Title: Champix and non smoking
Post by: Ishard on March 17, 2009, 08:22:02
I am currently on Day 4 of taking Champix to stop smoking.
I have tried EVERYTHING else to stop and am hoping this plus will power will do the trick.

Anyone else trying to stop smoking?

Ishard, go to the link below.  There's a bunch of others doing the same to keep you company.  Good on you and all the rest for giving up the evil weed.

I am on week 10 with champix at the moment.  Heres my advice :) :)

In the morning, eat some toast before taking your tablet, especially when they increase the dosage to 1mg tablets in week 2.  One of the major side effects is nausea and I found eating something before taking the tablet works wonders.  For the evening one, I ate a biscuit before taking it.

The tablets also effected me with tiredness in the first few weeks, but I am ok now and not as bad as it was :)

The tablets are fantastic, as long as you do stop smoking in week 2.  I still have a feeling I want a cigarette sometimes, but found that was when I had my normal coffee I felt something was missing :)

Good luck with the tablets....Hope they work for you.  ;D ;D ;D

I am thinking of giving these a go.  I have tried patches numerous times and am all right for a few months but drift back.  I was the same with cold turkey.
