Hi, It may be better not to publish exactly the dosage that is dangerous. For example, I tried not to read this part, because I know I’m tempted, and sometimes ignorance is bliss. I know you seek to share excellent knowledge, I’m myself passionate about air crashes and causes which is a topic a lot of people don’t like to hear about ;) It’s just, it’s very interesting to know for a public health perspective that lethal doses are possible to get at the local supermarket, perhaps the exact quantity is one detail too much. Cheers.

Don't do it! This is a good point and something I consider every time I bring it up. I don't have a perfect response though sorry. I try to put people of this particular method by noting it's painful and takes a long time. Do you have someone(s) you can talk to? Support people?

  Yes, don’t worry too much for me, I have a psychologist and we got several things rolling recently, so I’ll be fine for a couple of months already. Thank you for your concern ;)

That's such a weird perspective to take. No information, including the exact dosage that will kill you, should be hidden "just in case". It's like security by obscurity of medical world. In fact I'd advocate that every paracetamol packet should say, in big letters in the back "TAKING X OF TABLETS WILL KILL YOU WITH NO KNOWN TREATMENT, AND IT WILL HURT ALL THE TIME AS YOU'RE DYING". There's so many people who don't realize how easily taking too much paracetamol can kill it's crazy.

  Yeah, exact dosage is irrelevant. If you're going to kill yourself, you just take a few packs. As you say and has been said elsewhere in here, the dosage difference between therapeutic and fatal is really small, so if you take multiple times the normal dosage, well... you don't need exact dosage for that.

  France: buying paracetamol can be done freely here ,but it has to be asked for at pharmacies, and the dangerous dosage (4000mg/day) is heavily stressed. Also, it is written on the instruction manual, in quite big letters.

Anything you consume to the point of unconsciousness is likely to kill you. Your world is full of intentional poisons (we use them to kill the things we don't like, germs and bugs) and dangerous things you aren't supposed to eat. The numbers don't matter. Please don't end your life. Almost everyone who tries regrets it. Get help with your dark thoughts and keep on being a part to your communities.
