Yes, I'm aware of how difficult and unlikely it is for a successful suicide to be achieved by overdosing on OTC drugs. Even illegal and powerful drugs! But what about overdosing to go unconscious? Just enter a coma while submerged in water, shouldn't death by drowning be fast, painless, and guaranteed? Effective suicide methods, that are made nearly impossible by SI, become accessible during a coma. Anyone that has a bathtub and water can drown themselves at any time, the only thing in their way is SI. And if I'm unconscious, that shouldn't be a problem.

Pharmaceuticals are out of the question since doctors (in my area) seem terrified to prescribe anything besides basic drugs like antidepressants, and I currently have no knowledge of buying things off the deep web, so I'm limited to OTC medications. Are there any accessible drugs, that potentiated with alcohol, could reliably induce a coma that's deep enough to drown in? And can you think of ways someone could survive going unconscious while submerged in water? The only thing I can think of, would be vomiting: a coma might not be achieved when the drugs supposed to cause it are being puked out. I've heard that anti-emetics can reduce the urge to vomit but I don't think that would make any difference during a serious overdose.

BTW, I've already tried the shallow water blackout technique after aggressively hyperventilating for twenty minutes: it didn't work.

Also I want to add that even if the body flails/moves around while unconscious, it shouldn't matter because most bathtubs are "gated in" to keep water inside, which conveniently works as a barrier to keep a comatose body from falling out. Unconscious drowning could be achieved by filling the bathtub full of water, getting into a crawling position with hands and knees in contact with the floor, and holding that position until passing out. When that happens, and the muscles go limp, the head should plunge to the bottom of the water and quickly drown.

Had a similar idea a couple years back. I think the concensus I came to was that otc meds are so strictly tested that you would have to be a 1 in 10000 case to get yourself unconscious and even then, vomiting your meds out is a high probability.

Yes that's true, OTC drugs are much more likely to just cause bodily damage and make your life worse, I think overdosing on benzos and alcohol might be able to consistently induce unconsciousness and can picture that working.

Sure, but benzos are rather hard to get your hands on
