Hey all,

So without going into a shitload of super minute details, I'm planning to CTB in the next few days. I'm not able to do anything but OTC meds as I'm disabled and don't have access to anything else. I was going to use a pile of Unisom but wondered if there's anything else I can take.

This is not a method. It is an attempt. You can get sick and possibly sectioned.
What is your goal?

My goal is to CTB

Which is why I'm asking for advice on how much and what to use

Someone already posted the obligatory non-method and OD posts and if you haven't already, you should read it.


How much?

Well, no one knows. It's a gamble no matter how much you take. But OTC LD50s present hilariously large amount of pills that most people will never actually be able to swallow. If by some chance you could swallow that many, it is hilariously financially not worth it.

What to use?

They all suck. Cold hard fact. Nothing is safe from failure, and by ODing you're accepting the fact you may develop permanent issues. There is no magic OTC that won't fuck you up. Think about it, if it could kill, why wouldn't it cause damage?

As mentioned above, unfortunately none of it will work. OTC meds are so freely available precisely because they are not dangerous unless you take an absolute mountain of them (truly an amount that most humans will not be able to tolerate). If you somehow did manage to stomach them, you're more likely to cause yourself permanent issues rather than successfully catch the bus.


You can find methods that do work here:

It's not going to work. OTC meds are largely considered a non-method for a reason. They're not lethal unless you take a ton and even if you take a ton, you will likely vomit it back up and/or leave yourself with irreparable organ damage, making any future attempt or attempt at recovery very difficult.

Don't even attempt to use OTC to CTB, I recommend looking into other methods that are obtainable and work.
