Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

The best, safest, and most effective way to stop opioids is to simply stop taking them right away. You may go through withdrawal, but this is not dangerous nor deadly. You can treat withdrawal by treating the symptoms with over the counter products. Diarrhea can be treated with over the counter antidiarrheals. Muscle cramps can be treated with ibuprofen. Insomnia can be treated with Benadryl. It can be unpleasant but it is perfectly safe, and it will get you off these harmful medications.
