Dear CBlue

i am reading up more. What i am reading is that opiate discontinuation by itself does not generally produce life-threatening conditions... he key terms there being "generally" and "by itself" ... you need a doctor on board right now who is aware of the entire situation, your overall medical status, all other medications, etc etc etc.. They can make the call as to whether you need to be under medical supervision.

We cannot make that call so, while i hope to have reassured you somewhat after giving you bolded instructions to go to ER etc, i do not mean to take back any of what i said before. CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!!

Finally, even in the best of cases, it seems advisable to have another person with you just to help look after you.
