Method Recent experience with lamotrigine (Lamictal) + propranolol overdose

[miminkpo]

I took about four boxes total of 56 lamictal pills. I weigh about 85kg and I am 21 years old. I was found within two hours of ingestion and I was barely saved. I woke up from a coma after 10 days. I had seizures but don't remember having any pain, I just remember taking the pills, lying in bed and passing out. I combined it with about 200mg of propranolol but I'm pretty sure this method would have worked without it.

Right now I don't have a realible method to kill myself. I still have a box of around 30 pills of 50mg lamotrigine, plus quetiapine and clonazepam (around 56 pills of each). Also alcohol and tramadol. It is very unlikely these pills by themselves will kill me, but I'm wondering if I take everything at once... would that be enough? I don't have anything else available right now and I'm a bit desperate.

Fun fact, the hospital is going to publish a case study of my method since what I tried wasn't done before, as in the mix and the quantity of pills. They confirmed that what I did would have killed me 100% if I wasn't found in time... so, that's that.

Did they say anything about how long it would have taken for you to die if you hadn't been found?

I'm glad you don't have any lasting effects, as far as you know. I don't know how recent this was, but I'd recommend taking a break to make sure your body is truly "back to normal".

Some people do luck out in terms of not having lasting effects, but there's also lots of effects that don't show symptoms immediately, so it's best to make sure everything is functioning normally before considering another risky attempt (where the side effects are unpredictable).

For anyone else reading this, the main risks of these methods are surviving with side-effects/organ damage. I took an overdose of Wellbutrin many years ago, it did cause me to go unconscious, have a seizure and need intensive hospital treatment. But the dosage per person, the time you need without being found, and other factors are so variable with these medication overdoses, and the risk of organ damage that you have to live with if you survive is high.

So I'd never say a medication OD like this is a good idea, even in desperate situations, considering the risks.
