it's not as easy. I also found some reddit users on r/SuicideWatch saying that they failed but were overall dizzy and drowsy. I wonder how hard it is on the heart, since pressure is inversely related to speed. Interesting idea though.
