I don't know why you need a case for this, lessening vomiting is literally what antiemetics are proven to do, if they weren't tested and proven to prevent/lessen vomiting, it wouldn't be suggested or prescribed at all in the first place, and anyway sn+ae for suicide is so under researched that any statistics you uncover for ctb specifically won't be entirely reliable.
Yes, antiemetics are for preventing nausea and vomiting. Whose to say if a person is vomiting meto reduced the amount of vomiting? Vomiting is vomiting and I've not seen anyone vomit less with meto. Correct me if I'm wrong with case studies please. If I'm vomiting I consider my ae a failure.
"In adults, metoclopramide remains indicated for prevention of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), radiotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and delayed (but not acute) chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and for symptomatic treatment of nausea and vomiting including that associated with acute migraine (where it may also be used to improve absorption of oral analgesics)' [
3]. No specific recommendations and restrictions for critically ill patients were provided."
Regulatory agencies in North America and Europe recently re-evaluated the safety of metoclopramide. This re-evaluation resulted in recommendations and restrictions in order to minimise the risk of neurological and other adverse reactions associated with the use of metoclopramide. In the ICU...

As can be seen from that list all the symptoms of sn can also be caused by meto. Meto itself can also increase risk of nausea and vomiting.
Well AE works to prevent or reduce vomiting. There are plenty of cases where it has done its job. Why so specific picking the middle ground? I've done paracetamol OD like 10 years ago so I know the excessive vomiting that occurs. I've also taking nicotine without ae, and nicotine with AE. (Liquid nicotine) Without ae, I was constantly dry reach vomiting (Vomiting reflex without the liquid since my stomach was practically empty, a little bit of liquid but 99% was dry reaching), and with AE. With ae there was still some dry reach vomiting (Reflex), but it was significantly lessened.
I don't think we can compare this to sn.
Literally the definition of an AE is "Prevents or reduces vomiting". Reducing is the exact same as lessening. "An antiemetic is a medication that prevents or reduces nausea and vomiting. ". Its hard to get a study on something that "Reduces" something since it is hard to predict how the person would cope without it and mimicing the exact environment, where as you can make a study, get the patient to drink something that'll force them to vomit, and have patients on the other end of the study that have taken AEs to see how well AEs perform. But asking for a specific study about AEs "Reducing vomiting", rather than "Preventing vomiting", is impossible to record, and you'd know this.
Cases in here do not show reduced vomiting.
And as the other user suggested, there are no public available statistics of SN with/or without AEs. So what statistics are you after?
Cases in here would be the only thing available.
