How many '00' size gelatin capsules can I maximally take? [Amitriptyline CTB]

[LenkaX]

I will need 320 tablets of 25mg Amitriptyline for CTB which will be 8 grams. I read on this forum that preparing it as a drink is not a good idea because it's too much bitter. So I want to repackage these 320 tablets into 00 size gelatin capsules. This will yield about 130 capsules full of Amitriptyline. But isn't it too much to take at once? I will also need 14 tablets of Tagamet and another 60 tablets of benzos. I'm very afraid that I would take about 80 gelatin capsules and my stomach wouldn't accept anything more, which would be a disaster for me.
What do you think about it?

I don't know what to do... This method seemed so promising at the beginning, but the more I find out about it, the more I'm confused.

I watched a video he dissolved them in water
I think it is much more comfortable

I think that if you use a tablet crusher you could easily fit 500 mg of ami into one 00 capsule, meaning sixteen. That would be my plan.

I did an experiment with my 25mg capsules (unfortunately this is the only types of tablets I can get where I live) and I can only push approx. 2.5 such crushed tablets into one 00 capsule. So I can fit only approx. 62mg of AMI into one 00 capsule. This would result in approx. 128 capsules just for the 8g of AMI. Plus I need 14 tablets of Tagamet and at least another 20 capsules for the benzos.

Anyway, I will do another experiment when I'll try to take 160 gelatin capsules full of sugar after a day of fasting + 3 meto tablets 40 minutes prior to this experiment. I will then post here the result of how it went. I think that it might be possible - just look on some food eating competitions how much is it possible to put into your stomach...

For me, I would rather risk taking the tiny 25mg tabs or crushing and putting into liquid. I cannot stand gel capsules - they always seem to get caught in my throat or make me want to throw up. So there is no way I could take 160 gel caps. This method's downside is either the 10mg or 25mg tablets. When prescribed as an anti-depressant they usually are 100 mg tabs. Which greatly reduces the quantity of pills needed to swallow. I think even though I have 25mg tabs, I would want to explore purchasing some 100mg tabs on the dark net.

When considering CTB, everything is a risk... I wouldn't risk buying 100mg tablets from darknet because you never know if it's real amitriptyline or something different. I have to go with 25mg tablets. If the experiment with 160 sugar capsules fails, I will then have to crush the tablets and mix with water, as PPeH suggests. If I fail drinking it, I will have to completely forget this method and try something different.

According to this a 00 capsule should hold approx 735 mg, but it doesnt say what of. Maybe ami takes up a lot of space for its weight and has an odd density. 62 mg in a 00 capsule seems very low indeed. Think about a paracetamol capsule, 500 mg is inside.
Ps be careful filling 160 capsules full of sugar. Thats a massive amount of sugar and may make you feel very sick.

Ive read that it may be easier to grind them down and sprinkle them into something sweet like apple sauce, ice cream, yogurt or custard. This is to counteract the bitter taste and allow for them to be absorbed more quickly in the body, as the tablets are already broken down.

All medical drug tablets as I'm aware of have a big amount of additional excipients such as starch, lactose and many others (see https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6016/smpc#EXCIPIENTS for Amitriptyline).
So 25mg of pure Amitriptyline makes just a small portion of the whole tablet.

Oh right fair enough. 62mg in a 00 capsule it is then. Just seems very low.

Apple juice sounds good, but wouldn't it diminish the effect of the drug?

Same plan here

 

[LenkaX]

I guess I will just dissolve all the 320 tablets in water and I have to drink it no matter what. I'm so confused about this method, so many things can go wrong... :-(

Then it's not a good idea to do the method!

 

[Taos]

@LenkaX and [removed] considering this is an old post, neither of you want through with ami. May i ask why? The amount of pills needed? i'm considering it, but have doubts for the same reason. Can I PM either you?

 

[UterEntonaur]

I will need 320 tablets...

When I did some loperamide OD research, addicts would empty the capsules into a non-acidic vegetable smoothie, and then drink it. It seemed like the optimum way of taking "medication capsules" rather than swallowing them whole.
