Hi,
It is an opioid addiction and the cough syrup called Corex that you are addicted to has a lot of impact on your health. When you try to quit this syrup you may experience flu like symptom for few days along with cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, irritability and leg kicking. Opioid addiction leads to impairment in your quality of life and eventually you become a slave to it.
It can also cause respiratory depression and overdose can lead to death. Naltrexone is a great medication to keep you off opioids. But, you should consult with a professional psychiatrist in this issue. He may help you to quit this syrup called Corex. But, quitting this medication depends on your strong willing power and fixed determination.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
