Amitriptyline

[freeanxiety]

Hi I noticed that pfp handbook recommended Amitriptyline as one of the methods, or not recommended but at least mentioned it and gave the method decent scores.

It seems on this forum that its listed as a non method that should not be tried however so I would like to know what people think of the exact method used in the handbook.


Edit: checked the 2025 PPeH version and amitri only had a 6 in reliability and not great peacefulness either.

I'm not super sure but I think this method is not common due to the staggering number of pills needed to achieve lethal level.

This is possible but do you think thats because they think its hard to get thst many pills? Because they often get sold in packs of 100 and I think you need 150-200 50mg pills.

Yes, that, along with the process of consuming hundreds of pills to end your life. I personally can't bring myself to do it.

OD'd on antidepressants, paracetamol and "legal" highs... none of which were a good time. Just got extremely ill. I don't know how much you need to make it successful with OD or how hard the drugs need to be.

The thing with this one is that it makes you sleepy. It also has a pain numbing effect. The fact that PPeH recommends it somewhat is quite interesting. Its quite different from other antidepressive drugs.
