Method Can these medications kill me?

[Cubetty]

So hey, it's me again. I had completely given up on the idea of having a passive death since the SN never arrived, and it's nearly impossible for me to gather enough money to buy it, anyway. Until today. I had a severe headache and took Neosaldina. What is Neosaldina? Neosaldina is a combination of dipyrone (metamizole), caffeine, and isometheptene, mainly used for headaches and migraines. I only took two pills and my blood pressure dropped dramatically. I became a bundle of tremors, cold sweats, and intense dizziness, so I got curious. I'd like to know if any of you have used any of its components in an attempt, or if you know someone who has managed to end their life using something similar. I would really appreciate any opinions on the matter.

In general OD's are fairly renown for being unsuccessful. Especially with over the counter medications. I think modern manufacturers are careful to ensure they minimize the risk of accidental overdose or suicide on their products.

There's this thread but, also others if you try a search that go through why overdoses frequently don't work:

Non-methods that should not be attempted

Not that I'm in any way scientific but, I imagine the problems may be similar to SN. If the body realises it's being poisoned, I imagine it will try to expel the poison- vomit. So I suppose retaining enough of the lethal dose is an issue for all poisons.

I also wonder if the drop in blood pressure you noticed would make you pass out with a higher dosage. So again- same problem with SN. What if we vomit whist unconscious and, can't top up a lethal dose?

Again, I don't know for sure. Maybe someone more familiar with drugs would know but, it's a generally understood 'very unlikely to be successful' here when it comes to overdosing.

I understand your point, but for SN, proton pump inhibitors and antacids are usually used to counteract reflux (although I'm not sure if that interferes with drug absorption, probably), but since the blood pressure-lowering effect is somewhat delayed, or at least it was in my case, I would have approximately 2–3 hours to take a sufficient dose for my blood pressure to drop enough to become irreversible

It sounds like you are possibly allergic to one of the ingredients, none of the active ingredients you listed for that medication should result in those symptoms. If anything, I would think isometheptene would raise your BP, not lower it. All the other symptoms you list fit an allergic reaction too. Could potentially even be an anaphylactic reaction. Was this your second time taking the medication?

I wouldn't recommend it. All the ingredients listed are pretty safe. If anything what would kill you is whatever adverse reaction you had, but adverse reactions are unpredictable. Probably not a pleasant way to go, anyways.
