Hi guys. I am on prescribed drugs and they interact bad with metoclopramide. Should I attempt to do it without metoclopramide (antiemetic) or should I quit my prescription drugs beforehand to be able to us metoclopramide? I can quit them because they are all psychiatric durgs. Sorry for bad english and thanks a lot!

First of all, you need to consider how long it will take to get your psychiatric drugs out of your system,

That was the kind of timescale I had in mind too, but I'm no expert on this subject so I didn't want to express an opinion.
It is possible to ctb with SN without using an anti-emetic, but the risk of failure would be high. I think you are more likely to succeed if you wait for a month or so, and then use an anti-emetic.
You haven't made many posts on this site, so it's not clear to me why you want to ctb. Would you like to talk about it?
I just don't enjoy life. I want to ctb for around 4 years. I've talked my psychiatrist about it and she told me if suicidal thoughts gets more intense I could always choose to stay at a mental health hospital. So I did stay there for a month, I still wanted to ctb but I lied and said I don't want it anymore to get out of there. Later I've stayed at another psychiatric hospital, the biggest in Turkey (where I live). I've seen many different psychiatrists. Nothing seems to help. So I think I should do it. Life is so meaningless. Why should I tolerate it?

I concluded when I was about 15 years old that life has no ultimate purpose or meaning. I'm now 72, and I still feel the same way. But throughout my life I have managed to find enough things that give me short-term goals or purpose that I'm still here.
It is possible to have the kind of outlook on life that you hold, but also be fortunate enough to live an interesting and worthwhile life despite it. I don't know whether you will be able to do that. But don't assume that it is impossible.

what's the longest you've endured being actively suicidal? if you had done it then, and knowing what you know now at 72 would that have been justified in your opinion?
hope my questions aren't too blunt

I don't mind you asking.
First, I should point out that feeling that life has no ultimate purpose or meaning, and feeling suicidal, are entirely different things. For me, the former does not lead to the latter, and it never has done. For some people it might do.
I have been close to catching the bus during one period of my life, but it was because of deep depression caused by external circumstances. When the circumstances changed, the depression went away and so did any serious thought of killing myself.
I'm not suicidal now. I will ctb if my husband dies before me, and not otherwise. That has been the situation for years.
