Klonopin and hanging

[Egddios]

I've recently realized the likely way I'll be ending my life is by hanging, though I'm considering adding Klonopin to the mix. I've attempted twice before, once by hanging, the other by an overdose and exsanguination. At this point, if/when I attempt the the 3rd and ultimate time (3rd times the charm, right?), could I garnish, so to speak, the hanging with an overdose of klonopin? I refilled yesterday and have 50 pills (.5 mg each, so I've got approx 25 mg of Klonopin), was thinking of consuming the kpins and once I got very drowsy, hanging.

Any of you out there have experiences with Klonopin and specifically overdosing?

I could just enjoy the kpins while I have them and then hang myself later on this month.

Sigh.

This all said, I am "happy" to be in a new year. Am I planning on seeing this one out? Too soon to tell really, but I am tired, and I am feeling like despite whatever hopes remaining, much of me has given up. Tired of holding on. I know some of you out there are able to relate.

You could put a noose around your neck, take some pills that will knock you out and let the rope do the rest.

That's what I'm thinking.

Sounds like a great way to go. My backup plan is hanging, but I have no sleeping pills (stuff like that) to make it less painful/make me thrash less. My question is what happens with the adrenaline rush? Are you planning to take all the pills and then hang? Could you wake back up from the adrenaline rush? Do you even get an adrenaline rush from hanging? You are on the verge of death so I would imagine

Did you fail at full suspension or partial? What happened?

It was my second attempt; I knotted the belt of a bathrobe and hanged myself from the top wooded beam of our loft bed (we were living in a studio apartment at the time). I placed a plastic bag over my head and the first few seconds were uncomfortable. the cough-choke response is hard to get through. my husband at the time wasn't home but "had a feeling" something was off. He dialed police who interrupted me.

The adrenaline rush is subdued by the klonopin, or really any type of benzodiazepine. That's what I'm hoping anyhow. I plan to drink wine, take the remainder of my klonopins and loop my neck. by that time, i'll have little resistance in me and I should be unconscious within a couple of minutes. Not dead, but unconscious. Once that occurs, I won't be aware of my body dying/suffocating.

Having the noose already around your neck and being positioned so that you'd naturally fall into place is a good idea. Make sure you wouldn't in any way have the potential to just fall asleep from the benzos and end up positioned in the wrong way, like sitting on a limb. I've read that this can be an issue when attempting to ctb with benzos, and it happened to me with heroin.

I'll play devils advocate here and say this isn't something I'd do personally. Two reasons:

1. If you get hanging down well enough, the lights go out in under 15 seconds and there is very little to no pain. It's not like you're sitting there uncomfortably gasping for air for minutes at a time
2. I wouldn't trust myself to just fall into place after passing out with the drugs you're describing. Obviously you'd set it up beforehand, but I see a lot of room for error there.

I see this playing out like: you pass out from the drugs with noose around your neck. Eventually someone finds you in that state and then you're off to the ward.

I'd say get your materials and technique dialed in for hanging and just go with that. If you want to take the klonapin to relax you or get you over the courage barrier, that makes sense... but I wouldn't do an overdose as it jeopardizes the hanging too much.

If you want more info on how I've found success with hanging, you should look through my post history on my profile.

I'll play a devil's advocate and say that if you fail at it and use all your klonopins in the attempt, you may end up in a nasty acute withdrawal, Not really a good plan. Anyone with any kind of a benzodiazepine dependence should better be sure that their attempt is 100% thought out. Otherwise, the consequences can be extremely painful.

This Is what's stopping me from using my whole script at once, I know how bad I feel the next couple days after taking a few mgs.
