Aside from eating ingredients, is there any way to paralyze yourself?
EDIT: Stop saying to just eat netch jelly. My goal isn't to fall off of a tall place and survive, my goal is to LAUNCH myself very far, for the fun of being launched very far. If you get paralyzed the instant Whirlwind Sprint starts moving you, you go a lot farther a lot faster. But when the paralysis effect ends, you stop moving and start falling while your character stands back up. Eating a paralyzing ingredient only paralyzes you for like 3 seconds, potions last longer.

I want to Whirlwind Sprint myself off of tall places and paralyze myself right after the shout starts so I get launched really far, but don't die upon impact. Can I drink poisons if there are more positive effects in the potion that negative ones?

If you're playing the modern version of Special Edition that has Rare Curios included (doesn't need to have Anniversary Edition), then it appears there are quite a few combinations that produce paralysis potions. The key ingredients are: scrib jerky, hackle-lo leaf, kagouti hide, marshmerrow, coda flower, and worm's head cap. With at least one of those and some combination of more common ingredients, it can be done. Check the calculator at powtions.com to figure out some recipe options.

Rare Curios also includes the corkbulb root ingredient which is an easier to get alternative to netch jelly. It's not one of the rare ingredients though, the caravans always sell it.

I already said I want to launch myself off of tall places with the Whirlwind Sprint shout. Getting paralyzed right when you do the shout causes you to get launched way farther, but when the effect wears off and your character does the standing back up animation, you immediately stop moving. Then you die when you hit the ground.

Eating a corkbulb root doesn't work, it doesn't last long enough. I need a potion, because the potion will last the whole flight.

I wonder if getting ragdolled by someone else using Unrelenting Force on you would work? It would be way harder to get the timing right, but Arcwind Point has both a dragon and as many as five undead that can shout, and three of the undead are up near the top on the side that faces out towards the rest of Skyrim.

In any case, a 67-second potion is likely a good start. I wonder if you can get all the way from the Throat of the World to Solitude that way. I have fond memories of jumping diagonally across the whole Morrowind map using a different glitch (Solstheim to the Shrine of Azura, using the glitch that overclocks your Fatigue; At 40k of 400 Fatigue, the flight takes about three minutes).

I'm pretty sure you can hit yourself with an arrow, so maybe a poison can be applied this way.

Try applying the paralyze effect on a ring or glove, then wear to activate the effect, remove to stop the effect. Console search "effect"(no quotes), find any/all reference to paralyze that's has "mgef" tag. Then use playerenchantobject "item id #" "paralyze id #". "item" is ring or glove(add to favorites for quick access), "paralyze id" is the "mgef" tag #. Hope that helps. Cheers.
You can eat multiple corkbulb roots/netch jellies/gold kanets throughout the flight to stay paralysed, that's what I use. Fortify Alteration potions might also increase the length the ingredients give you.
Fair warning, though, launching yourself from high spots will eat away at your supply if you want to keep the effect going. It certainly works, though!
Um... I have been following this and it just occurred to me, why does the op WANT to inflict paralysis on themselves?

It serves no purpose...

Yes it does. Just not a good purpose. As he said (right there in the very first post):

My goal isn't to fall off of a tall place and survive, my goal is to LAUNCH myself very far, for the fun of being launched very far.

If you are paralyzed, you don't take fall damage. And since paralysis ragdolls you, you can also be launched off of a location quite a ways as well.

The purpose it serves is right there in the post, before I even edited in a clearer explanation of why Netch Jelly won't work. Aside from the title it was literally the second sentence.

Use console "playerenchantobject" method, 26277482 is Sand burial paralyze, 262440ee is Fortify healing, use both on a ring/glove/gauntlet or hat/hood/circlet, have fun.
