can I be successful with SN without antiemetics?

[sportsguy56]

I am in the US so it is very hard for me to get antiemetics, so I think i'm just going to use SN without them. will I still have a good chance of ctb without ae, or are they absolutely necessary?

They're pretty necessary for SN. Do some research on symptoms you can complain of to get an rx written.

I had some idiots on here saying that they aren't necessary but common sense and research tells us otherwise. SN is a toxic substance that the body wants to reject (vomit). Therefore we would want to take anything that has a high chance of minimising that likelihood. That's why an anti-emetic is imperative.

it's true that using anti-emetics is essential and very recommended, but it's also true that a lot of people have had success with the SN method without taking any.

with that said, though, the PPH mentions that if you can't get anti-emetics, you can settle for dimenhydrinate or even high-quality cannabis.

dimenhydrinate would be used like this: 100mg, 30 minutes before the attempt.

as for cannabis: smoking it (not eating), 5 minutes before the attempt.

Yeah, I would definitely take something that was designed to prevent sickness beforehand. I also heard Nasal inhalation of isopropyl alcohol was good for nausea prevention. Anything is better than nothing at all.

Implementation of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) inhalation as the first-line treatment for nausea in the emergency department: practical advantages and influence on the quality of care - International Journal of Emergency Medicine

Background Nasal inhalation of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) seems an effective anti-emetic for the symptomatic treatment of nausea in the emergency department (ED) compared to conventional anti-emetics (Ondansetron and Metoclopramide). However, it is not yet known what the practical consequences are...

Are antiemetics easy to source in the EU?

I don't know, but I'm surprised people don't travel to Brazil more often to source anti-emetics and SN.

as of 2022, both are available, legal and easy to buy here.

I've seen many posts here that say even with ae you will throw up. It's why having a second mix is handy and people are still successful.
