can dimenhydrinate ever work for suicide?

[ali463]

i tried taking about 8g of it before but it did not kill me and im wondering if it was by luck or if it really does not kill? i heard that dimenhydrinate is 50% diphenhydramine with some caffeine or something like that

It can, but you'd have to take copious amounts like somewhere near 40+ pills, so it's not recommended. If you fail and survive an attempt like that you can end up with brain damage and organ failure.
