A member asked:

Is overdosing on sleeping pills the painless way to go?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Just a minute: The desire to end it all is not normal to begin with. If you are in so much pain, psychic or physical that you wish to end your life, you need to talk to a professional as soon as possible. There are always other options. Call someone immediately to talk this out.
