PSA - DO NOT test-ingest SN

[gothbird]

But the physical sensation will not be the same. Overdosing on regular table salt gives different physiological side effects than NaNO2 poisoning. The two are not comparable and rather than running through such a test it seems like 0.5 g sodium nitrite would make more sense. Too much table salt might make someone twitchy and have very unnatural and pinch sensations, so it is not the same. Maybe for a salty taste, but still kind of a weird thing to do.

I'm not implying you overdose on salt. It's just for flavour. It's a physiological run and won't work or help everybody. You'd be really stupid to test ingest SN.

 

[bananaolympus]

Yes i did i taste test some time ago out of curiosity i think it was 5 grams in like 300 ml but i was well hydrated and fed that day but still some effects happened like i felt lightheaded and minor vomit it lasted like 40 min and the taste was strong

best report i saw from someone taking a microdose was they described it as.....kicking hard, like a mule!

 

[ForestGhost]

For anyone who has a strong compulsion to ingest nitrites for whatever in spite of the warnings of this thread, maybe alkyl nitrites (aka poppers) can be used as a harm reduction alternative? Amyl nitrite and isobutyl nitrite are volatile liquids that you can inhale to essentially give yourself a micro dose of SN-like effects. In a lot of countries they are available, though often they are branded as leather cleaner for legal reasons.

Note that drinking them is not advisable. The concentrations are generally not strong enough for severe methemoglobinemia and are not very reliable for a genuine CTB method, though it is likely you will experience strong discomfort and may need medical attention to alleviate the symptoms.

[cme-dme]

Its silly to me that this even needs to be mentioned lol. Remember: Don't ingest poision unless you want to die from said poison.

 

[notevenhere]

The title had me laughing, it's like: do not drink poison. you will die.

I accidentally come into skin contact with it from time to time when I portion a new bottle to another container and every time I do, I feel dizzy and ill for a good 4-8 hours.

oh my god i looked up the chemical name of poppers and did not expect that.

why are we microdosing on sn now lol new self harm unlocked

 

[SufferingInDenmark]

I agree. There's no reason to do this. Besides, if you can get hold of SN you can get nitrite testing kits to test it.

you know what i should search to find test kits?

Imagine if SN is some secret neurotropic in very tiny doses.

 

[TurboCharcha]

Nitrite test strips, for example.

 

[ChaiTea]

Not sure if this'll do anything for anyone but I recently tried to cbt using the SN method. I had it for about two ish years before trying. Never opened it from the box but figured it'd be potent enough.

I threw up straight after from the taste alone and don't throw up easily (i only had a teeny bit on my tongue, nothing substantially swallowed). Then sent to the hospital and basically shat my brains out for two weeks. Not fun

 

[Manic Panic]

Even opening sn and getting it in the air can be enough to make you feel ill. So if you have no intention to use it besides testing the purity with strips or to ctb I wouldn't even open it.

It's better to be safe then to accidentally ctb early or by accidentally poisoning someone else.

Damn, sorry to hear. Can I ask how much SN you ingested? Maybe it was too much and your body reacted immediately?

not much at all, honestly i wasn't sure i even ingested any of it until i got sick. the hospital didn't do any tests though since i told them i didn't put it in my mouth but within the day i was feeling god awful.

i put the standard dosage i found on this forum (forgot exactly) and swallowed less than mouthwash im pretty sure

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

Another example of why NOT to do this:

Why you shouldn't test ingest your sn.

I dont want people saying rude things to me when this was because im simply self deatructive and hate myself. I've learned my lesson and I'm paying the consequences. I took a very very small amount of sn earlier today and it did a number on me. I started feeling really week and my breathing was...

[hereornot]

I tried this stuff a little while ago. I know I shouldn't have... but that's the only way I would know what it tasted like... I only had a small amount of powder, and it tasted horrible, similar to magnesium sulfate.

The warning not to do this makes sense, after a while my jaw went numb, it was kind of locked, a strange sensation. I'm sharing it just for the sake of knowledge, rest assured that it was just a few powders, and I'll be fine.

It must be really hard to drink the necessary amount, and I think it's impossible not to vomit.

I'm rethinking throwing the stuff away.

The taste is horrible, seriously. I'm sick of half a dozen crumbs...

If you're looking to conduct a dry run of the SN protocol without using SN itself, here is a little thing I put together for myself. I thought I'd share. A test run can help mentally and physically prepare, reduce anxiety, and ensure confidence without any risk. Below is a simulated protocol using safe, household alternatives that replicate the experience as closely as possible. I am going to do in the next few days in my lead up to passing.

1. Fasting (Optional in the test but a must on the day):
Begin with a 12–15 hour fast (or whatever you're doing), just as you would with the actual protocol. This gives you a realistic baseline for how your body might feel both physically and emotionally in a real attempt.

2. Antacid:
Take your chosen antacid as you would during the real protocol. If using a PPI, take it the night before and again the morning. This helps you understand its timing and effect on your stomach.

3. Antiemetic (AE):
Take the antiemetic you plan to use on the day. For example:

• 10–20mg metoclopramide.

This will allow you to observe whether you experience side effects like dizziness, sedation, or tummy changes. Some people find metoclopramide stimulating or uncomfortable; it's worth knowing that ahead of time so you don't freak out.

4. Alternative SN solution:
Mix a small glass of warm saline water to mimic the appearance, taste, and volume of SN:

• 50ml of warm water
• 1.5–2 teaspoons of non-iodised salt
• Optional: add a drop of iron supplement or a dash of bicarb for that slight metally taste.

It won't be exact, but it will be close enough to reproduce a similar taste, thickness, and saltiness of SN solution. Though, I've heard literally nothing can prepare you for how salty SN is haha.

Do not drink this entire mixture in one go if you're unsure how you'll tolerate it, sip cautiously. It's not the SN. The goal here is not to make yourself ill, only to familiarise yourself with the sensation.

5. Sedative / Painkiller (Optional in the test but once again good to see how you feel):
If you plan to take something like zopiclone, diazepam, or a painkiller as part of your protocol, you may test this too at a reduced dose to see how your cognition and mood are affected. Make sure to do this only in a safe space and if it's medically appropriate.

6. Simulate timing and environment:
Once you've taken the fake SN, go through the motions.

• Set a timer for 15–20 minutes.
• Lie down in the position you plan to use.
• Observe your own emotions, physical sensations, and environment.
• Take note of what felt rushed, uncomfortable, or uncertain.

7. Write down your thoughts:

• Did I forget anything?
• Did the environment feel right?
• Was I calm, nervous, detached?
• Did the physical sensations cause panic or nausea?

Then clean up. Wash your glass, dispose of the saltwater, and restore any medications. This part may seem minor, but it helps me with calming down. Good luck friends!

Did a dry run without any of the other pills, and I threw up in 3 minutes lol. The taste is no joke. Thank you for the steps!

You weren't meant to dry run with the SN…

Glad you're okay. Please be safer next time. Do not "test" ingest SN.

OH MY WORD I meant i did it with the uniodized salt just like your instructions! My SN isnt here yet, dw im not that reckless lol. Thank you for the concern though, i appreciate it

so shat about taking it for an actual suicide attempt?

I would like to update on my second dry run (with uniodized salt + 2x10mg domperidone + lay down in the recovery position) and i gotta say, no nausea or overwhelming discomfort. The only discomfort i feel is the mild "burning" sensation of salty water in my throat, as well as the protruding parts of my bones touching the cold floor for 20 minutes. I wonder if the actual SN will go down this easily with the full dose of antiemetics (3x10mg domperidone for me), aside from the tachycardia and heavy breathing

That actually sounds like a really solid dry run, so thanks for sharing the details. That kind of prep makes a big difference in how things go.

The mild burning in the throat from the salt solution is totally expected, and SN will likely feel similar in texture/taste just a bit more metallic and unpleasant overall. Good call on the recovery position too; it helps with managing airway safety in case nausea does hit, even if you don't think it will. Do you sit up for as long as you can first?

As for your question: yes, if you tolerated the salt mix well with 2x10mg domperidone, then stepping up to 3x10mg (30mg total), which is the recommended pre-dose in most protocols, should give even better nausea protection. Domperidone works peripherally, so it helps manage the gastric side without sedation or crossing the blood–brain barrier.

SN specific discomfort tends to be more about lightheadedness, tachycardia (as you mentioned) and shortness of breath or a "tight chest" feeling as oxygen levels drop. Those effects are part of the mechanism (methemoglobinemia), not side effects that domperidone can block but they're expected and time limited. Most people say unconsciousness occurs within 20–30 minutes if dosing is correct and absorption isn't interrupted.

As users are aware, this platform advocates for personal bodily autonomy and supports individuals' rational choices regarding how they wish to live or die.
However, there have been recent posts from users who have been "testing" their sodium nitrite (SN) supply—not for the purpose of an actual attempt, but to observe how SN affects them at low doses.

Do not do this!.

SN can be lethal in quantities as low as 1 gram, and there are documented cases of individuals who have unintentionally ended their lives prematurely as a result of their decision to test or experiment with it.
There are already numerous threads that describe in detail what to expect when taking SN. We strongly encourage you to refer to those for research purposes rather than conducting personal experiments.
Here are some examples of users who tested SN:

- Ice Tea 15 consumed a specific amount mixed with cola and still ended up in the hospital.

- Grosz, another user took a small dose and experienced severe symptoms.

- Sadworld impulsively tasted "a tiny sip" of SN, reported experiencing symptoms, and was never heard from again.

All subsequent examples (including a few others), including a medical case of a fatality from a low dose, will be linked below.

If you identify as an impulsive person, it is highly recommended that you store your SN in a location that is not easily accessible.
Some individuals choose to keep their SN :
- At second location they must travel to
- Inside two or three locked containers
- In a physically high or hard-to-reach place

These strategies are intended to give you time to calm down or reconsider your decision before gaining access to your supply.

While the choice ultimately belongs to you, it is critically important to keep yourself safe until you are capable of making fully rational decisions and to avoid accidents or outcomes that cannot be undone. Please do not take this message for granted, as this is not the first time this has been discussed. Going forward, I hope threads like this become less common where users are warned not to but ingest it anyway. All in all, the consequences are always best avoided by NOT engaging your own curiosity.

If you have tested/ingested SN and are currently experiencing symptoms, please contact emergency medical services immediately. It is imperative that you do so for your own safety and, most important of all, your well-being.

There is, of course, also the option of disposing of your SN entirely if you find that you cannot trust yourself with it. However, it is understood that for some individuals, simply possessing their chosen method provides a sense of control.
