Hypothetical question about suicide plans for the future

[Stay.Blazed.420]

I heard the fatal dose would be around 2000mg. Just wondering hypothetically if this is a good way to commit suicide. I don't plan on doing it anytime soon, believe me. I just want to have a plan just in case it turns out that way. I've already thought of the exit-bag method but i dont have access to helium.

Would a DXM overdose lead to death within hours after losing conciousness? Sorry for the strange question. I just need to know.

We are not here to help you plan to kill yourself, I am sorry - any replies relating to that will be removed or the thread may have to be closee - would rather not though if poss! I have also changed the title to reflect the fact that we cannot help you kill yourself - hope that is okay. -effie

First off, we're not here to help you kill yourself.
Second off, unless you lack the enzyme that breaks down DXM (most people don't) or are a baby/midget/extremely low weight, that dose shouldn't be lethal for the average man. DXM is dependant on weight (x mg/kg) so if you're 100kg 2000mg is 20mg/kg. People take 15-20mg/kg as a recreational dose (4th plateau) and some need much more than that to get to that level due to tolerance.
The LD50 of DXM is unknown at this point in time. Two medically reported deaths due to DXM (that I know of) were believed to be caused by respiratory depression, something that comes with high doses of (dissociative) anaesthetics without breathing apparatus. A bigger risk is SS, and you wouldn't even need that high of a dose to risk SS.
You probably wouldn't lose consciousness, either, as that's not how dissociatives work. I think it would be in a similar ilk to that of an opiate overdose.
It's definitely not the most effective/surefire way to kill yourself <snip>

^ this is good info on DXM.

However, the bigger picture here is why you feel that you may want to do this. I know you said hypothetically, but to be considering such a specific method makes me very concerned. Do you feel able to tell us a bit more about your situation? What is preventing you from feeling suicidal at the moment? And what is it that you are scared of, to think that you may take your life in the future (and are making plans to do so?)



We really can't provide info on how to kill yourself, I am sorry. Any posts pertaining to this will be removed.

I'll leave your thread open stay.blazed as there are other things to think about here, but if you would rather it be closed let me know. I think it is far more important to be thinking of straegies to keep you alive when times get bad, rather than kill yourself.. after all, you are not feeling suicidal at the moment - so even if you do in the future, it will pass. Everything does, and while we are alive there are always options and choices open to us

I hope you come back to this thread/forum! There are a lot of people who know what you're going through and can be of support. Just remember, this too shall pass. No matter how bad it seems it WILL get better. I went through a period in my teens when I wanted to die and I am SO happy I didn't. I know it sounds hard to believe, but things will be ok. I promise. Just stay strong, get some support, and talk to someone (we are here for you) and repeatedly remind yourself that if you can just manage to get through the tough times they will be over.
Good luck and I hope you are ok
