I nearly ODed a long time ago, over 20 yrs ago, the doctor who treated me and brought me back told me how close I came to having succeeded. I was mad at him for reviving me, he fired back at me that despite my intentions, his job was to save people, and that was that. I hated him for a while, then when I was thinking more clearly I stopped hating him and thanked him for saving me. It was as much my responsibility for being saved as I didn't lock my storm door, which enabled my mother to come into my place, find me, and call the ambulance. I realize now that my leaving the storm door unlocked was my way of saying, subconsciously, that I didin't really want to die, was just desperate for help, which I received. I was so full of self hatred at the time that I did it in my apt while my two yr old daughter was also there:sad: ... so glad I didn't succeed.:smile:

i took various things when i was younger, particularly memorable was a vicodin od that made me totally sick for days, it didnt work but i wish it would have, it felt like someone hit me in the stomach and in the back, i think it got to my liver and kidneys.
a couple weeks back i was hospitalized for an od on sleep meds, but it wasn't a real suicide attempt, just a pathetic cry for help. they sure helped me!!! fucking forced me to drink charcoal!!!! yuck!!!!!
i highly do not recommend oding as a good method for suicide, esp. when all you've got are meds that will kill you slowly and painfully while you're semi-awake. i have a plan to poison myself which i think will work, but that's a whole different issue.
as far as methods go, if i don't use poison im going to do something quick and effective which won't hurt. od's are painful and they often fail.

Yes, I have ODed before. Accept one time I almost did die, someone called me noticed something was wrong and I admitted I'd ODed, I thought it was too late, but it wasn't a cop threatend to cuff me to the stretcher.. I went to the hospital and they pumped my stumach I had already injested/digested half the amount of pills... Took a couple bottles of something, which I am not saying because it wouldn't be a good method at all and I won't give any out, anyway I lived but it messed my liver up some. It's not good guys, it's not a good option.
Take care all..

yea, several times. none of them worked. the last one landed me unconcious in the hospital for 4 days. a doc was there 24-7 to make sure my heart didn't stop or any other adverse reactions didn't happen.
when i woke up there was a court order to institutionalize me, but luckily we had connections and i was released when sent to the psych hospital.
can't say i really should have been released as i'm extremely suicidal and have been for over 13 years. getting really close to the edge again 'cause feel trapped and like i'll never get better.
i've ended up with several problems b/c of the repeated od's. i can't take certain meds b/c my stomach/digestive tract is so messed up. ended up with a golf ball size hole in my esophegus, liver damage, etc.
can't say i would not try again. it's just about getting the right mix of drugs.
last od, i took prescription meds that would coat my stomach, stop me from vomitting, put me to sleep, kill the pain, and all kinds of other stuff. i was told that they had to cut my clothes off of me and when they put charcoal down my nose into my stomach i threw up all over my hubby. not a pretty picture. anyway i don't remember a thing except taking the meds and after i woke up.

I have taken lots of overdoses :sad: Started off minor and progressed to quite severe ODs. Three of them got me hospitalised on a medical ward for five days. I had the experience of having charcoal pumped into my stomach via a tube down my nose into my throat. It was unpleasant to say the least.. On one occasion I ended up heavily sedated, I found it difficult to lift my head as I was so dizzy (probably due to the severe hypotension) and apparently I was slurring my words. So yeah, don't take an overdose. It's not worth it.
