Reply to comment by shockencock in ELI5: If benzodiazepines are CNS depressants, why is it so hard to die from a overdose of them alone? by psychrolute
Lol
Lorazepam has an ld50 of nearly 2g/kg.
That's the whole reason OP made this post, they were wondering why you can take high doses of benzos without dying even though it's a cns depressant.

>9.5 grams of Diazepam
That's like 1 full gram of lorazepam.
I had a 1/20th of that and I only remember a few seconds of that day (and felt the after effects for multiple days).
How do you even get that much? That's like a soda bottle full.

Look, I tried, but the closest gazelles are in a zoo and apparently now I have "the right to remain silent" or something.

>Nearly died. Shit is no joke
Yeah same here, came pretty close.
>Luckily, in my case I’d literally just read the symptoms a few days before and knew what it was right away.
Yeah, recognizing the symptoms makes such a gigantic difference, and it can go wrong so quickly.
Had I recognized the symptoms right away it would've probably been minor.
As it was it was quite close to killing me.
>Happened in NYC and the hospital was awesome
I was in one of the best hospitals, so I trust they did what was best. It was mainly my own stupidity that made it bad.

Hey, samesies!
They had to exteriorize so I've got a huge scar and yeah it was left completely open to reduce risk of infection.
Rinsing that out multiple times a day was an odd experience.

That depends on how bad your appendicitis is.
I was in the hospital for two weeks.
They've been doing laparoscopic appendectomies for a long time, but that only works if things haven't exploded yet.

No, he famously doesn't normally use stunt doubles.
Just because he has on occasion used them doesn't change that.
Would you say Tom Cruise famously uses stunt doubles?

Dunno what to say to this. That's simply not true.
You can't say that human coal burning contributes to our climate change but coal burning that we didn't cause doesn't contribute.

It still contributes to the same issues, even if it's not caused by humans.
The vast amounts of resources needed to even try to put this out probably far outweigh the benefits.
But i don't think it's accurate to say that just because it's not human made it can't haem us.

Unless you have deep cycle batteries in your phone somehow you do not want to let lithium ion batteries go down that low, it will reduce the lifespan of the batteries.

Not a fan of people who don't care about infecting other people with covid. But, seems to me like what's about to happen in this picture is rather extreme.

Having used sound blasters back when this was still a new thing, I don't know what a non interchangeable audio card is.

> Most people that try to kill themselves with it drink alcohol too.
Yeah and then you need a lot less, that's the danger.
>I couldn’t imagine taking 50 mg of it.
Tbf, I can only imagine it.
About an hour after I took the first 4mg I don't recall anything for the next day or so.
I took the rest of the bottle I had I'm assuming because I forgot that I'd already taken some.
There was never an intent to take the whole bottle, just the first ones made me not form any new memories....
