Caffeine overdose suicide?

[jsjuliaa]

Is a caffeine overdose even medically possible without caffeine pills and just a few energy drinks? What is the minimum amount of energy drinks that would be dangerous or fatal

I think your biggest hurdle there would be involuntarily vomiting before reaching anywhere near what a fatal dose of caffeine would be- which is around 10g for an average person.

You'll probably just throw up a lot caffeine is pretty safe. You'll most likely just feel like shit after a bunch of drinks nothing permanent tho

I remember drinking like five monsters within a day because I was lowkey addicted and the most I noticed was I was shaking a lot and pretty restless lol I think it would be pretty impossible to do it with just drinks

General rule: if you can buy something in every country of the world in normal stores around the corner and billions consume it daily, then it is safe to say that it can't be used for CTB :D

I think your body shuts down metabolism before you get even close to ingesting the lethal dose. Via IV you might have a chance. Awful way to go, though.

This seems like the bigger room for failures and just end up adding more health issues .

Unless you have an underlying condition, like heart disease, of some significance I don't think this is viable. I think you'd just get sick and throw up long before anything serious could happen.

I found an LD50 of 200mg/kg for caffeine which means that a 70kg would need to drink ~162 monsters (with 86.4mg of caffeine per serving) to have a 50% chance of dying

aka won't happen

you cant make yourself OD on energy drinks it just happens to unlucky people with heart problems. you need caffeine pills to kill yourself and caffeine pills are very effective to OD on you only need 260 pills to gaurentee death and only 50 pills to reach LD50. btw caffeine pill overdose hurts more then any other OTC medicine OD.

problem with pills is that my brain knows that i'm consuming poison, and will trigger a vomit response before it even reaches my stomach. this happened in previous ctb attemps even though i used antipsychotics to dampen the vomit reflex. i might just have an unusually weak stomach but this is a big problem.

i'm thinking, i could use a syringe and fill it with dissolved caffeine powder or some other poison, heating it to body temp to reduce discomfort. injecting in the veins would make vomiting ineffective and deliver the full dosage, but i wonder how painful it is to inject a massively hypotonic substance at such a high dose.

The LD50 for caffeine is far too high.
