Alright after months of thinking about it I've finally come up with a plan. I think. I'm posting this to make sure there's no faults.

- Tell my family I'm spending the night at a friends house so my disappearance won't seem out of place
- Take a flight to Paris [about 7 hours]
- Buy sleeping pills & weights
- Spend part of my time doing touristy stuff to distract myself
- Head back to my hotel about an hour and a half before I intend to commit
- Change into a mostly black outfit so I'm not as noticeable in the dark & pack a backpack
- Take the pills and send my notes online, once I start getting tired, leave the hotel
- Head for the Seine, look for a dark area with few people around (this is all after the boat tours would be closed)
- Once the pills have me tired enough that I think they could leave me unconscious while drowning, put the weights in my sweater and get in the water

If they don't knock me out I'll do it anyway but drowning is definitely one of the more painful ways to go so I'd prefer to be unconscious through it. How high is the risk they wouldn't be able to leave me unconscious through it?

I doubt anyone would stop me once I was in the water. You can't see the bottom of the Seine, especially not at night, and tons of dead bodies get found in it all the time. Mostly murder victims and accidental drownings. If people can do it accidentally without being noticed I should be able to do it on purpose. So it being a tourist attraction isn't too much of a concern to me. Not to mention by the time I intend to do it most tourists will either be back at their hotels or probably too drunk and/or tired to notice or care. And somehow I doubt many locals would be going on middle of the night strolls by the river.

My primary concern is about the pills and if they could knock me out or not. I don't want to be conscious when it happens.

But if there's anything else I'm not taking into consideration that I should be: Please let me know.

I don't honestly think that otc sleeping pills would knock you out enough to override the bodies response to drowning. I'm no expert, but I've been on sleeping pills for many years and I just can't see it. I think once you went under the water you'd wake up very quickly.

I don't think sleeping pills would leave you unconscious, almost every sleeping pill (and all that I know of) are just not strong enough to do that even if you take a very high amount of the sleeping pill. however, other than that, I think your plan is very good. I hope you can die without regrets.

My initial thought is to rethink the plan. You can never predict whether the right people will be around to save a body that has jumped into water or if they see a body and are willing to risk it. Exposure is a major cause of failure. I apologize to down play your months of planning but in reality it just isnt the most probable. Nonetheless it may very well succeed.

I wish you the best in finding peace.

I 100% agree with @LookingOverTheEdge and @bubo that sleeping pills will NOT do the job, nope never.

I am NOT pro anything, but with that aspect said, I am around if you would like someone to chat with.

I apologise for going off topic in someone's thread, but may I just say that whenever I see one of your posts, you always seem to have a really kind attitude and demeanour. Just wanted you to know that it doesn't go unnoticed. All the best

I suggest trail testing what you have access to, of sleeping pills, to feel what has the best effect on you. For example, melatonin, can knock many people clean but for myself, It does nothing.

Do you know if there's any possible alternatives that would be more effective but also not too difficult to get?

No but the location does having meaning behind why I chose it so if I see too many risks with this once in the situation I'll probably just find an alternative method and do it in a hotel somehow.

I can't say I do I'm afraid. When I was younger, I remember being prescribed some pills that absolutely knocked me out, but I can't remember what they were. I wish I had some now I can tell you.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. I wish you the best whatever you decide

I know there's still risks to it. If I feel it's too risky I'll find another method and do it at the hotel instead. The main reason I've chosen this specific location is because it reminds me of a girl I know who I wanna feel as close to as I can when I do this.

I feel that last bit. I'm really sorry that life has brought you to this point friend. I know it's not really a comfort, but you aren't alone.

There's a lot of other circumstances. Things have been going wrong since I was a kid. To be honest she's mostly only impacted my choice of location. This likely would've happened sooner or later regardless. But thank you.

Maybe buy some alcohol, it's easier to accidentally drown if you're drunk.

only two options: you will vomit or you will fall asleep but you will not become unconscious
