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.
