Almost everyone I've heard of that tries this is sorry afterward. Occasionally the fear lessens for a VERY short time (sometimes even only a day), just as it does when an emet vomits from a virus or poisoning, but over the long-term this does more harm than good.


You MAY get to the point where you can get sick yourself (somehow), but it will be through a structured, gradual program of exposure to this stimulus, guided by a competent and trusted professional. As for me, I was cured without having to make myself sick - I didn't vomit for years afterward, and when I did I was fine and have been ever since. But it took a lot of work over a number of years - I don't think you can "short-cut it" by just barfing up ipecac on one day.


Please know that there is a lot of good treatment out there - seek it out (put your energy into that, instead of fretting about the ipecac). Good luck!
