Hello
I'm new here, just joined, but have been reading threads on the site for some time. An event this morning has been the catalyst to finally joining and taking steps.
With that in mind, I've decided I want to CTB via SN. It's not the easiest way, but seems like the most pain-free and peaceful (in reason) and least likely to fail if done right. I live alone, so no concern over being found out/saved, so it's fairly foolproof in that regard. I'll just have to have the stomach for it.
Exit bag would be good, but I have no way to get a big tank and piping to my home as I don't drive and live quite a way out from shops.
I've read up on Stan's Guide, but I'm struggling to get access to some of the required items and/or I'm unsure of the ones I've found:
I'm UK-based which seems to make things trickier to track down and buy, but I'm sure it's the same everywhere in reality.
Apologies if the above seems obvious/lazy to some, I've never considered this method before and seems like the next best thing after an exit bag. I've done my research but some sites and information is conflicting or at least feels like it is or might be, so I'd rather be confident in my plan by doing what anyone does if they're unsure about something -- they ask.
I feel comfortable talking about this openly on this site, having seen such supportive and kind responses to other people's struggles and questions, so I'm hoping I'll get the same for mine.
Thanks in advance.

I've read up on Stan's Guide, but I'm struggling to get access to some of the required items and/or I'm unsure of the ones I've found:
- Antiemetics - I can't seem to find any over-the-counter tablets with the active ingredient(s) noted (Dromperidone / Metoclopramide / Olanzapine / Alizapramide / Chlorpromazine / Prochlorperazine).
- I have found Buccastem (a brand) which can be bought at Boots. The active ingredient in this is Prochlorperazine maleate - does the 'maleate' addition to the name change the strength/reaction/purpose etc.? Will it have an adverse effect to the purpose I'm seeking to use it for?
- Also, two concerns I have with Buccastem in general is that;
- They're for migraine sickness, not stomach sickness
- They're only 3mg per tablet, not the recommended 10mg.
- Would these two concerns also be founded and therefore I should avoid and seek an alternate?
- Antacid - Would something as simple as Rennie (a well-known UK brand) do the job? The description on the Rennie website says: "Rennie is an antacid which neutralises excess stomach acid simply by turning it in to water and other natural substances, rather than masking it." Is this what I'm looking for? The suggestion is yes, but I want to be sure. No point going through this rigamarole if I'm just going to vomit.
- SN itself - the biggie. There seems to be different variants of which I should buy and the majority of retailers in the UK only seem to sell to educational institutions or businesses. I could buy from another country but I don't know that I would trust what I'm getting, plus I'm not keen to wait for delivery. Advice on this would be appreciated.
- Water - Should I drink still or sparkling? Or tap? ...Just kidding.
