Questions: How reliable is drowning in a bath? With drowning or Shallow Water blackout method how to guarantee I don't wake up while drowning kinda thing?

Soo with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) for reasons I cannot explain well (bc of this too brain fog is real) theres huge risk in fainting especially in heat. I've fainted in the shower before and woke up a few mins or so on the shower floor or with my body half in halfout. I don't remember bc it was a few yrs ago & while going through a rough time.


Rn im in a flareup & just sitting I feel dizzy & when I stand I gotta give myself some time to make sure I don't faint.

So, I am curious if I was to possibly increase that aspect fainting like super hot bath, alcohol & other sedative drugs is drowning in a bath possible or reliable enough to be successful?

I would combine:
alcohol
cannabis
gabapentin
clonidine
clonazapam
buspar
magnusium
melatonin (maybeee?)
maybe I'll get some valerian & ashwaganda(?) Too as I find those are quite sedating to me/have teas with em/teas that are sedating. & possibly zoplicone but would need to ask for another prescription & I'm not sure my doc would after the M.A.I.D inquiry but tbh it'd be very easy to convince her im fine & that I was just feelin a lil low in the moment.


I've combined some of these in the past & yee very sleepy. I feel like too bc of my sleep issues when I take things I just knock out randomly. Like I'll be lying down doin smthin & then I wake up. I don't usually have that process of slowly going to sleep.


I can only imagine how sedated I'd be if I combined all of these. So ig/ wondering if I could work out for other methods like partial hanging...

Sedation and putting your legs high in the air are the most common presentations of bath CTB.

Note that this is rare. You will probably be the first case that the examiner in your town/city will ever see in their career unless you are in a large city.

There are many academic papers in this area. Search and see what fits you.

I think, drowning in a bathtub should be very reliable in case of passing out underwater in absence of other people around.
With drowning or Shallow Water blackout method how to guarantee I don't wake up while drowning kinda thing?
SWB should be easily achievable with an asphyxiant gas, such as nitrogen or butane. The method consists of 3 stages: hyperventilation for reducing CO2 in the blood, replacing residual oxygen in the lungs with the asphyxiant gas until reaching faintness, and holding breath underwater until passing out. Waking up with a critically low amount of oxygen in the blood is very unlikely.
