Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

Stamlo (amlodipine) is given a dose of 5-10 mg daily.If you have taken 20-25 tablets,you have far exceeded the prescribed dosage limits.
Overdosage of amlodipine: Signs & Symptoms -
Nausea, weakness, dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, slurred speech, hypotension, bradycardia, second- or third-degree AV block .

Corex cough syrup:Its active ingredients are chlorpheniramine maleate and codeine phosphate-essentially cough sedative.
Adults dosage-codeine phosphate-PO 10–20 mg q 4–6 hr (maximum 120 mg/day).If you have taken half a bottle,again you have far exceeded the prescribed dose limits.
Overdosage of codeine : Signs & Symptoms
Miosis, respiratory and CNS depression, circulatory collapse, seizures, cardiopulmonary arrest, death

I would rather advise to consult ER service without any delay. It is neither possible nor advisable to advise any treatment without physical examination.
