Exploring my options and ODing is something I never considered but apparently it has a very small therapeutic window and I have lots of it. I'd rather not die gruesomely or experience anything beyond the normal levels of awful if I survive so I figured I should do my research. Any experiences/advice people can share? Thanks, stay safe.

Wait woah tell me more about what you mean by the therapeutic window. I have a Wellbutrin script too, never considered it as an option. That'd be hilariously ironic

Basically the therapeutic window is the "wiggle room" you have in dosing. on the lower end, you get no effects and on the upper hand... thats serious OD territory. And yes, incredibly ironic lol. Added plus is that I know about this because I'm studying psychiatry.

I guess it depends on how you feel about seizures.

Found a few studies on overdosing and it seems like any other OD situation where some people drop instantly and some ppl just have seizures and end up being alive but brain damaged
I guess it depends on how you feel about seizures.
honestly, as long as at the end of it i'm gone and it doesn't last too long I think it's not a problem for me. just don't want extended suffering or ineffectiveness lol

According to one big study (by Harvard) in the U.S. overdosing by pills works less than 2% of the time, and when it does work it is usually from powerful opioids.

Found an interesting article describing ER cases of OD. Seems kinda scary in my opinion, but also a wild ride.

Thanks for the info. I agree that from what I've seen it doesn't seem like the best course of action

Woah I had no idea people used it recreationally! Crazy...

There are other methods that work, it usually takes a lot of time and research to decide on a method that works best for a person. Finding peace is difficult but not impossible at all, as evidenced by the fact that 1% of Americans die by ctb- over 3 million americans living today will die by ctb. But for every successful attempt, statstically, there arer about 22 failed attempts. People who educate themselves can greatly increase the odds of finding peace. A lot of people who post goodbye threads here seem to find peace on their first or second try because they learn more about methods. Othyers recover because during the time it takes to figure out a method some people find ways to make their lives better.

Yes, finding a method that works for a person's situation is a challenge- remember, statistically about 1 in 23 attempts work in trhe u.s., and many failed attempts result in involuntary hospitalizations, which can lead to job loss, etc. SO it is a struggle to find a method that works. Do you have uncertainty about whether you want to ctb, is it possible that things could get better somehow? I do support choice but I also support hope if there is some.
