I live in the U.K. so don't have access to firearms. Want to make sure I do it right, I already have a method, but just want to see what you guys think. I am CTB before the new year begins.

Check LostAllHope, they had a chart with percentages involving various methods. Don't quote me on this but I think it's hanging after firearms.

Between overdosing on my iron medication and paroxetine and getting heavy metal poisoning again or jumping from a mountain.

Due to the post I've just seen of iron poisoning requiring a lot of it to do damage (not sure if was your post or not) but the other option sounds more of a guarantee although it's a bit of a grim thought

Most guaranteed method? Eating my cooking. Carry on. ;)

I burn everything I cook, so if you want to save money on charcoal bricks, My stove is often full of them—when my head isn't in there! (Sylvia Plath reference)

seems like jumping from sufficient height, like 1000+ feet or so should be very likely... it's kind of amazing what the human body can withstand, but it's a pain in the ass if you plan suicide

Usually anything above 100ft (roughly 10 stories) is lethal, 1000+ and your body will shatter and your head will look like something from a Gallagher show.

The best method is the one you have very well researched, and you are comfortable with and can see yourself doing, including overcoming SI.
If you have looked into iron overdosing, and you like what you read and the side effect it comes with, and the chances of success (all of these need the research part), then go for it. For me, who has done very limited research on the method and knows a fair bit about physiology, I would not take this method, but if you have done your research and accept all the eventualities and outcomes, then this is your way to go.
I know for example that jumping is a very sure way if done from a high enough place with a hard enough ground, but I can't even jump from 2 steps of a ladder because I'm scared of heights, so no matter what, jumping will not be my way to go.
I think to find your method you need to consider 4 things:
1. Research: What can be done, what are the chances, side effects, time line
2. Availability: What can you get, how long will it take, how much will it cost
3. Opportunity: How much time are you willing to die, how much time do you get alone to carry it out, what requirements does your method have to your environment
4. SI: What are you naturally afraid of, can you imagine yourself overcoming it, are you willing to practice and visualize to get more comfortable with what you need to do
There might be more, but that is what my tried brain can offer right now.
