**I want to preface this by saying I know overdosing on medications has a very high failure rate, and that it can be very damaging if you survive it and that it is not a peaceful way to go. I do not recommend this.**
I am a counselor for an intensive group therapy program. Majority of my patients are freshly discharged from the hospital, and I get to read through their entire chart/history to determine if they're appropriate for the program. With this, I see detailed documentation on what happens in the ER/hospital after someone attempts.
I am shockingly surprised at how little medication overdoses can quickly send someone to the ICU, intubated and unconscious. I wish I wrote down more specific cases, but recently I had a patient in the ICU for 12 days after just taking at most a whole bottle of xanax, trazodone, and seroquel with alcohol. Requiring resuscitation and aggressive treatment to keep her alive. If she didn't call 911 right after doing it she likely wouldn't have survived. I've also seen people take multiple prescribed psych meds, but maybe only 3-5 pills each and end up in a similar situation.
So, I really think medication overdose can be more fatal than some people think. It may be painful and a long process, but I think more deaths would occur if people didn't receive lifesaving treatment.
I'm thinking of making a big margarita (after getting high as balls), taking Zofran, and then taking as many of my pills as I can. I'm currently prescribed Strattera, Prozac, Seroquel, Lamictal, Xanax for my mental health and also prescribed Flexeril, Nortriptyline, and Candesartan for various health issues.
It may be stupid, but tired of failing at hanging, too broke for a gun, and can't find an SN source after losing the 2 I had before I had the money for it.
will document when I do it
