Wouldn't an extreme dose of this combined with alcohol slow your heart-rate?

 

[Qbert]

You can but it's difficult.

I found this but no mention of the dosage, just the concentration in his system when he was discovered so no idea how much he took.

Found some more info which seems contradictory.. so up 30g don't result in death but 13.6g has resulted in death.... anyone got any idea if I'm misinterpreting this info or..?

"Some signs and symptoms of a quetiapine overdose include sedation, drowsiness, tachycardia, and hypotension. Clinical trials demonstrate that overdoses of up to 30 grams of quetiapine did not result in death. A lethal outcome was reported in a clinical trial after an overdose of 13.6 grams of quetiapine. In the case of an acute overdose, ensure to maintain an airway and provide adequate ventilation and oxygenation. Gastric lavage following intubation (if necessary) along with activated charcoal and a laxative may be considered. The possibility of obtundation, seizure or dystonic reaction of the head and neck following overdose may create a risk of aspiration with induced emesis. Cardiac monitoring should also take place."

Did you find that alarming or painful? I am still tempted to try because I have quite a bit of the stuff

it was strange, annoying too, as I just wanted to sleep, which quetiapine makes you sleepy, but a twitchy body means you can't even rest, I was doubly exhausted. Oh and the hallucinations were bloody strange as well,

Sounds unpleasant, what were your hallucinations? Do you remember how much you took?

Not sure how you mean?


If anyone else has tried ODing on this, what did you experience? It's really the only substance I have access to right now along with some codeine.

OD significa sobredosis, estoy preguntando si alguien tiene una experiencia con esta medicación porque hay una gran variedad de publicaciones diciendo cosas diferentes y hay personas aquí quienes han tenido más experiencia que yo con esto. Es posible morir así, pero no es muy probable. No sé que cantidad necesitaría.

Sabía lo de OD, pero tú lo has mejorado usando el gerundio, cosa que está muy bien, indica tu sed de sabiduría. Dudo que te puedas matar con Quetapina, pero si no lo consgues con 1 grm de pentobarbal, ni con 5 gramos de diazempan, lo consgas, dudo que lo consigas. Perro lo importante es que no te hagas daño, eso es lo verdaderamente importante.

No sé si es fácil comprar pentobarbal, parece un poco complicado..

Esa es otra historia, y discrep, es peligrosamente fácil.
Por ahora, no te hagas daño, ni merece la pena, ni vas a ganar nada, sólo que te encierren en un psiquiatrico.
Matarse es un proceso lento, no ocurre mañana porque a a algún majara se le ocurra comerse cualquier mierda.
Reflexiona y busca un método que te permita auto liberarte de una forma digna.

NO-TE-HAGAS-DAÑO. Por favor.

I don't understand how you can't OD on this.

The reason why it is difficult to overdose on Quetiapine is because overdose can be managed in the hospital setting by supportive measures like gastric lavage and activated charcoal, effectively increasing the elimination and reducing absorption of this drug in the system. Overdoses of as much as 36g of Quetiapine have been reported but effectively managed in this way.

So the key is to not be discovered?

I think that would go a long way to being succefull, but its not entirely that straight forward. Compared to other antipsychotics quetiapine has been reported to be relatively safer in overdose regardless of whether you are found or not. Some attempts to overdose using Quetiapine just "resolve" themselves. Overdoses are characterised by the symptoms that present when that particular drug is taken in excess of what is prescribed. Some of these symptoms for instance include hypotension, tachycardia, and somnolence, the degree to which is determined by the serum concentration of Quetiapine. What research tells us is that many of the symptoms we see following overdose of quetiapine are not as severe as those seen in other atypical antipsychotics and therefore why it is referred to as a much safer drug to overdose on.

Okay, I understand a little more clearly now. There's a report of one fatal ingestion of just 13.6 grams but I suppose maybe that person had something else wrong with them? What do you think re that overdose which seems a very small amount?

 

[Deathcabforugly]

I've tried this method too. A months worth of seroquel and a months worth of a blood pressure medication. Statistically, overdoses rarely work

What happened to you, were you found or just woke up a while later?

 

[Deathcabforugly]

I was found and sent to the hospital 24 hours later. I wasn't making sense when talking according to my girlfriend. I Almost had renal failure but made a full recovery. I woke up to a greater hell than before: psych ward, covid 19.

Are you still in psych? Sorry they're awful places I got out of one just before the lockdown.

 

[Oh so tired]

I had a recent (very impulsive) overdose on quetiapine, Clonazepam and citalopram. I just went into a really deep sleep and was unrousable. I was found and taken to hospital. Apparently my breathing was very slow and I was ventilated. I recovered fully but have no memory of that day or previous few days.

No Im out of the psych ward. They are morons, they released me 3 days later still suicidal and now I'm looking for a new method. That was a month ago.

 

[BridgeJumper]

Because it wont kill you.
Trust me, Ive tried.
It was awful, I had hallucinations of bloody people, white flashes in my eyes, my heart was beating 170 beats per minute, my eyes were moving sideways, I kept falling till my body was a mess of purple bruises, got a hose shoved in my throat and still was throwing up till there was absolutely nothing left in my body.
So even if you do die, its gonna be painful as fuck

Ive tried, it doesn't work Sadly.You become very slow and drunkish, to be honest when I took the OD I kinda enjoyed it because for the first time in ages I was away from reality.
