Can You Die From Combined Drug Withdrawals?
Question by Brianna: Can you die from combined drug withdrawals?
My boyfriend of 11 months did ALOT of drugs in his past. He was injured when he was in high school playing football. His doctors put him on opiates for his pain, but he became addicted. Soon, it went from just the prescriptions to the illegal drugs. He was doing every drug known to man all at the same time… He cleaned up though, but he still is fighting the addiction. He’s been fighting it for three years now, and his withdrawals have only gotten worse… He’s in Alot of pain, and cant breathe well. I told him he would be fine, but he says all the drugs he did over the years really messed up his body and that’s why he’s like this. He said he isn’t afraid of dying, and that he wouldn’t mind going. Anyway, I just wanted to know if his drug abuse from over the past 10+ years can do this much damage and if he will make it or if he really has a chance that he could die from this. Please help, I realldon’tn’t want to loose him, but if he has a chance at dying i want to be able to prepare myself for it…

Yes You Can Die From Withdrawals But It’s Usually If You’re Coming Off Heroine, Or If You Were An EXTREME Alcoholic For Years. But Those Are Pretty Much The Two Things You Can Die From Just The Shock Of Your Body Not Having Them. The Most Common Symptoms Are Shaking/Seizures & Hallucinations, With Everything Else; Even Drugs Like Crystal Meth Withdrawals Are COMPLETE HELL But They Won’t Kill You Alone. And You Say He’s Been Clean For 3 Years? Withdrawals Last Only The First Few Weeks/Months. What He Is Experiencing Is Just The Aftermath Of What Those Drugs Did To Him Over The Years. He Really Keeps To Be Seen By A Doctors Who Specializes In Drugs & Recovery. Hopefully He Gets Better!
