I hadn't known that was also in there. Yes it makes sense to not post exact numbers.
On the other hand, I've posted what I think is important information to people, always saying a caveat and clearly not stating this is for any other reason other than their health, etc -- don't combine many CNS depressants (e.g. alcohol, kava, etc.) because that can cause a coma if not worse.
That I think is valid information, since sometimes insomniacs (me included) add multiple things including OTC agents to their doses, and that's not a good thing if you don't ask your doctor.
That releases no specifics, no LD50s, none of the above, which by the way are often publicly available in PIs and on the net and can't be avoided. I'm not going to go about obviously and point out a URL.
I don't think this should be a forum for suicide, obviously, but I think its important to discuss it in an abstract form at least so people can vent and get their feelings heard.
Also it helps to note that it is important to discuss these things with your psychiatrist -- it seems scary and against what you would want to reveal, but the law (at least in this state, I think its a federal one, I'm not sure) only provides that your psychiatrist or psychologist has to suddenly refer you to a PET team and a hospital if you have an actual plan rather than feeling very depressed and should be discussing these things.
I think they'd rather know what their patients are feeling. At least the caring therapists I know of.
Anyhow enough morbid comments for one posting but I can tell you its a natural part of major depression and thoughts go through my mind every day because of just what a panoply of symptoms I have going on and not having acceptance yet that this is who I am, at least for now.Anyhow, that is my own inner feelings -- this was about someone else who I think should discuss with someone they're comfortable with.
-- best wishes
