i have almost no money so i can't buy expensive stuff, nor do i have access to drugs like fentanyl or things of that nature. the only things i have access to are simple painkillers. so i was wondering...is it possible to overdose on them? if so, what are some of the best ones? how many would i need to take, what are the survival chances?

Overdose of OTC painkillers can kill you, but it's not quick at all and extremely painful. The cause of death would likely be liver failure, and, to put it mildly, that's a horrible way to go. I've thought about this method myself in the past, but I really wouldn't recommend it.

I think it's a drawn out painful process. You'll end up with organ failure but popping hundreds of pills for a few days will do the job

you would need prescription painkiller for a overdoes to kill you, no over the counter painkillers will kill you

I wouldn't even overdose on prescription painkillers. They're far more painful compared to the more reliable oral OD CTB methods (SN/Opioids/Barbiturates) and usually require a much larger bulk too.

Former pharmacist assistent here, 10g of paracetamol in one go will do the trick. A few days after that your liver will shut down and other organs will follow. It's definitely not a recommended way to go. There's also an antidote that they can give you before the damage is too bad. (Acetylcystiene). Funny enough I tried this method 10 years ago and when they gave me the antidote I was allergic to it and they have to dose me twice with an epi pen lmao.

Watched my mom die from liver failure which will most likely be the way you go if you try this route. It looked so painful and delirious. I highly suggest avoiding this method.
