I can't imagine it would be that horrible. I mean surely it would just slow your heart rate and lower your bp? Not sure of any other side effects.
My plan is ~4g of propranolol ( I have a prescription that I have been saving up and I'm still scrounging around my room for more) but I also have 500 mg of diazepam/Valium. And alcohol. I get 600mg of Valium a month by prescription. Propranolol is the most toxic beta-blocker because it is both water and lipid/fat soluble and it crosses the blood-brain barrier- so it can cause seizures and coma. In my case, diazepam will take care of the seizures, plus my mood stabilizer is an anti-seizure drug. But yeah, it lowers your heart rate and blood pressure. It seems that the effectiveness of dying from propranolol has to do with the dosage and the time between when you take the pills and when/if someone finds you and tries to save you. But here is an article from a medical journal about 2 different cases- 1 went to the hospital pretty much right after she took them and then another hours after she did. It explains how they work and how ODs on them are known to treat them.
*As a HUGE DISCLAIMER- I'm not recommending this anyone- I'm only going to try this because I have access. If I had access to any opiate or barbituate, or able to get the drugs in the 5 mix thing, or able to obtain a tank with one of the gases or even SN without suspicion, not to mention had the money to afford) or whatever, I do NOT want to do this because I know the success rate is probably 50-60 % if I'm lucky. I was going to do it yesterday, but my situation changed and now I'm not sure if I can get the time I would need in between. Plus, I don't want to do it knowing there is a possibility I will either wake up in the hospital or wake up on my own. But this is just a good explanation of how the process went for these 2 different people.
Propranolol, a β-blocker (BB), is one of the drugs that can be misused for suicide. The clinical manifestations of overdose can range from asymptomatic to neurological symptoms such as seizures and loss of consciousness, cardiac shock, and even ...
