Opiate withdrawals don't kill you, unlike benzos. It's not going to be fun, but you'll live.
It's not likely to kill you, Opiate withdrawal does not usually result in death.. from the actual withdrawal reflex itself that in itself is not a fatal reaction.. however if you have blood pressure issues it could possibly become a contributing factor... and at 300 mg a day you are going to wish it would kill you.. you really should Taper that down to more like 30 mg a day.. it would be much more manageable jumping off at that dose.
As others said, opioid WD isn't fatal, unlike benzo or alcohol WDs can be - however dropping from 300 to cold turkey is going to cause pretty severe symptoms, two of which may be diarrhoea and vomiting. You can get really dehydrated, and this can be dangerous. I really wouldn't recommend dropping from 300mg a day to nothing.
I'm committed to just getting this over with right now I've done this while on about 150mgs a day which was hell and I know this will be Much worse I'm in almost a day withdrawal has started any tips stay hydrated anything else that will help relieve symptoms even alittle and I don't have benzos only nonprescription pharmacy items o and my blood pressure is fine also any one have an idea how long it will last my other withdrawal was only 3 days
Thanks for the help

well depending on how desperate you get/horrible you feel... technically you should go get a Huge bottle of Liquid Immodium and take a HUUUUGE dose I'd say in your case 20-30 mg? I dunno how much really in your case.. and take it the Night BEFORE you are expected to start having symptoms... it takes a while to actually work on your withdrawal this is why a lot of people claim that it doesn't help their symptoms they either do not take enough or give it the Several hours that it takes to work.... um Kratom... that might exacerbate your actual addiction...though.. but if you want to use it... at your tolerance it will not stop your symptoms but may be of some comfort especially combined with the Loperamide.... in your case I'd just make a tea with the Whole ounce and drink half at a time and see if that yeilds any releif whatsoever.... and remember if things Get Reallly... Reallly unbearable where you cannot absolutely stand it one more minute... then there is a last resort..... a Dxm trip.. it can significantly reduce your awareness of how horrible your body feels i guess that's why it's called a "dissociative
Now if you do Decide to go the dmx route.... then tell him to stay out of jail.... nah sorry couldn't resist I know it's corny...
but seriously if you try the dxm make sure that theres nothing in your system that will interact with it ie serotonin drugs... maoi's etc... and use a formulation that has ONLY dextromethorphan in it...
I don't know what state your in.. but here in NC when I get really bad off I can go to a mom and pops pharmacy and sign a book and get a codeine cough syrup they'll sell it without a script only in certain states and only in mom and pop shops... so check your state laws before you get turned down and laughed at.... granted at your Tolerance 230 mg of codiene might only be a slap in the face of your wd pains.. but when we have nothing sometimes the Tiniest reliefs can be the greatest...
Now that is the pharmaceutical stuff we've covered... there are more things.. Take a Vitamin everyday... I'm sure you won't be able to hold much of anything down...so take stuff easy on your stomach but if you can Manage... make sure it's Healthy... food. trying getting some of those soups that has 2 servings of vegetables hidden in themm or the similar juices... this way you can get nutrition without adding hard to process bulk that may make your tummy feel worse...
you probably wont' feel like doing much... if by the second or third day you think it is at all possible put on some music and try to excercise or at least walk... It will feel like the last thing you think is even possible for you to do.. but it does help restart the endorphin process..
get a heating pad and take lots of hot showers or baths it helps very temporarily with the RLS.. .try to keep your mind off of the pain.. try to keep your mind occupied if possible...
I hope something in that block of text is helpful to you.. and know that You are NOT Alone.. .as I type this I am going through some Withdrawal myself I am withdrawing from Oxycodone. Oxymorphone and Tramadol All at Once.. and all I have to help is some Kratom and Immodium.. and while it doesn't kill the symptoms I can tell a difference with both of them helping....
I Feel like Complete Shit and would normally have NOT sat here and typed all this shit.... but you have a Hard road ahead and I feel however shitty I feel it must pale in comparison to what your going through ....
So I am Forcing myself to put out the effort to type this hoping it can help you.... these are my withdrawal tools you may already know some or all of them.. I don't know but I hope you Feel better..
If you need someone to just listen to you ramble on about how bad you feel then that's fine.. .feel free to Pm me
Stay Strong my dude.. .your making the Right Decision for You.. and you should be Proud that your taking this step...
Peace,
B

My best advice when getting off a dose soo high would be to go on Methadone or Suboxone, that is if that is appealing to you, it will be much more comfortable than cold turkey..
If you want to quit without using Methadone or Suboxone I would consider a taper, try to lower your dose as much as possible then "drop off" (stop taking oxy all together).. you should maybe talk with your doctor about getting prescribed benzo's for the anxiety and muscle aches and lack of sleep OR buy them on your own.. There are tons of great threads on this website about opiate withdrawal and the things you can use to get through it use the search button there's a thread called Opiate Withdrawal Mega Thread or soemthing along the lines of that it will be very useful for anyone who is thinking of quitting opiates.
my personal advice would be do a taper get as low as you can then use benzo's as need to deal with the rest of the withdrawal... just my 2 cents.. good luck
