Nytol contains a sedative called Diphenhydramine. When I take nytol I feel sleepy and drunk its really powerful for me now if I take 100 + I will sleep forever

I have been living with anoxeria and bulimia since 22 I am tired of this illness. The panic attacks are just too much I finally done fighting. I want the mental pain to stop. I have never attempted suicide but this is the closet I have. I am going to every pharmacy and buying 100 nytol pills. When I was addicted to nytol I knew how to jump one pharmacy to another.

I am tired of these anxiety attacks and always stuck between the fictional world in my head and the real world

Overdoses you hear about in the news are the rare exception to the rule. Prescription and over-the-counter drugs do not kill you unless you have a very rare pre-existing condition.

To begin with this method is not a good idea at all. Because diphenhydramine overdose makes you very unpleasant. And it is not reliable.
You need to take more tablets. In Japan, a girl died with 12,000mg (10mg * 1200 tablets) (link Japanese). Some of Japanese suicidal X users have realized 1200 tablets are needed to die. But I heard a person survived this amount of tablets. I believe you will survive 2,500mg (nytol 100 tablets).

Doesn't sound like a good idea even with strong drugs it's hard to ctb surely. Antihistamines are definitely not that, like paracetamol it's a not a good method

I tried this way. Even mixed with alcohol it didn't work/was very unpleasant. But also the ambulance showed up, so who knows what would have happened if it didn't.

Firefox, although most suicides attempts fail, from what I've read of your post, you probably won't fail if you attempt.

You are also doing pretty well in life, you're just super stressed. You need to find a group support for other people with eating disorders. You need to get more help. Don't attempt now when you are doing better.

I've read your posts here and there, you're making a lot of progress in life and just have a lot of anxiety. You need more support. I really think a DBT group would also help. Please don't do anything like the sort of OD you are mentioning. I am pro-choice, but you're life has been improving and you just aren't clearly seeing the progress because of the anxiety.

@claracatchingthebus What is DBT ?
my university exams went so badly and this was my final attempt to resit. The exam was so hard. If I fail this I will not get my degree. I can't cope anymore with waiting for my results. I can't sleep at night and every dream I failed everything. It feels so real I can't escape this anymore.

I am losing my mind everyday I want it all to stop.

I would not suggest this. The sedative effect, I'm almost certain, is with lower doses. As you increase the dosage, it's starts to have the opposite effect - giving you a speedy feeling, and of course, that's when the hallucinations start in.

Just be prepared for psychosis. I used to take Benadryl to potentiate opioids, and I mean a lot (you develop a tolerance).

High doses make you hallucinate, and people abuse the stuff for exactly that reason.

When I was taking it, I remember literally seeing my wife's face change right before my eyes. I also would swear I could see aliens hiding in the bushes, and I'm not a UFO guy or anything.

As I had never hallucinated before to that extent, I swore what I was seeing was real. Just as you are staring at your computer or phone right now, what if someone walked in and told you "there is no phone/computer, you are hallucinating" - that's how real it felt. Freaked me the fck out.

I used to abuse DPH for the visual changes and weird delusional hallucinations, and trust me when I say this, dying on it would be a hellish way to go. The dysphoria and discomfort it produces feel horrible even at lower recreational doses and they only get worse as you increase the dosage. Like other users have mentioned, it would take an absurd amount to be able to kill you, and above a certain amount you lose all grasp on what's happening to you and just wander through your own personal hell dimension where nothing makes sense and you have no idea what's happening.

I used to abuse it as well - mainly to potentiate opioids/opiates.

Am I correct in remembering that the sedative effect is only at lower doses? Or am I thinking of something else? I seem to recall that at higher doses it had more of a speedy effect, kind of like kratom. I could be wrong though.

Absolutely agree with you, it is not a comforting or warm fuzzy feeling. A very dirty high, mixed with hallucinations, feeling uncomfortable, etc. A very bad way to go, imo.

Whenever i took higher doses the sedation always went away once I came up. I remember walking for like 2 hours while peaking on DPH and being unable to keep still while on doxylamine and dramamine (those both have the same mechanism of action as DPH and have very similar effects).

DBT is dialectical behavioral therapy and it's for people with intense emotions. I hate the term "borderline" because a lot of people just don't have any emotional protection buffer or armor; it's like everyone else has something in their brain to dull the pain of life and "borderline" people just don't have it. And it's not necessarily something pharmaceuticals help with if you have this issue, and I'm not sure if you do. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a specific way of trying to deal with life, a guide, for people who are extremely sensitive. It's sort of like emotional training for super sensitive people with strong emotions.

Incidentally, they just essentially cured Huntington's Disease, which is unbelievable, but I'm rethinking everything in life. So many diseases are being cured, they may have much more effective treatments for mental health issues, including Borderline Personality Disorder (a name that I loathe) and Treatment Resistant Depression, in another decade. Some people have suggested renaming Borderline Personality Disorder as Emotion Intensity Disorder, which is much more accurate in my mind. I don't feel like my super overwhelming emotional reactions to things are a part of me, I feel like it's something else, seperate from me, like it's something that blocks my real personality and who I want to be and is actually caused by something specific, even of I don't know what it is.

It's possible you did fail your exams but it's also possible the exam was a hard exam and you did fine. Usually when exams are hard, certain questions many people will get wrong. I hope you pass, and if you don't, you could always just hospitalize yourself for a week or so if you wanted to be able to see the situation clearly. It wouldn't take away your choice forever. And you may end up passing.

If you end up doing DBT, I would suggest the actual Marsha Linehan DBT program, not just a therapist labeling you as borderline and talking with you. They are very different things, usually DBT programs are also done in groups of people, and that may be part of why it's effective.

@astr4 Thank you I really did try to give myself a good life now I can't fight anymore. Every fight in me is gone. I am sick of living with these thoughts everyday. When i kill myself all this will stop: the panic attacks, the bad dreams and all this anxiety

This is not living

Like others said I don't think dph is the way to go about things, I had an attempt with it around 3-4 years ago and it was one of the worst physical experiences I've ever had, mental part wasn't too fun too. It was incredibly uncomfortable, suffocating, nauseating and overall terrible. You'll feel like a corpse for days on end. On the anorexia and bulimia part I was in the same boat a while back but I can assure you that things do get better, even if by a little. It's the sort of thing that sticks around for a very long time but you either learn to live with it, heal from it or ignore it. It might be tough now but I'm certain you can overcome it. Little by little I'm sure things will get better for you, I hope you feel better soon and keep on feeling better in the future, you're worthy of it :)

DBT tends to be really helpful for super sensitive people with feelings like what your describing.

THATS A VERY BAD IDEA!!
Diphenhydramine is not a sedative, it's an antihistamine. It dries you up.
You can cause severe organ damage that further complicates your life. I personally know a person that must wear a colostomy bag (bag of his feces) because of severe damage to him is colon which is permanent.
Even with factoring in the most potentially fatal meds (fentanyl or nitazenes etc)
Theres over 96% failure rate!! I would advise against any type of OD. I hope you find peace in whatever choices you make. 🤗🌹💔
