Even though I'm not the kind to do unplanned attempts, I was in a very vulnerable situation where I lost all my sanity and I hit myself and slapped myself repeatedly while crying and screaming at how much I hated my life and wanted a way out, my family's comfort wasn't enough, I grabbed the 5 packs of risperidone and started taking it non stop, my mom came inside my room again and stopped me at the 11th pill, I refused to throw up when she told me to, I was already blinded by insanity but after a few hours (like 2hrs) I started to function normally again and knew that my overdose will more likely give me physical issues than dying, I purged the pills and stayed dizzy the whole day, the day after that I had difficulty breathing and I can't stop snoring and rattling while awake, my neck was moving by itself in a painful way as well, it was torture, today, I went back from the doctor he told me I had poisonous toxins inside my system and lacked iron which caused the dizziness, fainting and difficulty breathing (iron prob not related to the attempt lmao).
Looking back at it now, I should've controlled myself instead of carelessly overdosing on antipsychotics, but it's not like I was same enough to make that decision. My mother took the medicine far away from me

You can fatally overdose on antipsychotics? I didn't know that.

Only on TCAs like Amitriptyline. The method is described in the PPH.

I heard that ODing on anti psychotics isn't a great idea since it doesn't guarantee death, but at that moment I wasn't thinking straight

From everything I've read, it had a low likelihood of success anyway. Glad you're alright.

Overdosing on anything is a bad idea unless you happen to have a gram of fentanyl on you I guess. Even with fent that is a miserable way to go out. Hope you are able to recover and im glad you're alright

We do some crazy things in the moment when we want to escape so badly.

I'm really sorry you felt so bad that you tried when you were in such a vulnerable state. Impulsiveness, when it comes to suicide, anyway, rarely ends the way we want it to. (Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.)

I hope you (and your family, also) can be gentle with yourself/you and maybe you can talk to someone about how you are feeling.

Also, I am glad you are okay.
