I thought SN was relatively peaceful yet maybe uncomfortable experience? Is passing out from benzos absolutely essential? I'm assuming 4mg Xanax wouldn't knock someone out
There are quite a few testimonials on here from people who took SN without benzos. I was reading through them for quite a long time yesterday. A lot report some level of discomfort (stomach cramps seem common), but none reported any pain. Of course, the actual experience after they stop reporting symptoms is a mystery.
I don't have benzos either, so it's something I've looked into a lot. I would be worried about sleeping too quickly, vomiting too much in my sleep and being unable to 'replace' the SN I had thrown up. There was someone who had allegedly done just that.
It's something of a leap of faith I suppose. Personally I'm prepared for pain if it means getting this life done with, but of course hoping for only discomfort as reported in the goodbye threads I've read through.
