I've known three people who have tried to kill themselves with pills. This to me is a kind of weird irony considering all the people I knew who successfully (inadvertently) killed themselves with needles. I've learned several things about the process of doing and undoing over the years.
All OTC sleeping pills contain a collective regurgatant, specifically because people do this sort of thing and the pill companies don't want to get sued. The more you take, the more sick to your stomach you're going to get until enough is enough.
Another thing is to not take them all at once. They take a while to kick in and someone might find you before they can work their "magic".
The third is that hospitals fill you with activated charcoal to soak up what they couldn't pump out. Are you going to puke that up? Hells to the yes you're going to puke. You're going to puke black nasty an you'll never get that charcoal taste out of your mouth. If someone was going to throw you a "yay, you're still with us" backyard BBQ, just tell them that's very thoughtful and stay home. One buddy could not eat anything cooked on a grill for years after her attempt.
So now here's a forth and another lesson learned. If you're going to do it, don't ever announce that you're doing it. Too many people care about you to let you do something that dumb.
