OD of caffeine

[Istg_IW2live]

I've been thinking 'bout it and if could by some caffeine pills that are normally used on the gym, then I could take a lethal amount, I think its the equal to 70 cups of coffee. What do you think about it?

I'm sure I saw a news article recently of a guy who did this (by accident in his case), so I guess it would be possible? Unsure about how many you'd need to take, but I'd be more concerned about how they take you out. I guess cardiac arrest? Not sure how peaceful that would be. Depends on your priorities I suppose.

Personally I can't imagine how awful that would be. It has a very low chance of working & possibility of debility. I took too many caffeine pills when I was helping a friend move. It was awful!

I drink a 24 pack of soda in a week. And that's me cutting down from a 2 liter a day. I don't think caffeine pills are going to do it

You do not yet have access to the search as you have not posted enough but, when you get it, you will see there are sooooo many people who have asked this here. Most people who die from a caffeine OD either had some medical condition that put them more at risk or took something along with the caffeine. Unfortunately, this is not a reliable method.

Well, I'm kinda new over here, and I'm just trying to find a method that would be reliable (my first option was a plastic bag and some zip ties). Also, when I'm referring to caffeine OD I'm talking a whole bunch of pills.

Bump with similar questions about accessible methods.

But caffeine pills? No way they'd work.

Possibly, I know there were some people dying from consuming more than enough caffeinated lemonades (which was like one large)
But to do it intentionally, I don't know if it would work. Even if you wash them down with energy drinks. You only get more anxious and have strong headaches.

Don't do it I know from personal experience and you can wreck your kidneys if you survive luckily I didn't. Although my friend did kill himself this way it's horribly painful

Wouldn't Tylenol be more effective? I suppose they're not mutually exclusive.

Stimulant ods are most horrible

I used to be a meth addict. In my experience you're not going to kill yourself with stimulants. Even meth. You're just going to have a really, really shitty time with your heart racing, your veins constricting, your extremities and skin going cold and clammy, you're definitely gonna feel as though you are dying with a fairly low chance of it actually happening. The stimulants deaths that do occur usually imply a preexisting heart condition or something similar.

It's very unlikely that you will die from the caffeine toxicity itself, but rather from the extreme cardiac reaction. Either way, it will be a brutal, delayed experience.

I think that a lethal amount of tylenol (for someone my size) would be approximately 12.5 g, but i'm not quite sure about the results, I'm just looking for sum' definitive.
