They say that so the suicidal kids dont take the easy way out.

anyone that has actually died of opiate overdose can't verify what you say and those who survived hasn't died and can't verify the claim. very little information is meant to enlighten you , most is shared to influence you.

I lived on opiates for a few years until I abandoned them. they were a pleasant escape. having been an addict, I can only speak from my experience. The constipation was the only negative effect . and mainly the reason I abandoned the narcotics. I like to test my will power and can I get addicted and then ditch my addiction. it sounds foolish but it empowers you. drugs, alcohol, it's all a test . embrace you fragility to die at any moment. you will eventually , whether you want to or not.

I can only speak to my one fentanyl experience and it was scary. I was totally out of it. maybe seasoned drug addicts have heightened experiences that I have not experienced. I wasn't suicidal but I didn't really give a shit. I jerked the patch off and threw it away. never to be subjected to it again. I guess it hits everyone differently.
