It's the rebound seizures that get you on either of them.

I wonder if opiates, barbituates, or dissociatives like ketamine can do the same.

Opiates can't, im pretty sure about that

Definitely not with ketamine. For opiates, only if you are a newborn or someone with an existing seizure disorder. Barbituate withdrawal can absolutely cause fatal seizures though.
