I have 80 paracetamols

[Alexa]

I have 80 paracetamols. 500mg each, what should I do? I could take them all now, I could take them all later. I don't know.

Would 80 be overkill? Like, if I decided I wanted to live after doing it, will it be too late?

40g of paracetamol is probably an okay way, note that you can get resusitated if you're discovered soon enough, but still suffer all the problems afterwards(liver failure among others). you can do it but i'd wait for a better method with as close to 100% sure painless death as it gets, nothing worse than being hospitalized for days and/or sent to a mental institution.

I once took that amount (or maybe even more). All it did was make me very sick. It's harder to die from paracetamol than people think. If you're going to take it, take antiemetics first. You can order them on eBay.

You'll have quite a bit of time to change your mind as you'll die over a series of days. Possibly weeks if you are saved or call for help. Unfortunately, although that's enough to kill, it certainly won't be quick.

I'd try and figure out a different method. Could permanently damage yourself as well.

 

[Tyuiop]

Don't take them, they will cause liver failure and you will either die horribly slow and painfully or end up with damage to your organs. I have read that it takes weeks to die and it's very painful and irreversible.

I don't really recommend OD'ing on drugs as it's one of the least reliable methods to ctb. The chance of surviving, being found, and suffering greatly (even if you did succeed in ctb'ing) is all too high. While it is possible to ctb, it won't be peaceful at all, just like what others have said. I would go for other methods that have a higher chance of success, if you have other options (hanging, jumping, firearm, N, N₂, etc.).

Just been discharged for this method. Don't do it been so poorly with it .

 

[funnyvalentine]

Terrible method. I know somebody who did that, was admitted to hospital after 2 days, there was nothing they could do anymore and the death was excruciatingly agonising and painful and it took a week to die.
Not recommended under any circumstances.

How did the hospital treat that person? Did they shame them?

 

[funnyvalentine]

Not at all. They simply tried to save her life, which is their job. But it was impossible.
Once the body has reached a certain toxicity level no doctor in the world can save you.
The resulting death is extremely painful, it is a nightmarish scenario you wouldn't want to bring upon your worst enemy.

 

[Johnnythefox]

I understand that they can't give you anything for the pain because the liver is kaput.

That's correct.
The consequences of this method are still haunting me, that's why I am posting this. ( And the reasons that led to this particular suicide were also unspeakably horrible...)
Whatever you do, PLEASE don't kill yourself with Paracetamol.

What if I take less?

 

[Alexa]

I've taken 20 before among other things, hospital basically just told me that if I die I die and there's nothing thth can do,

 

[ctbclaire]

Awful way to go or land up as a vegetable. Don't do it.

 

[Bunny13000]

I dont recommend doing this I took 50 before threw up bile for a week. A doctor told me you would need 200 plus to kill yourself. Don't do it you will just make yourself ill.

 

[hunter_lewis]

It will make you sick and take up to 4-5 days to die in excruciating pain.
And if they save you you will have permanent liver damage.
So isn't there some other way?

Terrible idea. If it works you die over the course of a few days and most pain killer s don't even work. However my recommendation is to make sure you actually want to die. You seem to be having doubts. You could try to get whatever's you have treated etc

Fun update, my dad found all the pills and got really mad.

From my overdose I panicked and got help, the pain was the most I had experienced in my life. BP over 150 vomiting doubled over in pain so bad I swore to myself that I would never attempt by these pills ever again
Although possible to die of liver failure with this, the reality is if you do manage to kill your liver and no donor is available you will be in extreme pain as they literally cannot give you pain medication for it in hospital
If you decide to live from my experience I caught it early enough to be put on a series of IV to save my liver, took about two days for all the bags to empty in me.
Cue a screaming partner and him forcing me to lie to get out and not attend any psych ward at least I managed that. Psych where I am is a holding cell, and if youre extremely lucky a nurse might give you a piece of paper to read. Excellent therapy haha

I do not know you and your situation, all I know is that I personally panicked and saved myself by making a call by this method

Bad fucking idea, liver failure is literally one of the worst ways to go. Put down the pills, take one for the headache and leave the rest.

This is the best advice ever regarding paracetamol

10/10

 

[Pineapplecrown]

My suggestion is a new method

Do not do that.
The pain you will have for maybe weeks before you die is hell.

And the liver fails there is no turning back

Didn't read all posts, but .... Let me tell you this.

It's better to stay far away from paracetamol, I've once tried a non lethal dose of 8g, I wasn't well informed at that time (very stupid) because I was hopeless.
From what I experienced, I felt dizzy, confused, had extrem stomach pain (had the feeling I had to vomit).
I also remembered almost fainting when I was walking my dog, I had to stop and lay down for a moment.

Some days later everything started to get better, but I still had a unpleasant smell in my throat.
After a while I did some research on the internet for the side effects from paracetamol abuse, that was the moment I realized how stupid I was.

Paracetamol messes up your liver, it can give you necrosis, basically you rot from the inside.
The effects are similar to poisoned mushrooms like Amanita phalloides and Galerina Marginata.

IT'S A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH, if your lucky enough to die. If not, liver transplant is the only option to save you.

Since I used paracetamol I have the constant feeling something is wrong. No way I go see the doctor, I don't want to know.

Killing myself, maybe, but in one piece, please.
