Anyone know if you can commit SUICIDE by taking too much Zoloft?!


Question: Anyone know if you can commit SUICIDE by taking too much Zoloft.?
Answers:
Yes, but it would be very, very, very, very difficult and impractical. You would have to take about 500mg/kg for you to have a 50% chance of dying. Or rather, the LD50, the dose at which a population (they do this on mice/rats) is about 500 to 1000mg/kg. Half of the population dies at this dose. So. If you weigh 160 lbs, you would have to take about 36,000 mg. 36 grams of Zoloft. That's a HUGE amount and you would probably not be able to swallow all the pills anyway.

Short answer: No, you can't.

!!!__EDIT__!!!: I am NOT suggesting you take them. I was only providing you with the information. It would probably be a VERY unpleasant way to die and I suggest you seek some more help. Hell, I was on Zoloft and it didn't do anything, but I switched to another medication, and I'm doing okay.
