I used to think Phenobarbarbital was sufficent for taking one’s life. That’s the only thing that gets discussed in media coverage of assisted suicide in my country.

IIRC, getting medication overdose to work is a coin flip depending on the patient. I think phenobarbital works pretty consistently, that's why it's not really prescribed for its non-lethal uses as often anymore, but they still throw in a bunch of other drugs in the euthanasia cocktail to increase the probability of a successful procedure.

It's always better to end with a bang. Myth busters confirmed it.

I imagine the morphine and diazepam will make the patient calm sleepy and maybe even euphoric?
