Story Failed attempt with topiramate

[oneonenine]

This was a few years ago, but wish I had seen something similar to this before I'd tried.
I took 240(ish) 75mg tablets I had saved up, I'd read studies and seen a couple of fatalities, the volume alone made me think it would be enough. I was so wrong, easy enough to swallow them all, then anxiety, an ambulance. Lost all sense of reality, everything was size distorted, physically picked up somebody and was panicking + confused saying I didn't know where to put them down, ripped IV's out, more panicking and shouting, blacked out, woke up after treatment the next morning and was fine to go home.

Lesson learned, ineffective, unpleasant and embarrassing.

I always try to tell people the unaliving yourself with pills is not nearly as easy as it looks. You can take 50 times the amount that is considered a fatal dosage and get nothing but your stomach pumped and bedbound for a week.

Thank you for sharing because I don't think anyone wants to be in pain.

This is something I found so odd because my father ctb with blood pressure meds and alcohol. Not sure what meds though be it beta blockers or something else. He was in a 3 day coma and then died.

Other people down a crap ton of pills and manage to survive. The body can be very resilient at times.

Honestly I'm glad you brought that up, because my ex-wife's mother killed herself with blood pressure medication and alcohol... But instead of it being short-term she had a series of strokes that were induced by the combination and she became quadriplegic and died a year later because her bed sores developed MRSA.

I don't want anyone to be in pain but I will say the way she passed away definitely made me reconsider the gamble of surviving suicide.

Do you have any lingering side effects so far as you can tell?
