This is my only cause for hesitating with nitrogen hypoxia. If sodium nitrite fails, we've had members come back with their faculties fully intact. But the risks with a nitrogen failure could be the same as with an opioid overdose.

I'm undergoing a medical procedure in a couple weeks where I will be prescribed a liberal amount of oxycodone for pain management during recovery, and there's simply no way I would ever contemplate using a medication like that other than prescribed. (Actually, part of the reason I will be placed on oxycodone is precisely because my specialist KNOWS I'm suicidal, and he doesn't want me to CTB as a means of pain relief. Incidentally, making this post reminds me that I need to discontinue naltrexone, so I can be certain the oxycodone will be effective when I need it to be.)

How is it that SN doesn't cause damage if the attempt fails? I read that N is supposedly neuroprotective and this is responsible for it also not causing permanent damage in some cases that were reversed. But surely at some point the lack of oxygen will start to cause damage in the brain.

I'm confused. Opioids depress your breathing. You stop breathing. He must have been rescued quickly and resusitated.

Accidentally overdosing on drugs is a risk.

Opioid overdose may result in horrifying conditions, and it is definitely a good thing to keep in mind.

It has something to do with SN being converted to nitric oxide and expanding the blood vessels. This creates a protective effect in the brain.

I'm no chemist, but it probably has something to do with the fact that SN is a conservant, probably allows the brain tissue to survive for a much longer time, so by the time EMT puts you on oxygen and starts pumping methylene blue, the brain gets operational again without any damage or impairment. Just a guess, there was a SN case here in my city where two guys took SN together and their bodies were found a week later, the coroner mentioned to the TV crew that the compound the men used (SN) had conserved the bodies, that's why there was no decomposition whatsoever to their bodies, they looked like they were sleeping.

It was this case here, it's all in Portuguese though: https://www.diariodecanoas.com.br/n...vem-morador-de-sao-leopoldo-desaparecido.html

There was an article where they even posted pictures of all the medicines they used plus the SN bottle, I believe it was removed after anti-suicide watchdogs caught notice of this case, since I can't find it anymore and on social media many posted about how wrong it was to show all the stuff they used.

It severely slows down decomposition. Only someone who works with SN can answer this properly, but...
Both sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate, along with nitrites, are used to cure or preserve meats by slowing bacterial growth. They also prevent rancidity.

It's purpose is to literally conserve meat, so this effect is expected, specially when taking large amounts of it such as 20 grams.

Yeah I guess it is used to cure meats.

Yes, it's mainly used for food conservation.

Any method that causes death has the risk of brain damage. Most opioid overdoses do not cause long term damage, and there are many orders of magnitude more opioid ODs than SN. You only hear about the outlying cases. Most SN poisonings don't result in long term damage, but the number of SN ODs is VASTLY smaller than opioids.

I have asked this elsewhere but can someone please explain how and why one would not end up a vegetable by failing SN?
If it depletes oxygen, and the brain is lacking oxygen, doesn't that mean possible brain damage no matter the route?
Honestly this is terrifying to me:

Fucking horrific. Jesus Christ just kill the man in his sleep, this is my worst nightmare. Parents parading around their vegetable child, even airing out his life to the public when he clearly cannot consent and using him as some anti-drug dog. Disgusting.

They are trying to warn people. I can't fault them for that. It just leaves some questions about how it happened exactly. Clearly he was found and revived.

Just one mechanism how SN prevents brain damage is because SN causes extreme vasodilation of blood vessels in the brain .

This is the consequences of saving a life at any cost.
He was probably unconscious and would have died.

Someone here was in a unconscious from SN for a couple of hours and when recovered had no brain damage. He woke up in the hospital and made a full recovery.

Your post is full of bad assumptions. Extreme vasodilation in the brain is capable of producing a stroke as is vasoconstriction. SN isn't neuroprotective.

And yet they always parade the brain damaged survivors from other methods. One would have come out by now at least.

Despite SN being popular here relatively few deaths are caused by it. A Google search brings up only a few reported cases. I suspect if we had a bigger sample to study we would find people sustaining long term damage.
