Hello, I've read both the PPH and Stan's Guide but I still have one question.
Background: I've vomited every medication that's been prescribed to me by my doctor because I took it on an empty stomach. I don't know why but if I take anything that's not OTC and my stomach is empty, I'll feel incredibly nauseous and vomit. I can't even take my antidepressants on an empty stomach or else I'll vomit it out. I'm pretty sure I'll vomit the metoclopramide before it even takes affect too.
Can I still die from SN poisoning if my stomach isn't completely empty?
I'm not planning on taking a big meal and doing a stat dose a few hours later. I just don't want to be completely starving so I don't vomit everything out. I'm planning to offset this by taking 800mg of cimetidine (brand name: Tagamet HB and OTC in the US) and increasing the absorption of SN to my bloodstream.
I would suggest it is
very risky to avoid the fasting requirement inherent to
all SN protocols. A number of the
failed SN attempts documented on the forum have involved people who failed to fast properly, either due to ignorance of the need to follow protocol, or a highly impulsive attempt after a recent meal.
Odds are the reason you vomit (only) prescription medications on an empty stomach is because it happened once by coincidence, and you have subsequently
conditioned yourself to expect it and feel anxiety that it will happen on every occasion.
By virtue of being an antiemetic, meto does obviously come in suppository form, which I guess you could consider as an option. Although you'd obviously want to practice the technique of administering this to yourself beforehand, so as not to chicken out or mess it up at the crucial stage.
It's certainly not impossible that you can still die from SN without your stomach being completely empty, but it makes it
very unlikely. It also makes the entire process
slower, which will mean a longer period of suffering before either your death or your eventual survival.
