Hi,
Thanks for writing to healthcaremagic.

You are suffering from opioid dependence.Whenever you get less than your usual dose or you stop taking corex ,then withdrawal symptoms arise like running nose,lacrimation, leg cramps, diarrohea, bodyache, headache etc
Your depressed mood is also mostly due to your opioid dependance disorder.

You need to be deaddicted first and in that period ,you may need antidepressants for short period of time.

Buprenorphine and naloxone combination is available at deaddiction center.Simultaneous symptomatic treatment for withdrawal is also given.
You should seek help from there.You are taking since 14 months,it will be more easy to be deaddicted at present than later.

Hope I have answered your query,
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
