Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath And Shallow Breathing Caused By CNS Depressants

CNS depression not the cause.
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
I think though that you have a wrong idea about CNS depressants. They do not cause shortness of breath, spasms etc as you seem to think. They do not act directly on the lungs at all. They act on the brain. Respiratory depression happens only in large doses, it means that the brain doesn't send the signal to the breathing system, stops giving orders so to say. The fact that you "felt" your shortness of breath in itself excludes CNS depression as the cause.
So the symptoms you describe do not look as a result of CNS depression but due to asthma exacerbation. If some component of the vitamins you took had any that would have been through acting on your airways not through CNS depression.
I hope I was able to make my point clearly for you. I remain at your disposal for further questions.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for your feedback.
The reason I insist your symptoms are not due to CNS depression is because as I said it doesn't act on the lungs directly. In practical terms CNS depressants would first sedate you, put you to sleep and after that would come the respiratory depression.
So the reason I insist it was not due to cns depression, be it ashwagandha or some other product, is because that description of gasping for breath is totally the opposite as with CNS depression you should not be awake at all, should be in a coma.
If you're not feeling well with the current regimen obviously the current regimen should be reseen by your doctor, possibly someone specialized in respiratory disease.
I hope to have been of help.


No, drug will clear out
Detailed Answer:
No do not worry, those side effects will not be permanent, should abate as the drug is cleared from your system. Can not give precise time frames, as apart from individual metabolism characteristics, clearance times for herbal products are not well studied, but should subside eventually.
I still do not think that the respiratory symptoms you described earlier were due to the drug.
I sincerely hope you will get better soon.
