Hello, I've seen many articles saying that you can't die from an overdose of Prozac, but what if you take a mix of large quantity OTC things like aspirin, painkillers, and Prozac, then wash it all down with alcohol. Would that be effective? I have over 1100mg of Prozac and am thinking October might be my due date off this Earth.

If you take a large cocktail of "stuff" without knowing what or why, you're highly unlikely to succeed, highly likely to end up in serious pain, and may well end up suffering permanent damage. Your specific suggestion has about a 0% chance of fatality, unless you end up drinking enough alcohol to die of alcohol poisoning, in which case all the other pills aren't going to help, but might cause permanent liver damage in the overwhelmingly likely case that you survive.
Prozac is basically impossible to fatally overdose with (same as other SSRI antidepressants, and most modern antidepressants in other classes), but can cause Seratonin Syndrome. Not bad enough to be fatal, but bad enough to be agonizing.
You also don't have enough there to give yourself much of an overdose. When I was on Prozac (briefly), I took 300 mgs a day, and ended up mocing onto 400 mgs a day of each of two other complimentary antidepressants instead of Prozac. So... yeah, 1100 mgs of Prozac is not a lot.
OTC prescriptions these days are also not a good choice, as they're almost impossible to fatally OD with, even in combination with other drugs. Swallow a bottle of sleeping pills, a bottle of aspirin and a bottle of liquor, and all you're going to do is end up in a psych ward with a stomach pump, a pounding headache and some liver damage (Acetaminophen and alcohol combine in the liver to create a compound that causes liver damage, but ultimately isn't fatal, and I don't imagine anyone wanting to spend years dying of liver failure, either.)

I recently sliced my wrist but I clotted fast. I basically want to suffer when I die. I've had thoughts about cutting off my face and watching myself bleed out, or cutting my throat deeply with a razor and hopefully hit the artery. I have many ideas of ways to die, but I just want to suffer. That's the goal

Nothing I can recommend, as my goal and focus is on relieving my suffering, but in many older societies, suffering was part of the point in ritual suicides. Seppuku comes to mind, as does the Roman tradition of falling on one's sword or the ancient Christian tradition of preferring death by crucifixion (which is a days long process of suffocation) over quicker executions. Come to think of it, some more modern examples of excruciating suicides come to mind as well (self-immolation, ingesting certain chemicals, etc.), but I'm not a resource for that, and would be petrified at the prospect of being saved by modern medicine to live in a permanently disabled or disfigured state.

Yes please do not do random cocktails as explained above. Also, I'm sorry that you want to hurt as you ctb.
I do, a bit, too. I want my heart to hurt. For once, it won't be emotional pain that squeezes it, but actual approaching death.
