There was a kid here in the USA who died doing that. Chubby Emu did a piece on him. Definitely check with your doctor first.

Thanks for mentioning this. Here is the video: https://youtu.be/ZeLsJ8xtuGU

Where he reviews a paper that shows in 2 males, loperamide lead to cardiac arrhythmia and death. The doses they took arent clear but it's in the heroic range. (50x-100x 'normal')

If you're desperate to get off opiates and unwilling to do suboxone or methadone, I'm not sure a doctor, if you can afford one, would even mention loperamide.
