Overdose on painkillers

[breezy999]

I wondered if someone can overdose on painkillers (ex. Tylenol)? I feel that'd be a super convenient way to go.

I think that's a pretty unreliable and painful way to die.

Tylenol and other similar over the counter pain medications are not strong enough and you'll end up damaging your liver. It would have to me something alot stronger with respiratory depression like morphine and fentanyl. Even then, still a good chance of surviving since lethal dose will vary. Combine them with benzos and alcohol and it'll be more likely to succeed. In general, ODs aren't the most reliable and there's also the issue of nausea and vomiting.

TL:DR. Tylenol won't work and if it did, the dose would be ginormous.

One of the worst ways to die. You will die slowly and in suffering.

As others already said, OD with painkillers is unreliable and not really a good method. If you are interested in ODs you should have a look in the PPeH.

Please do NOT use this method. I consumed 40 grams of it and I didn't die but the next two days were horrible. My vision kept shifting and whenever I stood up I would try to vomit but nothing would come out of me. In addition, I would collapse after a few seconds. It really isn't worth trying.
