sertraline overdose?

[coldcoldcold]

is this a viable option? i tried to research it, but all i could find were side effects of overdosing etc. all i know is that the lowest fatal dose was recorded at 750 mg, but there have been people who survived at as high as 4,000 mg. does anyone know more about this and whether it would be a good option?

I dont think so, it would harm your liver which could kill but if you are treated its not gonna be a quick death at all.

Heres a paper discussing it

Sertraline overdose - PubMed

Sertraline is commonly taken in overdose with other medications or alcohol. The signs and symptoms that develop in association with an overdose of sertraline appear to be minor and of short duration.

I suggest you go through this thread:

Why ODs Fail Miserably (A Guide)

There's still a lot of questions and inquiries about ODs, and people asking about what things may facilitate a successful attempt. Let's be clear, ODs are rarely fatal. Why? For a couple of reasons: (1) modern medications are designed to be very safe, as manufacturers aim to avoid deaths that...

There is absolutely NO CHANCE it will work. I tried it with a whole bottle with other meds & I was found a couple days later passed out but very alive.
Some Psych meds have bad side effects but almost all are non lethal

I agree, you should absolutely not try to CTB with antidepressants, especially new gen: SSRI/SNRI. Tricyclics (first gen) may work, but it's still very bad, practically a NON-METHOD.

if you think about OD, there is only two methods: (im not thinking about OD on chemicals like SN, CO2, inert gas) but like a standard medication you can get in pharmacy/hospital:
- barbiturates (N and others) - which are very hard to get now
- opioids (strong ones, and preferred with benzos) -> you have to take a huge dose to be on the safer side. But it's a good- safe and reliable method (and IMO the only one which you can truly call "OD").

OD's got so bad reputation because ppl try to CTB on wrong substances (like OP proposed) and use wrong dosages / don't use synergy combos/cocktails.
Right now, if you choose to OD, opioid+benzodiazepine is the method to go.

Yeah no, that's just how you get hospitalized against your will while suffering serotonin syndrome. Be careful please.
