Gelsemium as a method

[valentineisbackyall]

So I'm doing a rewatch of one of my favorite shows and I noticed a character uses gelsemium to kill her lover. I always thought it was a fictional drug until I looked it up a few moments ago.

There's been very little talk about this particular herb on the forum, so I wanted to ask the audience: What, if anything, do you know about it? Is it painless? Painful?

Educate me :)

Found a case study. Looks like patient presented with hypoxic euphoria before going into a coma. Causes severe respiratory depression and death within 30 minutes. It's almost impossible to obtain except in a 30C homeopathic preparation which is basically water with no active ingredient.
