Hello
Corex is a combination of CODEINE + CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE and is a most potent drug for and used as a cough suppressant .
Since you were suing this drug since one year and now stopped it , this is a very good step and in right direction .
Acute gastritis and breathlessness are the side effects or withdrawal effects of COREX.
Since corex is a habit forming drug or drug dependence drug .
Withdrawal symptoms are:
Nuasea, vomiting , drowsiness , constipation, difficulty in micturition, headache sweating respiratory depression ( as in your case ) , hypotension & hypothermia and so many other symptoms .
Within next 10-15 days you will not feel any side effects ( withdrawal symptoms ) , so no need to consult any one but if symptoms are unbearable then consult a physician / psychiatrist and get opinion.
Good luck.
