You're prepared to go five times the potential lethal dose. I tried ibuprofen, then decided I wanted to live, and now I have kidney, liver, stomach, and sight problems as well as nerve damage. Overall not very effective and the very aftereffects of it all have me wanting to try again. In short; the only CBT by ingestion you should feasibly be doing is SN

Overdosing is not a reliable ctb method. I think many people use this method impulsively when they are at a point of desperation, it is well known that it is not recommended. There has been many failed attempts. It must be awful to have damage, I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I wish you the best.

Ibuprofen survivor over here as well. OTC meds are ridiculously unreliable, even if you calculate and go over the 'fatal' dose for your weight, you'll probably just come out with permanent damage... not worth the tiny chance of it actually working. I'm sorry you've been through that too, wishing you the best.

I'm sorry to hear you have ended up with problems from your attempt,
I've Overdosed on paracetamol a lot of times but had two major ones, one in 2017 and one in august just gone and then a sleeping pill one too in September.. my liver nearly failed on both occasions although this time I was on the NAC for 7days solid..
i am fighting the urge to use paracetamol again, I know my liver won't survive a 3rd major od! I've got 62 paracetamol that I just look at.. if I knew they would finish me off I would take them right now!
So I have moved on to a new method now.
I wish you well

An overdose can work with

- the right type of drugs - heroin, fentanyl, benzos - and the right amount of these drugs


- if you have at least 12 to 24 hours of uninterrupted privacy (if you don't have that kind of privacy at home then check into a motel room or find a reliable private place, wherever that may be )

- if you have fasted 20 to 24 hours, take an anti-nausea drug like Dramamine on your empty stomach and give it an hour to work (Dramamine has a sedative effect)

- then consume your drugs with wine or a stronger alcohol like vodka and then put a plastic bag over your head and go to sleep

People have succeeded with over the counter drugs but you'd have to follow the above model, probably take a massive amount or find the right combination, which would take research.

People have died from what is known as the Benadryl Challenge. Taking too much Benadryl is dangerous but I don't know what the exact circumstances were in these fatal cases.

Swallowing too much hydrogen peroxide can also be deadly.

Whether it's benadryl or peroxide, I don't believe either of these methods provides an easy death, death with these methods sound like it would take time and be painful and uncomfortable and the same probably holds true of all over the counter methods.

With OTC pills that model wouldn't work, even after ingesting a massive amount you're looking at potentially a couple of days of being very aware as your organs shut down. And if you fail the consequences are lifelong and unpredictable. I found nothing about it online, but after my overdose I've gone and suffered a spinal cord injury which is making my limbs weak and giving me problems with movement, that's with ibuprofen at least.

I'm so sorry for having been driven to wanting to ctb and for the damage you are living with. I'm truly sorry. I hope you continue to recover, I hope you begin to regain your health my friend.

I think you're right about OTC drugs. You're very aware of the process and they're an unreliable method. Not a fast or peaceful way to end an already painful existence.

It wasnt a spinal injury but multiple nerve damage. on top of that I seem, since making this thread, to have developed some sort of rheumatoid arthritis which is drying my eyes out and my stomach is a constant pit of gastritis that's really difficult to cure. this from only 40 pills and a bit of alcohol. if anyone you know wants to ctb by this method let them know they're in for a world of damage

Pretty sure most people wouldn't survive shooting 2g of H or 200mg F iv.

Don't bother od-ing on pills or otc medicine.

I take metoprolol for a heart rhythm condition. I've been thinking that may be my way to ctb. I get a 90 day supply of it at a time. That's 180 25mg tablets. If I took all that it would definitely slow my heart rate down to zip and I would have zero blood pressure. And with that much in my system, I don't think any amount of dialysis or cardiac pacing will help.

I don't recommend it at all. You're more likely to suffer from more severe cardiac problems then to successfully ctb that way so please don't do it.

I don't know. I'm a critical care nurse and I've researched it. Knew of a nurse who did this last year. I normally take 2 tabs a day and my heart rate is in the 60's with a low normal blood pressure. If I take 180 tabs when my family isn't around I should be good to go. But I'll do more research.

Yeah, overdoses are notoriously unreliable. Saying that, I know someone, who did take shit loads of valium and other drugs and he died. So it is possible but over the counter pain pills and such are a terrible idea for overdosing.

Benzos combined with other drugs can kill you. Like methadone and xanax
