What Friar Lawrence says will happen is exactly what does happen. "Presently though all thy veins shall run a cold and drowsy humour, for no pulse shall keep his native progress, but surcease; no warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest, the roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade to paly ashes; thy eyes' windows fall like death." Basically she is going to look like she is dead: no pulse, no breath, no colour, and no warmth, and she will stay like that for 42 hours.
she would kill herself or run away
she could also be forced to marry Paris
will work to well-wont work at all- romeo wont show up
Juliet mentioned if the potion did not work she would kill herself. So it was implied that the next plan would be a suicide to avoid marriage to Paris.
kill herself
Let Romeo get on top for awhile.
Juliet passes out, giving the appearance of death.
Try to kill her self
She will take her own life.
Juliet will be asleep for 42 hours.
She has a knife to stab herself.
A dagger. If the friar's potion doesn't work, she will stab herself.
She worries that their plan might not work. She worries that the friar might be trying to poison her.
i think it was a dagger in case the potion didn't work
Nope, 'cause she doesn't know about it herself. Juliet dumped the Nurse as an advisor after she counselled Juliet to commit bigamy. She did not let the Nurse in on the sleeping potion plan. If you had read or seen the play, you would probably remember that it was the Nurse that discovered the supposedly "dead" Juliet, and she was some upset about it.
The potion which Juliet was to take was not poison. They were knockout drops, designed to make her look dead long enough to get buried then wake up and be reunited with Romeo. If they didn't work, she was prepared to stab herself to death, as she ultimately did.
Juliet decides that if the potion does not work, she will take her own life by using Romeo's dagger.

that the potion wont work .
Yes, Juliet's backup plan is to use a dagger if the potion doesn't work. She fears waking up in the tomb before Romeo arrives and chooses to have the dagger as a way to prevent herself from a painful death if the potion fails.
Juliet's second worry about taking the potion is that it might not work as intended and she will have to face marrying Paris.
