Can you die from Methadone withdrawal?
My ex partner and father of my teenage son has been prescribed methadone for over ten years. He has not taken Heroin for many years now and throughout his addiction has worked. He has decided to try and detox and is currently waiting to be referred to a detox unit but it is taking months. He has been on a high dose for the last four years 150mg. He has other illnesses, he has high blood pressure for which he takes three types of medication and he has Hepatitus C. Aside from that, until the last year due to a change in circumstances resulting in the onset of depression he was pretty active and has generally ate reasonably well. Over the past few months due to a change in his clinic and his behaviour, there has been a number of times when he has not had his dose for up to three days. I have always thought that you cannot die from opiate withdrawel, however it's been indicated to him that due to the size of his dose and high blood pressure that that for him to go 'cold turkey' i.e. stop taking methadone suddenly could indeed be dangerous indeed fatal. I would be grateful for any informed advice, as some members of his family are suggesting that this is what he should do if he was serious about being drug free.
