Method Need SN & CTB plan advice for the clueless & desperate - please help

[DOHARDTHINGS24]

Do NOT discontinue your valium or temazepam .....and on the night..... get the nasty stuff down then save half of a new script to put you out. Regards the Paracetamal/codeine pills, too much paracetamal makes you feel like crap so be prudent with it.

Thanks so much. Any advice on the right amount of Valium??? I can't seem to find a definitive answer on how much to take, when to take, whether current usage affects the amount, how much makes you vomit & the timing in regards to SN, particularly if you plan to do a second cup of SN. I definitely want to be calm but the priority is success so I can't afford to vomit or fall asleep. . I weigh 53 kilos & "think" my organs already have a fair amount of damage from prescription meds & genetics.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks again - I really really really didn't plan to still be here & I really hate that I am…

Have a read of the PPEh which is linked on this site. Valium doesnt make you vomit. If it was me......once I had the anti emetics sorted Id start relaxing myself. I believe its covered in a specific thread here, you have everything you need so it will work out.

Thanks - I really, really hope so. This has been a massive struggle for me. And continues to be, well past when I had hoped to go. Very disheartening. Not the decision, that was the easy part…. Thanks again.

Don't know if this will interest you but, just as a layman, I am a strong advocate against lamotrigine and seroquel (except for use in schizophrenia and maybe not even then) because of their notorious bad side effects (some long term) of which I have experienced personally. I just think your quality of life using either or both of those meds will be reduced regardless of your present suicidality/depression and would always suggest to try other meds.
Just one opinion.

Thank you.
I stopped the lamotrogine a while back.
And the seroquel has definitely completely fucked me over.
If I planned on living, there's no way I'd continue to take. If I had the fight in me, I'd probs sue the absolute shit out of some docs & pharma companies.
I was prescribed seroquel for insomnia (I've tried everything from proper compounded CBD oil to hypnotherapy, but because the insomnia has a physiological cause rather than a psychological one, it will not be tamed).
The psych's exact words were "no side effects".
None.
And I believed them.
This was a long time ago.
I would not recommend seroquel to anyone else, ever. I didn't take the Lamot long enough to have a strong opinion. I know one person who had great results. I had zero results, only side effects.
I have no depression at the moment or even, for quite a long while.
But the plan is to catch my bus.
I'm just really fucking late for it.
Thanks again though for taking the time.

That sounds good. I took lamotrigine for 18mo (give or take) and it took A LONG time to recover my memory and cognitive function to its "normal." My mother and grandmother were also prescribed seroquel (off-label) for "sleep." God, just because something causes drowsiness does not mean it should be used as a sedative. Dangerous ignorance... They're just starting to catch on how dangerous it is here and taking nursing homes off of it unless for intended specified use.
Wish I knew more about effective sleep aids but I have hypersomnia. Did ambien and that other popular one not work for you? Nor indica? I think all sleep aids are scary tbh. I know I drank cherry juice for my health one time and I swear it knocked me out. I want to say that made that in pill form but maybe I just made that up.

I had a lot of the same ctb questions as in your post, but I think I got most of them answered using the search bar. Think there's always going to be left over questions that can't really be answered because everything is so individualized to each person's situation and accessibility that the anxiety of not knowing the "outcome" will never really let us feel settled. Is what I've found at least. I'm a total dum-dum btw.

No need to reply! unless you just want to. I totally get how hard and difficult it is to portray your mind on text, both mentally and physically.

I've never been a conspiracy type person until Big Pharma…

I've tried literally everything. It really seems to depend on your endocrine system & the root cause of the insomnia. And what is healthy or legal or available for long term use.

I think I posted this as soon as I joined.
I didn't have the search bar function at the start & didn't even know there was one.
I believed at the time that I only had a few weeks to CTB & and was so anxious & desperate.
I did lean very heavily on the community which shames me. To be lazy or perceived as lazy.
I've done my best to repay the community & "believe" I have done so.
I'll still need more help / I'll still help other people.
My plans slowed down but my bus is still coming.

Me too.

Me too

Best of luck with your bus or your recovery.
