To SN or not to SN

[Lostinspace]

Things are becoming unbearable and the only thing that gives me a little bit of hope is knowing there's an exit. However, fear of failing is eating away at that hope and having survived a previous attempt (belt ripped after I was already unconscious), I know the only thing worse than living this life is waking up to it again.

So SN was my next choice, but with all the horror stories going around, I'm not so sure anymore. Innert gas would be amazing, but here in Europe everything's regulated and it seems hard to get access to? Definitely no access to guns over here either. Hanging was peaceful once I was unconscious, but I had to force hyperventilation to fall unconscious and into the belt because I couldn't kick the chair away. It was extremely distressing. Partial seems incredibly tricky, never managed to get it right.

Would appreciate your thoughts on this

If you follow very strictly the instruction then ctb'ing via sn should be very peaceful. There are far more successful attempts than these unsuccessful ones on this forum.

I agree and those that fail haven't followed the protocol or have called for help or have been found.

I haven't seen any example of SN failure when recommended protocol was 100% followed.

So I have

-150g of SN (bottle, sealed, sounds clumpy)
-30x 10mg of metoclopramide
-20x 1mg of benzodiazepine

What would the recommended protocol/disage be here (50kgs/110lbs) and what am I missing?

 

[DarkRose]

To be honest, I still think SN is one of the best options. The people who failed on here failed mostly because they didn't follow the protocol correctly. Keep faith!

I think that if it's able to be accessed, I would go with the SN over the other methods. SN is certainly a reliable method as so many have succeeded with it, and it doesn't sound as awful as many of the other methods, there is a reason why so many people choose SN over methods like hanging and jumping. But yes, the thought of failing ctb sounds horrific to me, that is why hanging especially scares me as a method as I would fear it somehow going wrong. I guess all that anyone can do if they wish to ctb is do research into their chosen method.

Personally, I think most of those "horror" stories regarding SN should be looked at with suspicion. You know, pro-lifers making up stories to dissuade others from attempting. Of course, since none of us really know anyone else on these forums, at least in the vast, vast majority of cases, no one can no for certain that the unsuccessful cases are bogus. There is far more evidence of success with SN, especially looking back at threads of a year, or more, ago. It just seems strange to me that so many unsuccessful stories just happen to pop up recently, coinciding with the extreme anti-suicide campaigns that are being waged by the pro-lifers. Just doesn't make sense to me. And the other thing to ask yourself is why would there be such an orchestrated campaign by pro-lifers to either make SN extremely difficult to obtain, or to get it banned outright, if SN wasn't a reliable method of CTB, especially if all known protocols are followed?

I'm still taking my SN. I have no choice. It's Do AND Die.

I personally will be disregarding the recent SN failure thread. The details in that post were a confusing mess that the only conclusion I can come to is either it's entirely fabricated, the OP took way less SN than they claimed or something was wrong with the SN itself.

I support completely and I am a supporter of your opinion. Of course, I have not tested SN on myself, it is impossible and unsafe. But the success of this method has been repeatedly proven.
