Please let me know if there's any advice/things I should be doing differently, I'll appreciate all of it. I'm going to be going on the morning of the 19th, hopefully at/around sunrise, so I'll be preparing everything on the night of the 18th as well
Antiemetics
I've heard the method of taking 10mg of AEs in 8-hour increments for 48 hours before drinking SN is just as reliable as only taking AEs right before drinking SN. So I'm probably only going to take AEs once, the 30mg 45 minutes before SN (I've heard this called the Stat Dose Method). I'm using Vomistop/Domperidone because I've heard it has less side effects than Meto
Antacid
I have Tagamet which I believe is the acid regulator but I'm not sure when/how much I'm supposed to take. I've heard 800mg works but if someone knows and could double check please do
Benzos/Betablockers (none)
Unfortunately I didn't have the time or sources to get my hands on any kind of benzos or beta blockers but from what I understand neither of those are essential, mostly just for comfort. I don't mind a bit of pain and even if SI hits me like a train and for some reason I can't do it, I can only see myself backing out BEFORE taking SN, not afterwards. So once I take the SN, I don't care if it hurts or it's scary or anything like that. I'm hoping I pass out from the SN quickly though
Ibuprofen
I've got advil, I've read I'm meant to take 600mg but I'm kind of worried that isn't enough. I don't want to mess with the regimen but I take a LOT of advil, sometimes just for the hell of it and usually 3-4 pills at a time. So I don't know if I've built up a tolerance or some shit and if it's possible for me to take more than that. So I'll be taking at least 600mg of advil 1 hour before drinking SN.
SN
Finally the SN. I'm 140ish lb so I'm going to be taking between 20-25g in 41ml of water (and then having another of that in a backup glass). I'm going to be fasting for 24 hours just to be sure, and then having an 8-10 hour water fast beforehand. I haven't done any kind of purity tests on my SN but I did get it from the old MDS source and I've heard successful things from others so to be honest I'm not that worried about it. Mix it with the water, dissolve it as best I can, then I'll drink it and lie down
Am I missing something vital? I keep going over the megathreads and guides but my brain has been so foggy for the last few weeks and I just can't tell anymore. My main questions are how much ibuprofen I can take, when to take the tagamet, and if I should be taking the AEs in small doses for 48 hours instead of just right before. If anyone can give tips I will gladly take them
