Which addiction withdrawls can people die from?


Recommended Posts

I know alcahol can be one,how about Benzodiazapines(zanax,valiun,klonopin ETC), Methadone? Maybe difrent strenghts of opiates? I don't believe cocaine is on the list. How bout Methamphetamine can you die from withdrawling from that?

 

Thanks just wanted to know.

Alcohol and benzodiazepines only, I think. Not the others, although it might get pretty uncomfortable (especially heroin or methadone). That's my understanding, at least.

any addictive substances should be handled by professionals familiar with addictions. many die doing detox alone. the withdrawals can be painfully uncomfortable - but worth the discomfort to get away from what grips them to the brink of death. getting to a state of being recovered is a wonderful freedom!

Withdrawal from certain prescription medications can lead to seizures, which can potentially lead to death.
