I'm set for SN tonight. I'll post my protocol below with some other things I did to make it more comfortable. I'm really grateful for these forums and chat Hope there will be something that is helpful to others to have a peaceful release from suffering.
Questions I've been thinking about that everyone should ask themselves:
How determined am I? (Very, been in the process for months and contemplating for 35 years.)
What happens if I fail? (Backup is nitrogen)
Will I call for help? (Absolutely not, can't handle going to inpatient psych again)
What will I focus on as I'm dying, ie spiritually, to help guide me? (Going someplace peaceful and calm with no suffering)
Protocol
5p - 6 hours before start fasting,.set up bedroom, get trashbag in case I vomit, put lozenges and gum by bed
Set up all med dosages in cups marked with time, set out SN and scale
9p - 2 hours before stop fluids; add electric blanket to bed and warm up bed in case I get cold
9p - 2 hours before 60mg Pepcid (debatable but is a regular med and will reduce reflux) 400 mg.propranol
10p - 1 hr before: 50mg tramadol for pain reliever
10:15 45 min before 3x30 mg meto + 8 mg Zofran
Consider additional 400mg propranolol if haven't noticed anything from earlier dose
Log out of SS, erase browser history,
10:30 - 30 mins before Crush benzos, dissolve in little water (2 tabs valium, 4 tabs Xanax, 16 tabs Ativan)
10:45 - 15 mins drink benzos, hold in mouth for quicker absorption - idea is for it to hit me when SN does
10:50 - 10 mins before measure out 25 + 25 +24 grams SN and 3 cups 100 ml water each
10:55 - 5 mins before: mix SN in water, use lozenge to numb throat
11:00 - drink glass 1 SN drink in 2-3 gulp; lozenge to remove taste and reduce gagging
If vomiting occurs, drink 2nd cup
If vomiting occurs again, drink 3rd cup
Please wish me luck for a peaceful transition
