Hi guys I would like to run through a plan that I have to ctb. I would like to see if there are any possible loopholes I can plug before I get to it. I live in a place where SN/propofol/barbiturates is not available and so I'm trying to make do with whatever that is available to me at the moment. I've spent a long time gathering these.
Background : I'm a 30 plus year old male around 75 kgs with no significant medical history besides depression.
Plan :
Prepare IV access (23G) for IV metoclopramide 20mg as pre medication for oral meds.
PO verapamil 240mg x 30 tabs (7.2g)
PO propranolol 16g
Grind up, put said meds in a bottle and dilute in warm water and swallow.
Then, I undo the clamp of my IV line which is connected to a 500ml normal saline bag with the following added in:
IV midazolam 75mg
IV fentanyl 0.1mg
IV lignocaine 2% 480mls (9.6g)
I might have to use 2 iv bags to split the dosage up. There is no Infusion pump available.
As you can probably tell I'm trying to get myself unconscious and hopefully get apneic while the lignocaine and propranolol /verapamil kicks in.
I expect the lignocaine to do most of the heavy lifting within around 30 mins while the oral meds serve as backup in case.
Pros : should be relatively easy and pain free. Midazolam could prevent possible seizures.
Cons :
I'm concerned that I may get seizures despite the midazolam which may dislodge the IV line, but I think I'd take my chances by securing it with extra tape.
I'm also not sure if the lignocaine dosage is sufficient. I know lignocaine isn't a popular method and I'd like to hear from you your thoughts.
That's also all the fentanyl I have :/
Many thanks in advance!
