I don't want to scare people from the SN method, but I think the expectations from people don't match what actually happens along with the success rate and possible organ damage.
Having read quite a few medical articles outside this forum, I beg to differ from the "expectations" on this method can be and having read failed cases of sn, all of them had one or more reasons in common for why it didn't go the way it did. I don't know what you think the success rate is either because it seems to be judged from what you saw from the Google doc and that's about it. It's still a very fatal method and possible organ damage is not just an exclusive issue of sn, that's the risk you run with many methods you may choose because you are causing very significant trauma to your body in order to ctb. Some people never ever ctb regardless of what method they have access to because of this and I understand that as a fear to get over which is rather difficult. By the way, these expectations can be driven by people's own decisions to use the method and hope that it works out for them so they can be out of proportion.
Some followed the guide to a t, but still ended waking up which is the scariest part imo. I don't want to take it, pass out, then wake up again with severe damage to my organs
Why they woke up has reasons as well, no one just wakes up from SN unless they vomit for example, there are even some people who woke up from sn because they took something entirely differently, look up
@loopylou case for example. There are instances where people wake up from it due to vomiting and still going unconscious or because they didn't take enough of it because it was an impulsive attempt or took something else. That's been a pattern whenever failure ends in one waking up hours later
Some people also reported mind splitting headaches, severe pain in stomach and altered states of conciousness which is also listed as a side effect of SN poisoning in major studies.
Yes that's true, those have happened but we can't be certain for what those symptoms are caused by in combination with some underlying issues, some people don't have these symptoms at all but yes, I'll agree that the variety in these symptoms can be a reason to not opt for this method as you have. Some have accepted these risks involved and aren't here anymore because they passed a point where this wasn't as great of a concern to stop them from goinh through with it. It isn't perfect, never made it out to be but let's be honest here, not many options are available to everyone equally so this is just one of the options left for someone to consider should they feel comfortable enough with it. There aren't any ways left that we could call completely "peaceful" without regulation/restrictions and more than available to everyone else all over the world. No method is without its risks and whatever symptoms you may experience are part of what happens, they may differ in severity but that's just what we have to deal with.
I need not say more because this topic has been discussed many times before albeit the title may have been different, dragged on and on for while with no objective in mind, how effective is sn is left to the conclusion of what information the individual has gathered and read, if it isn't effective enough for them to consider it as a method then look into something else more fitting to what constitutes as an effective method, there are others who've already taken sn because they thought it was effective enough, accepted the risks and sadly aren't here anymore.
