I take a antidepressant/ anti anxiety med. Overdosing on it probably won't kill me, but it does cause extreme euphoria. In my experience with overdosing, it takes at least a few hours for negative effects of the overdose like vomiting to kick in. I should start feeling euphoric way before that.
Do you think this might have any effect on SI? I know things like alcohol are a safer option, but I'm not old enough to drink yet.

In theory it is possible. Even if alcohol can't be obtained there are a lot of common substances one can get high on. I won't list them for ethical reasons, but I'm sure you can find that info doing a google search. I don't know if getting high will decrease or remove SI though. When I'm high from weed I don't want to die, and as such it would increase SI most likely.

Personally I've found that stopping my meds gives me far more of an urge to go through with it than taking more. What meds are they?

Escitalopram. I hadn't thought of using gasoline, but that might cause me legal trouble if I'm found. I guess it's one of those things where people won't know if it works or not until someone tries it.
