Can you be saved without permanent damage with SN?

[itistimetoleave]

My biggest concern is what if someone saves me and I am left as a vegetable. Right now, I have no physical disabilities but what if I end up in a worse situation?

That's an excellent question. I wonder myself what the aswer is. I know if you're not found you should be safe.

Watching the thread for an answer. I recall reading that yes, but then again, I'm also stoned as hell thanks to my meds, so don't take my word as truth.

death is due to methaemoglobinaemia, and googling for "methaemoglobinaemia survival" brings up one case of a 23-year-old who survived intentional ingestion of sodium nitrite -- i expect this has been linked elsewhere -- and a case of a 36-year-old who survived poisoning with dapsone (which causes methaemoglobinaemia; and olanzapine, which doesn't). the latter patient was in a coma and required eight days of intubation, respiration, etc. but both were discharged with favourable outcomes. another dapsone overdose with a favorable outcome in a 3-year-old (again, methaemoglobinaemia).

in the discussion section of this article from above, several sources are cited listing symptomology, survival, and mortality cases for various MHbA levels. symptoms of methaemoglobinaemia vary between degrees, but seizures are indicated at higher degrees, which may lead to complications as i understand it. re brain damage, this article reports on a 17-year-old who died of complications including a toxic brain injury resulting from methaemoglobinaemia, as does this article reporting on a 56-year-old; brain damage [is] inevitable but i couldn't dig up any survival cases.

i'm no science is scary but hopefully i haven't mangled anything too badly. if i have, i will delete this post.

Sorry for the off topic, but can we delete posts?

yes

Methemoglobinemia prevents effective transportation of oxygen to vital organs. Including the brain. So yes, you can get brain damage if you fuck up.

What do you mean if you fuck up?

 

[BPD_LE]

What do you mean if you fuck up?

If you are found alive.

 

[khw777]

If you are found alive.

What if just use tagment. I can't find metro

 

[BPD_LE]

May work, may not. No way to be sure.

 

[notjustyetagain]

so i guess it follows that -- given sufficient quantities and not being found alive -- it will ensure death? luckily i'm almost wholly incapable of vomiting after years of drinking methylated spirits.

SN has one of the safer outcomes incase you are found, if you're really worried you can have a backup plan as well like a plastic bag. Best of luck!
