The LD50 for doxylamine in mice is 470mg/kg. Apparently a kid of three years old died after ingesting 1000mg.

Someone here doing something similar: https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/benadryl-overdose.10017/

I know less about this, but i have seen that lethal dose ranges between 25 mg/kg and 250mg/kg.
so it can't kill you unless you weigh 25 kg.
i wouldn't go with it or try to acquire more of them if you want to go with this method.

Sorry I have calculated it wrong. If we consider minimum lethal dose, 2500 mg is enough for 100 kg person(say). Max. Lethal dose might be 25grams for 100 kg person.
But I know nothing about this method well. Don't take my word. Hope someone who knows about this might chip in and help

This is about right. I researched it before; the highest dose someone ever survived was about 13 grams. 25g is a good margin. This is for diphenhydramine. One of the OTC sleep medications is half as potent as diphenhydramine, but there's no straight forward information about doxylamine.

I wouldn't go for less than 5 grams if I intended to actually die. I know someone who would take large amounts for the deleriant effect. I think I had joined in because I can't remember what the dose was. I think it was between 500mg-2500mg considering 24 (or 48) pills times 25mg (or 50mg) each. This is an EXTREMELY unpleasant sort of experience.

My mother recently told me a story about having eaten some plant containing atropine, a strong anticholinergic (in that way, it's like diphenhydramine) drug. She was in a coma for weeks but survived. This is somewhat relevant to the surviveability of such poisoning. And this was in communist Romania at least a dozen or three years ago, so I imagine the health care wasn't very caring.

Doxylamine is an antihistamine that causes drowsiness, and for this reason it's sometimes prescribed for short-term treatment for sleep problems (insomnia). It's not a sleeping pill in the same category as benzos.

I always imagined my method would be to OD, but since I've started researching methods I've realised that it may not be the most peaceful way to go. Excepting recognised drug options as detailed in PePH, Five Last Acts and other similar books, simply taking a large excess of a random drug can have many drawbacks. I've read that:
  • death could take days*
  • death could be a result of organ failure*
  • you could end up in a coma*
  • if discovered and resuscitated, there's no there's no telling what state your body could be in*
I really can't recommend this method. However, If you're determined to go ahead with this, then may I suggest the following:
  • take an antiemetic. Taking a large dosage of any drug can easily cause vomiting resulting in an insufficient amount remaining in your system to have the desired effect
  • make sure you will not be interrupted. You may need to be alone for several days to avoid resuscitation
I would also recommend reading PePH and Five Last Acts, both available for download in the resources section of this forum.


* I found this information in the [Resource] Amitriptyline cocktail method thread on this forum. Worth reading through.
