    Yeah, since depressed people are at extra risk, they never give you a lethal dose in one months supply. It normally takes around 3 months worth to finish the job.

      But when would I ever find myself with three depressed people with their full month’s supply in the same room?

        Yeah, but there’s not enough to go around. Unless you plan on using them one after the other…🤮

      Is that in a medical book somewhere? They give drugs like lithium to people with bipolar disorder and a month’s supply is plenty to cause death.

        I dunno, it’s just knowledge I’ve obtained by googling several anti-depressants I’ve been on to find what their lethal dose is and talking with doctors about why the supplies on various pills were odd.

        In the US I’m guessing? Anyway, it doesn’t matter where, every place is different. So saying what you’ve done without any thought on the local subjectivity is so dumb. Where I live, that isn’t the case at all.

          Are medications like lithium just not available? A month’s supply of lithium to keep levels in the therapeutic zone can easily require giving someone plenty to trigger acute lithium toxicity.

          What country if you want to share? I am in the US, but I’m curious how treatment is handled in cases where the patient requires more potentially toxic medications to help with their psychiatric conditions.
