It is very unlikely to die from withdrawal symptoms, even though it may feel like it sometimes. However, if you do not manage your symptoms, like diarrhea and vomiting, this could lead to more serious health complications and in some cases, death.

If you are experiencing withdrawal and are worried about the severity of your symptoms, please contact 911 immediately.
