Help Breathing after SN intake

[olumlazim]

I will probably drink the SN solution at night. I live with my parents so I'm wondering if I would breathe loudly or gasp loudly after losing my consciousness?

 

[opheliaoveragain]

my first concern would be the vomiting?

you're greatly escalating your risk of failure by doing it in an environment where you may be quickly found. i'm not saying it's impossible. breath sounds vary case to case but even those alone in apartments or hotels had a plan for tv etc to cover these sounds.

I managed to get metpamid, but you're right vomiting still could happen. I don't have an option outside of home, sadly. I will have to think about that. Thank you.

Yes, it's possible that there will be some audible signs after you lose consciousness. Agonal breathing, heavy or laboured breathing in the minutes leading up to unconsciousness, vomiting, which is one of the biggest risks with SN, and can be both loud.

Not everyone experiences loud symptoms, but it's unpredictable. Some pass quietly. Others don't. The body doesn't always go quietly, even if the mind is already gone.

Solutions:

1. Soundproofing: Use a fan, white noise machine, or even a loud playlist with speakers outside your door. Let them think you're up late watching something.
2. Timing: Choose a time when your household is fully asleep and less likely to check in. Avoid early night when people are still active.
3. Barriers: Pillow or towel at the base of your door can help muffle sounds. You'd be surprised how much that helps.
4. Room setup: If possible, position yourself far from shared walls or doors. Face away from the door and try to lie flat to reduce risk of choking if vomiting occurs.

If you're worried about vomiting, you must take antiemetics like metoclopramide ideally for 48 hours prior. This reduces the chance of vomiting dramatically and increases the success rate. If you can't get them, it's worth delaying until you can.

I thought that the PPH says to take 10mg x 3 40 minutes before ingesting the SN?

just my anecdotal experience of reading a ton of accounts over the past year, not puking is farther on the spectrum side of being a very likely side affect. the fast is important obviously in relation to this. As long as you cut liquids with enough time, there's a better chance your stomach will absorb any moisture that's introduced, in theory. this is pulled from my own understanding and I haven't seen any scientific back up. but you also don't want to overdo the dehydration, as this can affect your thinking and functioning.

The PPH recommends taking 3 x 10mg metoclopramide about 40 minutes before SN ingestion to prevent nausea and vomiting. That's the final dose in the protocol. But it's also recommended to start metoclopramide earlier, usually 48 hours before, with 10mg every 8 hours leading up to the final 30mg dose. This gives your body time to adjust and helps reduce the risk of vomiting even further.

You're not wrong that fasting plays a big role in reducing the risk of vomiting. An empty stomach is far less reactive, and I've seen plenty of accounts where people who fasted properly and stayed calm managed without throwing up.

Your point about dehydration is also solid. While cutting liquids a few hours before SN can help with absorption, you don't want to go into the attempt severely dehydrated. It can impact how your body processes the SN. A good balance is fast from solid food for at least 6–8 hours and avoid drinking anything for about 2 hours before SN and if you can, stay hydrated leading up to the final hours, then taper off.

Thank you so much!! I appreciate this a lot

Doing it alone seems wiser imo?

Unfortunately, I don't have any chance to do it

If I remember correctly, Funkygibbon reported that his neighbour found him convulsing while unconscious on one of his attempts - so on top of breathing and vomiting sounds, also be prepared sound-wise for your body shaking violently (worst case) after you get knocked unconscious.

I think this is also why many posts on SN method advise plan to ctb in a way where you would not be found for at least 30hours.
