Does any one know how much one is going to suffer by taking, say, 50g of Tylenol (roughly 100 pills of extra strength)? and how fast? my study suggest if one hold up the first 15hrs without medical treatment then the result is pretty certain. but it may take a couple of days with horrible side effect,I guess nobody here could speak for its efficacy or speed, but how about the side effect? any comments? Thanks!

well, ODing on pills I’ve never done, but I’d assume it’d be bad. if I may ask, why tylenol?
I think it would probably be quite painful.
e-
2 reasons:
1. presumably prescription is out of the question as I am ridiculously healthy, OTC seems to be the only option.
2. the damage to liver is irreversible after a short period during which the side effect is yet to set in.
If anyone has better idea I am all ears-my top priority is looking good after so as not leave traumatic memories
I cannot morally had out suicide methods ( It’s the individuals choice in time and method, I’m only here to offer insight before I go) however, I think you could research more. I know several people on this site know of good books.
You’ll puke before you even get to 20 or you’ll be too out of it to even keep going, I bet. It most likely won’t work.. don’t bother. I’ve tried it. Getting pumped HURTS and they’ll just put you in the psych ward.
From what I’ve heard about people trying this method its excruciatingly painful as its the liver failure that does you in … without a transplant you’re done for. But it takes 2 weeks before you actually die and like I said its supposed to be REALLY BAD!
I wouldn’t do it… trust me if I thought this were a possibility I wouldn’t be here.
What can I say? I can’t say I hope you find a way because the only one I want to die is me.
Even if I were ok with giving you a method, I don’t know of any… they’re all SO risky and can leave you paralyzed or brain damaged.
Ummm I’d like to start by asking why so many people talk of agony and PAIN when speaking of acetaminophen overdose. Yes, the nausea is unpleasant, organ failure, blah blah blah. But is it or is it not a PAINKILLER? Aslo, Tylenol is more than just acetaminophen (which would be the dangerous and potentially deadly component), it also contains diphenhydramine (well, the PM variety does). Diphenhydramine is not lethal, but when ingested in large quantities it does act as a hallucinogenic agent. Like LSD. So yes, the death (if lucky enough to result in such) would be “agonizingâ€, “unpleasantâ€, or in some other way undesireable, but wouldn’t the high/trip help to alleviate some of that? Anyway, thats not even my reason for posting. On to new business: i’ve read many a story, about some poor sap ingesting “large†amounts of tylenol in a feeble halfassed attempt to affect suicide. The overwhelming majority thereof result in failure. For many reasons, but a crucial one would be the vomiting that occurs as a side effect. For this reason, dramamine should be taken as well perhaps? To allow the body to absorb as much acetamenophen without vomiting it back up prematurely. Perhaps if say…. 27000mg of tylenol pm, 31,500mg of standard tylenol, and perhaps 900mg of DRAMAMINE (not to be forgotten, needed to offset the nausea. but the dose could be adjusted in favor of a larger quantity if a suitable suggestion presents itself here) were crushed to a fine powder and stirred into a glass of orange juice (i would think that the acidity would help in procuring a speedier result, but could i be wrong? i am open to comments), to be embibed as quickly as possible while simultaneously taking additional whole tablets of tylenol in a quantity much larger than the maximum recommended 24 hour allowance (hypothetically, we’ll say 30. if possible. or maybe more. if possible). All of this to be preceeded by ingestion of whole dramamine tablets (for the sake of conjecture, i’ll say 4,5,6 maybe?) with another liquid, possibly alchoholic in nature, to allow the antiemitc (vomit-preventing) effect time to kick in before downing such large and nauseating amounts of tylenol. The alchohol would also theoretically aid in increasing the toxicity of the tylenol/dramamine/orange juice cocktail to be ingested minutes (certainly less than an hour, for sure, i would think) afterward. To be noted, I would think that in order to achieve optimal results, this would prefferably be executed with an empty stomache? My question, the ultimate point of this response, is simply: What do you belive would be the lethality of such a concoction? Or rather, the chances of this procedure resulting in a (hopefully hastier) death? Further: as i have stated before, i’ve read many accounts, most of whom did not A: ingest such large quantities, B: did not ingest as much, nor in such a short period of time, and C:most of whom did not consider dramamine (or other such antiemetics) as a possible aid. Because more acetaminophen is ingested, and all within such close proximity (all at once, pretty much), and with the added benefit of antiemitc drugs, and alchohol, would this hypothetical death occur more rapidly? Or at the very least, more peacefully (less painful, agonizing, blah, whatever)? An finally, would conciousness be lost? And if so, then for how long and to what extent (permanently?)?
One final, added note: please do not bother wasting time, space, and energy with some silly “suicide is not the answer, get help†post in response to my question. If that were an answer I’m looking for, i’d have no reason to write anything in the first place. That repsonse is already written here, repeatedly. And this a suicide-oriented/friendly website, right?
