Overthinking SN?

[Yogih212]

I have had a thought just now regarding SN. Could it be that everyone is just overthinking the method and that really without any extra things added on to it, it's deadly enough? There are literal instances of people dying by eating too much cured meat lol. I was thinking this because I most likely will CBT tonight with just the SN because of my health condition and that I can't wait much longer on the other things that will arrive soon.

It is not necessarily overthinking as extra components are recommended in the PPH for good reason.

• Antiemetic :vomiting is likely and has potentially been the cause of attempt failure. Plus, puking is not fun. An antisemitic can help assure method success and a more pleasant passing.
• Pain meds: hypotension can cause headaches so pain meds are recommended to make passing more pleasant.
• Antianxiety meds: the body panics when dying which causes some people to call for help and therefore increases the risk of attempt failure. Taking something to keep calm helps mitigate this possibly.

You are correct, SN is technically the only thing needed (this gets asked here a lot). However, all of the supplementary components add to the chance of a more pleasant passing and a successful attempt.

EDIT TO ADD:
There are a few places where people do tend to overthink SN:

• Fasting for 12+ hours: The point of fasting is to make sure your stomach is empty so that you absorb SN more quickly. The average person can move through food through their stomach in about 8 hours. Unless you have some sort of GI disorder, fasting for more than 8 hours is not necessary. There are some people who want to fast for longer for some ritualistic purposes, which ia fine, but ia not necessary and does not assure greater success.
• Taking antiemetics the day before: Stan's guide mentions the two-day protocol, including taking the anti-ematic ahead of time. Similar to the fasting above, he mentions this as part of a ritual to calm the mind and prepare for death. However, it is not necessary and is impractical as antiometics will be flushed from the system long before SN is ingested.
• Drastic changes to the amount of SN: Some people think a greatly increased dose of SN will increase chances of death when there is zero evidence of this and there is a chance that taking too much SN will merely increase the risk of vomiting and attempt failure.
• Combining SN with another method: Sodium nitrite has repeatedly been shown to be very lethal on its own, so long as the protocol is followed. Combining this with another method leads to a more complicated protocol which then increases the places where something can go wrong.

I am not sure about the "proper" way but I wonder why I am still alive I still didn't take SN on it's own without anything else. It's not like I need to live much. Pretty sick of overthinking and overthinking about overthinking. Just some 15 min and no thinking anymore. That's all what is needed.
No food, but maybe wine (it's poison too) as one blogger did on camera.
But vomiting anything is not a great feeling so fasting could help. I can also pass out for a while so I could combine it with hanging. So easy. 30 sec and the lights off.
