After ingesting SN you would likely fall unconscious in under 20minutes but would you still experience a feeling of body paralysis/ locked in syndrome while fading away? I'm thinking of the people who fall into comas and experience varying degrees of consciousness/ awareness of their surroundings while being unable to move. Just wondering

I've not seen anyone reporting this. I suppose it might be possible that it could happen in the time after losing the ability to communicate but before death, but I don't actually think there's any evidence it does. If it bothers you, then there are bigger things to worry about, like the near-certainty of nausea.

I have not heard any stories of this nor seen any reports talking about this kind of symptom or reaction from survivors. We won't be getting any testimonies from the non survivors so it's kind of an unknown until you do it.

Ingestion of SN by suicide can cause serious harm and irreversible consequences. It can lead to a condition called methemoglobinemia, in which the blood loses its ability to carry oxygen. This can cause symptoms such as cyanosis (blue discoloration of the skin), difficulty breathing and confusion. Organ damage: If not treated quickly, methemoglobinemia can lead to permanent damage to organs, including the brain, heart, and kidneys, due to lack of oxygen. Loss of consciousness: Due to the severity of the poisoning, a person can lose consciousness in less than 20 minutes. Feeling of paralysis: Although a person may lose consciousness, it is not common to experience a feeling of paralysis similar to locked-in syndrome. Locked-in syndrome occurs when a person is aware but completely paralyzed, usually due to damage to the brainstem, not typically associated with acute sodium nitrite poisoning. Neurological damage: If poisoning is severe and prolonged, permanent neurological damage may occur, which can affect cognitive, motor and behavioral function.

No,
after you down the SN successfully,
the effects are somewhat pleasurable even IMO.
I took like 1-2g as a test, because I was mad at the world, my father.
Its like being drunk/high and then you don't puke, don't understand anything, and then you pass out, and die.
I only passed out, multiple times, but woke up, cause I couldn't stomach the whole drink, unfortunately.

I write in my language and then have the text corrected before translating it into English. If you take a look at my old posts, you will notice that they would be incomprehensible without AI adaptation. Even the user's first post on the topic is 97% generated by artificial intelligence.

It's really surprising that anyone would think they need to check texts just to discredit users. This attitude is rather disingenuous.

I have yet to see survivors mentioning that but it can easily be assumed there will be a brief moment of feeling tired and inability to move before death.

I'll echo what others have said in that I haven't seen any of the near-miss attempts report anything like this.

You ask about comas and everyone's coma experience is different. Some people are completely out, some people dream, some people can hear things around them. No one can predict nor guarantee what is going to happen if you attempt leads to a coma.

From what I've seen it's quite the opposite, you'd actually be moving while unconscious and unaware of it

I'm sorry if that's the case
