If I was slowly losing my mind, I'd even try experimental drugs that came with a 20% chance of sudden death.

There's not much worse than having your mind die while your body is still alive.

But perhaps it has other nasty side effects, maybe another 20% to get instant dementia.

Just to pick another unrelated chemical example that is well known, 30ml of methanol will kill you but 10ml will make you permanently blind.
