All a cyanide capsule is is pressed potasium or sodium cyanide. It hits your stomach, the ions dissassociate and the CN- ion group combines with the hydrogen from the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. This is absorbed by your stomach lining into your blood stream where it combines strongly with you hemoglobin, stronger than oxygen can combine. You die of cyanosis.
Why you would want to know this is beyond me. There are much less painful ways of offing yourself and I hope you would seek help before trying them.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." – C.
