Method Took 200 ambien last week

[airboy_a380]

So I took 200 ambien pils last week. Everywhere I read online it would mention that dose would be lethal. How come I'm still alive? I took it at 9pm and was awake at 9am the following morning. No side effect, nothing. Where did those 200 pills went?

It's easy to get tolerant to ambien even after taking 1 pill. I had a lethal dose but ambien has no effect on me after a month of taking 1 pill a day

Bummer. It was so hard to get those 200 pills.

Ambien has a relatively fast onset and is quickly metabolized and filtered by your body within a matter of hours. If you're young with healthy liver and kidneys, that could be a reason why it did not work. However, just because you got away with it once does not mean it won't be lethal next time. But if your body is young and healthy function wise, it's likely you'll survive again. It also depends on the way you take the mediation. Did you down them all at once? Did you snort them? Space them out? Inject (yup, possible but not extremely common)? Did you eat prior? Do you have delayed stomach emptying? High BMI? Taken with alcohol or other substances?

All of those factors play a huge role. Which can explain why you still woke up. What is lethal for most is not lethal for some. That's what makes an overdose from pills uncertain success wise. I don't know if you plan to try that method again, but be careful since you know you already survived one round... your body might react differently the next time and you can still survive but wish you hadn't. Best of luck! ♡

Yeah I downed it all at once, empty stomach no alcohol. I know alcohol would have helped. Won't be easy now to get 200 anymore. Just wanted a peaceful way out. SN scares me. By the way when u mention that I wish I hadn't do you mean some sort of permanent damage?

 

[schopenh]

You don't mention the dose of the pill?

 

[airboy_a380]

You don't mention the dose of the pill?

10mg each. Everywhere I searched said 2000mg would be lethal. I mean come on I could have slept at least all day! No 9am wake up call. Missed the bus.

That's understandable. It scares me too. I orginally thought I wanted that as my method, but I've since been looking at alternatives. I wouldn't personally recommend a pill overdose, strictly due to uncertainly of the outcome... but I know wanting to find a peaceful way out that is fairly easy to access. Benadryl is more commonly higher success rates, that I've seen... mostly due to the anticholinergic effect it has... but it's not kind to the body. You won't be aware once you basically lapse into a coma or brain death, and eventually actual death if not found for awhile. But I still wouldn't suggest it. A lot of the pill overdose cases I get called to are from benadryl, benzos, and opiates.

i have 5 boxes of Xanax 1mg 60 pills each box. That wouldn't kill me. I have Suboxone quite a bit too, but dunno if that would be enough either. I know Xanax won't kill you.

Yeah, xanax needs to be in extreme excess by itself in most circumstances. Not impossible, but not really probable. It's anywhere from 300-2000mg+ per kg to be fatal by itself. You'd more than likely expell them and aspirate... which is unpleasant. However, coupled with another medication or substance can greatly increase this. Again, definitely not recommended! But not a bad medication to keep on hand for si.

Also the above information is based on metabolism, polydrug use, age, BMI etc. :)

Aaaawww, you have Faust's avatar...
Just sleeping during the night seems weird.
I take one before bed, put aside 8 hours, but haven't developed tolerance as it was mentioned...
I still take just 1 pill with the same effects. I'm glad to hear that 200 pills should do the trick tho...

 

[falloutcarter13]

Z-drugs, like benzos, are notoriously safe even with ridiculous ODs. Still, you'd think taking 2g of *any* drug that's prescribed in 10mg doses would do *something*...that's wild. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, truly. And thank you for sharing the info, you might have saved someone from wasting a half a year's supply of their own ambien.

 

[alexit]

I've tried everything. Pills don't work, not reliably.

Benzos (including Xanax) and wine was how I tried years ago. If I'd known what an unreliable method it was I probably would have tried something else. At least I got to feel amazing for the following few days.

Look at tylenol as an example. Do people use it to try to ctb? Absolutely. Do people usually end up doing more damage and surviving than ctb, unfortunately yes. Tylenol can be in extremely low doses, depending on type chosen, but It requires mass amounts to usually ctb. 4g (changed to 3g depending on what you read and where you're located) is a safe dose in total. Some even as high as 6g, depending on if benefit outweighs risk. It usually doesn't, but still, it's a thing usually with older doctors. 10g+ (usually much higher) is needed to succeed... and it's an awful uncertain death with quite a survival rate among attempts.

I absolutely agree, this information might be able to help someone else not make the same mistakes. Xx

200 pills stretched over the entire week or all at once?

Either way though that is insane, I don't know how you're alive/conscious either.

Maybe the pills were expired??

Wow just sucks how hard it is :/

No the pills were legit and in order. And I took it all at once on empty stomach.

Should have done the trick but for me it didn't, so I wouldn't try bothering.

I only took it cause I've read everywhere it was a lethal dose. Now waking up the next day with not even a headache, I wasn't expecting that...

Are you an health officer or doctor?

I'm actually a nurse and a deputy coroner lol

But suboxone should be quite safe, shouldn't it? Orally or iv? Or better methadone?

 

[airboy_a380]

I'm not even gonna bother with pills anymore. Tried it a few times, always end up in the hospital or in this last case just risen like Jesus .

I'm only speculating since you asked "where did those 200 pills went?".
I suppose you know about Occam's razor: (in case you don't, put simply) the simplest explanation should be assumed as a first hypothesis for investigation and so forth (it's usually always the correct one, especially in nature - but it's not always true in macroscopic events).
I'm treating this as unbiased an external observer I can be. You may be upset by some of these, but just know that I don't assume any of them to be true.

1. You're an unreliable narrator. You're not telling the truth or only telling part of the truth. 2 g is a huge dose and one would reasonably expect it to at least knock you out for a few days or give you some sort of lingering side effects.
2. You're not lying but you're still not a reliable narrator. You didn't take as much as you think, or you mistook them for lower dose pills or different pills/non-pills entirely. Or you suffer a psychosis (for whatever reason) and imagined/dreamed the entire thing. Or some other variation like this.
3. You don't metabolise them well or at all and they get flushed right out of your system. Although, I feel you'd have some bizzare looking or smelling urine the next day. But I don't know enough to say that. You'd also never have felt an effect from even 10 mg if 2 g isn't being metabolised.
4. You're from that Facebook group doing a false flag operation to deter people from trying this method.

I can't think of any explanations that aren't more complicated. (e.g. there's a conspiracy against you and you don't remember getting your stomach pumped in the E.R.). Maybe other people can.

I can feel the disappointment it doesn't work it must be terrible.. But at least you could bebglad you had absoultely no consequences, this is what I'm most frightened of. Imagine you would have got brain damage and now you could be severeley disabled in a way you cannot try another try and these ignorant idiots just put you in a facility..

what you said it's ridiculous, I DID took 200 ambien pills all at once, they are called zolpidem in my country. I'm not lying or from any pro life Facebook group like you said. I don't have amnsesia. I took 10 boxes of 20 pills each box, 10mg per pill. And it did nothing to me. I don't care if u believe it or not, since I was the one who took it. Call me unreliable is extremely offensive, I was so upset that it didn't kill me. I used to take 60mg at night to fall asleep,cause 10mg did nothing for me. Either you believe it or don't, I don't really care.

Allright so then I really like that you are in this forum and hopefully open to free suicide for everyone. May I ask your reason for being in this forum? Because I think all the other ones of your profession are quite ignorant, defending life for every price and determine on the existence of other human, even without considering their suffering. Which I find just very nasty. And legal professional euthanasia is even more far away than legalisation of drugs.. It's a shame but majority of people support so what

If you think about it, from an external perspective, nothing you've actually said here, including posting that picture, discredits any of those 4 options. If you're offended then I'm sorry, that's just how the scientific method works.
Think about this for a second, if I said "You might live in Sweden." If you said "I don't live in Sweden." It actually doesn't establish anything. The only way to reasonably establish that you're from Sweden is to get undeniable confirmation of your identity and undeniable confirmation of your nationality. I don't want these things, I'm just showing you how a person stating they are X or Y isn't proof, it's an unverified claim. You may benefit from re-reading my original post and considering that I am writing them with zero emotion; you might be projecting anger onto them or something like that.

I don't feel any anger, nor I have time for it, it's your opinion. I have mine, I'm the one who did it not you. Don't nee anyone to believe it or not, but you assuming i was in ER and just don't remember it due to being psycotic. That made me laugh! thanks for that! I haven't laughed in a while.

I'm here the same reason anyone else is here. I'm not here regarding my career choice, but I will chime in for things I'm knowledgable on. You'd be surprised at how many professionals are for dying with dignity and choice. They can't voice it openly all the time, but a majority of my partners, higher ups, and connections through conferences for mandated continued education are for choice. It honestly depends on the person. But it might have something to do with also being around death all the time. Even my nursing coworkers are mostly for choice. :)

But I agree, it's awful that it's not available to everyone and is only allowed in certain circumstances. It's heartbreaking.
