Can I ask you to briefly tell me what symptoms and consequences Nitschke is talking about? I don't speak English, I use a translator.
Even if Nitschke mentions terrible symptoms, please tell us about them too.
Sorry for my request.
I'll understand if you don't want to write about it. We all have so little vitality here
Here is a transcription of sections pertaining to your question. It is a two part series. I reviewed the first episode and will do the other soon. It has a section I want to transcribe that is an example of a first hand account.

Episode 4 - Lethal Salts and the Law
[episode from 2020]
Q: What sort of death does SN provide?
Nitschke: It's about how it brings about death that brought attention to its use. The way it works
What happens when you drink it is that it effects how your blood carries oxygen, which leads to cerebral hypoxia. This is fact is a happy hypoxia, because of the fact that there is no accumulation of carbon dioxide. [The subject of happy hypoxia is covered in another episode.]
Eye witness accounts overview:
- go into a period of being increasingly unresponsive (about 5-10min)
- 15 mins unconscious, during this period becomes quieter and quieter
- stops breathing
Those who are present have said that the person passing is quite comfortable. There is a change of color.
It's not particularly noticable. If the person is old and quite sick [like most Exit members], it is quite common for a doctor to say the death was natural. Although, it has also been noticed.
(Refers to handbook for more detail.)
[There is discussion of legal news about SN and how it was discovered as a method.]
[The rest of the episode discusses S azide]
