Amitriptyline

[Ednospatient]

Hypothetically if I was able to acquire Amitriptyline, which I seriously doubt, would it kill on its own (no cocktails needed?) and how much would I need to take?

 

[Talvikki]

10 gram

 

[Lollypop24]

10 gram

I have 4200mg so 4.2 grams. Will this be enough

I have a couple useful links for you:

1: Archive of the ASH Wiki guide to Amitriptyline

2: The Peaceful Pill eHandbook, which is a book that has an entire chapter dedicated to amitriptyline.

and also, I wrote about it:

The Peaceful Pill eHandbook (PPH) recommends using benzodiazepines to render the death peaceful.

like this:

- 30mg of metoclopramide (taken 40 minutes before drinking the cup of amitriptyline, to prevent vomit¹)
- 8.000-10.000mg of amitriptyline (dissolved in a cup of water, to make drinking easy)
- 300mg of diazepam (long-acting benzodiazepine²)
- 300mg of midazolam (fast-acting benzodiazepine³)
- 2.000mg of cimetidine (which reduces our body's ability to metabolize amitriptyline)
- vodka or other hard liquor (which removes the bad taste from the mouth and increases the central nervous system depression).

(in this order)

you can use vodka to swallow the pills (except amitriptyline pills)

¹metoclopramide can be replaced by domperidone (20mg, taken 1 hour before drinking the amitriptyline drink).

if you can't source metoclopramide or domperidone, you can settle for a second-line anti-emetic, like dimenhydrinate (100mg, taken 30 minutes before drinking the amitriptyline cup), OR high-quality cannabis (smoked, 5-10 minutes before drinking the amitriptyline cup).

²can be replaced by other long-acting benzodiazepine (with long half-life).

³can be replaced by other short-acting benzodiazepine (with short half-life). if in doubt, you can search online for a benzodiazepine equivalency table.

- remember to do it in a place strategically chosen in order ensure that it's unlikely or impossible that you're gonna be found prematurely. you need up to 36-48 hours alone.

- amitriptyline is very reliable.

- its cardiotoxicity combined with its sedative properties make it a very good end-of-life agent.

- although people have died after taking lower doses of amitriptyline, it's recommended to take at least 5.000mg.

- amitriptyline pills should be dissolved in a cup of water. to do this, you just need to put them in a cup, add water and wait - it will dissolve by itself. you can stir the cup if you want, too. there's no problem in using a big cup and a relatively big amount of water.

but not answering your questions:
1) amitriptyline is the lethal component of the suggested cocktail. in other words, yes, amitriptyline kills even by itself. the benzodiazepines are suggested as ways to "render the death peaceful" (according to PPH)

2) you need at least 5g. PPH used to suggest 5g in the past. now they changed their suggested dose to 8-10g, to make the death more reliable.
