Isn’t ending it with SN an extremely painful way to go?

[limei_11451491]

I've read some posts about people using SN to end their lives, but high-dose poisoning hits extremely fast. The process is agonizingly painful, and you stay fully conscious the entire time until you die. although it kills you quickly, I don't think it's a painless way out.

SN affects everyone differently. Some people are violently ill and feel terrible, some people have very little effects at all. There is no way to predict who will react in a specific way, so far as I know.

You DO NOT stay conscious until you die. Most people lost consciousness in 15-20 minutes while full death takes around 40 minutes.

We get posts like this every once in a while and it comes across very much as ignorant fearmongering. Please do thorough research before posting random claims.

SN对每个人的影响都不一样。有些人病得很重，感觉很糟糕，有些人的影响很小。据我所知，没有办法预测谁会做出特定的反应。

I admit that I said it casually

Like others say- it does seem to vary- how it affects people. I think it's unwise to bank on it being 100% peaceful. That said- I don't think they'd recommend it in the PPH (Peaceful Pill Handbook) if it was 'agonizingly painful'. The whole point of that book was/ is to provide people suffering with (relatively) peaceful means of ending it.

That said- it's a personal thing really. Depending on what kinds of things we fear the most. It's certainly a frightening prospect though. Swallowing a chemical we really don't know for sure- how we'll react to. I certainly don't think it will be all together peaceful. I suppose my hope is for discomfort rather than outright agony.

We don't exactly know how painful any method is unless maybe there are some survivor to tell the tale. Like for example, do people whose face got ruined by gun feel the bullet in their face when they did it, or how painful drowning really is. But since most people aren't able to survive such attempts not many exist to share their story. Hanging is reported to be quick and not so painful on the exception that you got it right.
SN poisoning may include severe headache, nausea, throat hurting, stomach pain(some people even reported a burning sensation on their insides). Based on video evidence it doesn't seem extremely painful, although no one knows for sure since it's an unnatural way to die.
Other poison is far more painful where a person may suffer for hours or even days before finally passing. Sorry for any bad wording, English is not my 1st language
