Method This seems like it would work.....

This method was cited as COD on an episode of Law & Order I saw recently - set up necessary components to hanging - stool, noose attached to overhead brace - quickly ingest a sufficient number of benzos and alcohol to cause unconsciousness, stand on the stool, place the noose around your neck and wait for the 'cocktail' to kick in, at which point you fall off the stool. Presumably, the SI would be minimized which would reduce whatever agony, however brief, is connected to ligature self-strangulation.

Yeah, I tried to do something similar last year with lots of booze + sleeping pills and anti-depressants but the effect of that stuff came so fast that I passed out immediately and wasn't able to hang myself.
Then, my life was hell for 6 months.

It would be tough to get the timing right - too much time waiting and instincts kick in, too close to passing out and it would be difficult to get the setup right.

Sounds like it would work. But SI might also immediately sober you up once you fall. Don't know. But if you're planning on using the method anyways, might as well add this in as a bonus.

I know this is an old thread but this is actually something I'm thinking of. Take benzos, painkillers and alcohol, noose pretightened around neck and secure your hands behind your back so you can't take the noose off. Wait to pass out and even if not stepping off the stool then you'd slump hopefully putting enough pressure on your neck. If you don't pass out you'd probably still become confused or drowsy and might try to move around which would cause you to step off.
