    I've heard tht stuff can kill you even after just using it for the first time! x
    You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.

    Nah i dont think so, it was sold to induce vomiting, so if you accidently swallowed something life threatening you could take this and vomit back up quickly. I dont think its especially dangerous. Any type of vomiting puts a strain on the heart and can cause failure over time.

    I know a bunch of people have died from having it too much- not from lack of nourishment but some enzyme in the ipecac itself.

    uh, yeah, if you don't have any ipecac, it's best to keep it that way

    I've also heard that it can kill you the first time you ingest it, though that's more rare

    However, using it regularly will make it far more likely to kill you. It screws up your heart somehow, I dunno, I'm not a doctor

    It is has been used for emergency cases when a child swallows something poisonous, since you want to get the poison out. But no one really advises using it any more even in that case, because the risk from ipecac is too great (oh, and vomiting some kind of caustic substance isn't really the best way to get it out).

    Anyway, I don't think you can get it easily. I'm not even sure in what cases a doctor would let someone have any.

    it can definitely kill you.. its cardio-toxic and can cause heart arrythmias leading to heart failure and sudden death.
    this is how karen carpenter died.

    I'm interested in this too.

    If I were to use it, it would be a one-time, emergency-only thing.

    I've been looking around and some sites say it is non-prescription, other places say the opposite. CVS says that it carries it (with prescription), which is kinda lame. Anyway, I'm not really sure I would ever use it, but I am wondering if it's readily available.
    I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral.

    I embrace my desire to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

    If there's a way to get it, believe me, I will find it.

    I kind of want it as a parachute. I want the relief of knowing that I have it if I ever need it, but if I have it, I'm sure I'd never use it. It's weird to explain ...
