Any thoughts on overdosing on amygdalin pills?

[Syriancel]

I live in a country where it's difficult to obtain drugs. As a last resort, I have been considering amygdalin pills. I have ordered 60 500mg amygdalin pills on the Internet and I wonder if it would be a reliable method to kms. What do you think?

As Cake replied above, overdoses are not normally recommended. The body is incredibly resilient and fights hard to get rid of poison. That being said, as this turns to cyanide in the gut, there may be a chance.

Here is a case report of a 33-year-old who took 20g amygdalin powder and lived with medical intervention:

You will have 60, 500mg pills which will give you 30g. IF you could get them all down and not call emergency services, you might succeed, but that is a big if. Sixty pills is a lot of material to swallow and could lead to an upset. You would also have to wait out a pretty horrible death as the pills would be digested slowly so you would be poisoned over a longer time.

All of this to say there is no way to tell if this would work or not. Overdoses are risky and unpredictable.

Anygdalin will kill you if you ingest enough of it. However, 30 grams may not be enough. The LD50 in rats is said to be 880 mg per kg of body weight.
