how many sleeping pill does it take to commit suicide?
Question came from a debate/discussion on reasons/causes of attempted suicides and the planning behind it/failed attempts.
Everyone who makes enquiries isn't a potential suicide.
I'm not asking dead people. I'm making a general enquiry to [hopefully] Informed/educated people. There is an unsafe amount and my question relates to the fact that too many sleeping pills are prescribed at one time.
Why are people making unrelated references to this question?

A person who tries to commit suicide with pills in most cases don't want to die, just wants to solve a big problem and don't know how! it's a call for attention.
If you know anyone in that situation don't despair. Suicide doesn't solve anything... and sometimes a suicide attempt brings up so much more problems and destroys several lives forever.
If you know anyone in that desperate situation, seek for help with a professional.

To answer such a question on here without knowing the person who is asking is never a clever idea; this is because that person could well be soliciting information that could place them in harms way.
A legitimate person asking this question would be better served in an organised and supervised forum in the real world.
If however you are the person who is feeling down then there are safe and viable sources of help that DO WORK for those experiencing mental stress; it is simply a matter of contacting them via you GP or social services.
Good luck whichever path you find yourself upon.

The best suicide/euthanasia manual in existence is the Peaceful Pill eHandbook. It was written by Dr Philip Nitschke with Dr Fiona Stewart. It’s updated 6 times per year. There are many reliable suicide methods described in it in detail. However, the best thing about the ebook is that it also contains a list of reliable suppliers where you can buy the necessary suicide medications without a prescription. You will not find this information in any other book. The best medication for ending your life in a peaceful painless way is Pentobarbital. This is the medication they use in all suicide clinics and in hospitals where they perform euthanasia. In the Peaceful Pill eHandbook you can also find a list of reliable suppliers that sell Pentobarbital. You won’t need a prescription.

"The tables listing the drugs used in drug poisoning deaths show that it is possible to use drugs as a successful method of suicide using a variety of different drugs. One important success factor is the dosage - how much of any particular drug needs to be taken for it to be lethal.
Minimum lethal doses (MLDs) were historically calculated based on animal testing, with the results extrapolated for humans. After all, you can't test how much of a certain drug is required to make a human die. In a study by 18 pharmaceutical companies in 20081, it was found that the single dose acute toxicity test that was normally used to identify the minimum lethal dose of a medicine had little or no value in assessing the risk to humans.
Part of the problem is that humans come in such a variety of different shapes and sizes. Certain drugs might need much higher dose in someone weighing 100kg then 60kg, although if it is a drug that affects the brain the dose might be very similar. Furthermore, according to a study by T Ludden quoted in Stone2, the effect of some drugs on men and women can be marked, with variation between the sexes 100% or more.
Also, exposure to certain drugs generates a tolerance to them, so that much higher doses are required to have an effect. For example, people taking morphine for long term pain control often need increased doses over time to have the same effect.
For all these reasons, predicting MLDs in humans is very difficult. So beware.
With that proviso, there have been tables published on MLDs. Two such tables are presented below (note some entries have footnotes associated). The first column has MLDs from a blog post http://moriahconqueringwind.vox.com/ (site now closed) with no information as to the source of the information. The figures in the second column were taken from a posting on alt.suicide.methods, reportedly from a book "The Prediction of Suicide". In his book, Stone2 points out that lethal doses quoted in medical reviews are generally a range of values, and that the MLD can vary significantly between sources.
So whilst there is a table of MLDs below, it must be highly questionable how much accuracy can be attributed to this information. The section Which drug provides more information on lethal drugs that are commonly used for suicide, and the notes to the table below proving important information on doses for some of the more commonly discussed lethal drugs."

just try to list all the bad that you have done in life.
go to someone you did it to. sit at his or her feet. from the depth of your heart apologize. cry out if you have to. just let it all out.
don't ask for forgiveness just admit that yes you have done wrong.
you will live a long and happy life.
