Actually ... there are really no toxins involved here, IOW this is not like a booze hangover where there are LITERAL toxins involved, put it that way. Opiates are just artificial endorphins, and are remarkably non-toxic in the traditional sense of the word. But if thinking about it that way helps you feel better, then by all means do
The runs come from the fact that the operation of one's digestive system is profoundly affected by the presence of opiates in the system, and is in fact chock-full of opiate receptors that go into full-revolt when the opiates are taken away.
Again, glad you're not doing too badly today. If you're still cool in 12 hours, I'd say you should go out and dance a damn jig cause you've really dodged a bullet here my friend ...
