Hi there. I've been a long time lurker of this site, but never made an account, as I didn't really feel I had anything valuable to share with the community. But after the experience I had, I now felt I had an important experience I wanted to share. Two weeks ago, I followed what I thought was all of the right steps, and failed the SN method despite not being found for 7 hours.
I ordered SN from the Craft site, from the Ukrainian seller beginning with an L.
I had thought about getting AE, but hadn't ordered any, and went to the doctors and couldn't get a prescription for them, so just decided to go without. I didn't use any anti-acids either, or anything to go with the SN.
The reason I am posting this now after two weeks is because I spent several days in ICU, followed by more on a mental health ward at the hospital, and have only just got out.
So anyway, I fasted for 6 hours. I know Stan's guide said 8, but it also said 4 is fine if you know your stomach is empty by then. I was confident my stomach was empty. It was quite hot that evening, so during fasting I did drink a bit of water (maybe about a pint over 6 hours). I mixed 25g of SN, which I used food scales from the kitchen to measure out, and mixed it with 50ml of water. Very quickly I felt really nautious and started vomiting. Maybe two minutes had passed. It just looked like a little bit of water. I vomited again shortly after. And then several times after this, my stomach seemed to be empty and I kept just dry heaving. At some point I drifted into unconsciousness. I really don't know how long it had been. My guess would be about half an hour. I kept waking up with really bad pains in my stomach throughout the night and then quickly drifted back into sleep/unconsciousness. Quite a significant pain, but nothing I couldn't handle. I would say a 7 out of 10.
At around 7 a.m, 7 hours after I took the SN, my mother heard me calling out in pain from the other room, found me blue and came in and called the EMS. I don't remember anything about the ambulance trip, or the beginning of the hospital visit. But I'm told at some point they pumped me full of methylene blue, and that I would have died had they not have done. My confusion is why on earth was 7 hours not enough to kill me. This is supposed to be more than enough time, no?
Please know that I do not have any agenda, and am not telling you this to make you second guess SN as a method. I was unconscious for most of it, and whilst it wasn't painless, I would say that the pain is manageable. Not as bad as having food poisoning or anything like that. I would try this again if I was more confident it would work this time.
One of my thoughts is that I did not test the SN. I know that at least two users on this forum have made goodbye threads and haven't been seen since, who have ordered from the same seller. But nobody has actually tested its purity. Maybe it's not as pure as is required, and this is why I was still alive when my mother found me? I don't want to tarnish the sellers reputation unfairly. I know two other people probably had success with this sellers SN, so maybe it was something else? Perhaps it is pure enough to CTB with, but is borderline, and this is why it took longer than expected? I can see he has disappeared off the craft site now, anyway. Maybe it was as a result of vomiting so quickly? I know from the goodbye threads we have seen that vomiting should not be an immediate failure. But maybe vomiting so quickly means less of it gets correctly absorbed, and nobody has vomited as quickly as me yet?
I cant try and CTB again because I'm now not allowed to close my bedroom door, or leave the house alone. So I guess I'm going to have to suck it up for a while before they ease off.
If anyone has any questions, I'll do my best to try and answer as much as I can. I'd also really appreciate any advice if anyone can think of anything I might have done wrong.
