Help Trying to pass out. Any tips on what to do/use?

[Paperclip]

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting a thread so my apologies if this isn't in the right subforum.

So I'm getting pretty bad again. I'm not at the point where I want to actually ctb but I also don't want to deal with life. I feel an almost constant need to escape reality.
That's why I want to find ways to pass out or at least get very woozy.

I got my hands on some tramadol (that's a few months expired though). Last time I took them I took 4 at a time. After aprox. 2 hours I did get pretty light-headed and felt very calm/sleepy. But I could still function and do everything. I'm thinking about taking more and combining it with alcohol. However I also take an SSRI (escitalopram, 10 mg) and I read combining tramadol with SSRI's could lead to seretoninsydrome. I have very little experience with drugs so I don't really know how high that risk is. From what I could find online more than 400 mg tramadol could cause you to OD. But that's without the combination with SSRI.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Or other suggestion on what I could use/do?
I know there's always a risk of doing permanant damage but I just want to minimize that risk

I'm sorry to sound prudish but I feel like self-harm, outside of the context of suicide, is not the point of this forum. If you absolutely feel you must sedate yourself you'd probably have much more success and a lower chance of doing permanent damage by simply getting blackout drunk on alcohol rather than intoxicating yourself with controlled substances. It's so effective in fact that people do it even without any psychological pressure.

Prescription drugs OD rarely work. Indeed, statistically there's an extremely, EXTREMELY low success rate. Now doing yourself some lasting and painful. damage by doing the above sounds highly likely.

I disagree. Someone suicidal looking for a method of escapism so they need not endure life, very much fits into the forum. They said they want to minimize the risk of negative effects, they just want help sedating themselves. There are many answers that could be helpful to this. I myself would love to read replies about low risk sedation methods. I suppose suggesting alcohol is valid, but as someone who hates alcohol and avoids it as I was raised by drunks - finding other excellent sedation methods would be great, the higher the ability to sedate, with the lowest risk, the better. I have crippling insomnia and I just want to better be able to sleep so I am not tired at every moment of every day. This endless exhaustion very much contributes to how suicidal I am. I would die just for some rest. But I am trying to find ways to live first. I don't wish to fully give up until after I try.
