Just a little PSA...

[sadsamantha]

To everyone on here who tries to ctb via overdosing on pills, if you don't end up dying, no need to admit yourself to the hospital... Just give yourself a few days and it'll work it's way out of your system. Took 450mg of temazapam and 2250mg of trazodone on Sunday night. Was in a coma all day Monday. Felt like absolute shit all day Tuesday, but felt much better today, almost 100%... Will be going back to work tomorrow

Good luck I hope it's the case because even though you may feel sort of ok now it's not always the case for the longer term.

I used to take a bunch of pills in hopes of dying but it would be hard to breathe, I would get bad headaches and vomit it all out of my system. Never needed to be admitted to the hospital once. But I think it depends on the type of pills.

It also depends on what you take. I had to look up the two you took and they aren't all that toxic at those levels. Modern sleeping aids are significantly safer than older meds. It's good that you feel well enough without permanent damage (of what we know), but unless you have other health issues, you probably weren't going to ctb anyways.

 

[JudasIscariot]

Was your coma peaceful/lacking of consciousness at all? I have assumed it is comparable to death in a way.

Hopefully it's all out for now, don't push yourself at work :)

 

[blue94]

this happened to me when i was a kid who tried to kill myself. i think i took like 1500 mg of whatever ssri i was on (zoloft? or prozac) and then i woke up the next day feeling fine. no puking besides a slight stomach ache.. so it wasnt even obvious to anyone i tried to overdose. i hope you feel better soon.

 

[sadjenny]

I remember your post the other day. Thank you for the update, friend. I'm glad it's worked its way out of your system

 

[FuneralCry]

I personally don't think that it's worth it trying to ctb with very unreliable and risky methods that are just destined to lead to more suffering. Failing ctb sounds absolutely horrific so I would see it as being for the best to reduce the chance of this happening as much as possible. I hate how in this cruel world suicide has to be something that is so difficult, as humans we deserve the option to exit reliably and peacefully without struggle, none of us should have to endure a failed attempt.

im very sorry you had to suffer that samantha and hope you get to feeling better asap <3 thank you for posting the very important psa of not to cause ourselves more unnecessary suffering <3

I'm sorry what you had to go through, but no that is absolutely terrible advice. You can't just blanket state you'll recover from all drug overdoses without medical intervention just fine. For example, all of the SSRI antidepressant pills, those will give you serotonin syndrome, which at high severity will need medical intervention. Painkillers are absolutely terrible to OD on, and can lead to various damage and even failure of various organs. Not to mention for all drugs in general, you'll do more wear and tear to your liver, kidney and maybe even other organs if you simply leave your body to try to deal with the OD on its own instead of looking for medical intervention.

If you want to CTB via drug overdose, do your research! Seriously I can't stress that enough. Also even for the drugs that you actually have a chance to CTB on, many people greatly underestimate how much of said drug you need for any decent chance of CTBing. Only the stupidly powerful stuff like Fentanyl, Carfentanil, Etonitazene (and maybe Isotonitazene) is it possible to CTB less than 1 gram on. Even the glorified Nembutal/Pentobarbital is recommended to take 10g minimum for the majority of people to CTB from.

I honestly don't remember

This PSA was for people who are done with life and don't care if they suffer from damage but don't want to be psychiatricly hospitalized

Afaik only PN recommends that minimum dose, a doctor in one of my euthanasia books has stated that no one has ever woken up from 6g without some kind of intervention and I haven't seen him retract that statement anywhere. Might it take longer? Maybe, but you will still die.

All of the people here who used less than 10g never returned, except for 1 who was found after an unusual long time and rescued. There were 2 more survivors here but I think they used more than 10g. Euthanasia clinics use higher doses because they don't want to risk it taking longer than needed. (For the surviving family members who are there with them)
If you have official updates on the N dosage debacle that isn't PN, I'm all ears though.

Getting medical intervention sooner rather than latter can mean the difference between getting another chance at making a far better attempt at CTBing, to getting yourself immobilized in one way or another that can prevent you from making another attempt, and you end up spending the rest of your years in agony because the majority of people in the world won't be willing or be allowed to pull the plug on you if you get put on life support.

 

[Grayfield]

I'm so sorry about all this. I had seen your other post and I really thought your med combination would work. I feel for you. That was so brave. I'm really sorry.

I guess that's true

 

[borderline-feline]

Almost all of my attempts from my teenage years were overdoses, and overdosing often just leads to wishing that you were dead that much more. I only ever saw a doctor for one OD because my then boyfriend took me to the ER, and I got my stomach pumped. It was very unpleasant, and I forced him to lie about my age and my desire to die since I knew that a doctor knowing about either would be a big problem for both of us.

 

[bloop714]

Same last year I overdosed, felt suffocation and was on bed whole day, but it got better

 

[Amlg]

I'm sorry to hear that OP, I've been told by a few benzo/opioid dealers that Temazapam was a good product to use for unaliving yourself, is this accurate information?
Maybe it needs a significantly larger dose to be effective.

 

[stilhavinightmares]

It is super lonely and alienating to have a silent failed suicide. I have had many.
