I once tried about 1 gram of sodium nitrite.

Fell asleep because I couldn't eat the rest.

About an hour later, I felt like I had problems breathing. Like no matter how hard I took a breath in, I couldn't get enough air. Heart started beating strangely.

It made me panic a bit because if it was any more intense, I'd essentially be suffocating to death. And it's not a pleasant feeling.

I felt weak too. Extraordinarily weak.

I can't imagine taking 25 grams. If it's not quick....if I'm basically suffocating for 5 to 10 minutes and gasping for air until darkness envelops me, that's not gonna be a pleasant way to go.

The ideal would be to drink a swig. Maybe feel a bit sweaty and clammy. Anxious. Throw up a little bit (everybody almost always throws up a little), then pass out with a momentary feeling of horror and weakness. Then bliss and rest.

Not, "Oh my god I'm suffocating, I can't breathe...mom...dad...please God, no...I'm fading...I'm fading..."

There are not any report about feeling suffocating after SN. Its hard part is after unconsciousness like N.

In case of fear taking Diazepam or even valerian tincture before SN might help.

i do believe the higher doses result in rapid unconsciousness

the lower doses can result in death but its a longer drawn out process
