betterdeal Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Hi all I have been on Champix for 16 days now and today is my last day smoking. I've been a heavy smoker for some time now (10-15 years) and this is perhaps my 5th attempt to stop smoking. I have already reduced the amount I smoke from about 50 a day to fewer than 20 on the past 16 days. I feel ready to end this relationship with smoking. It will be rocky to start with, but NC is the way to go (I hear) lol! Wish me luck 1
whichwayisup Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Have you had any side effects from taking champix? I know a few who have and that's a major reason (that and I also don't believe in taking mind altering drugs) why won't try that. Good luck! I hope I can steal your strength and mindset to quit too!
denise_xo Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 That's great, good luck! I strongly recommend the Allan Carr book, it was decisive in helping me quit.
Author betterdeal Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 Thanks, guys. WWIU, I feel a little nauseous for about 20 minutes after I take it. I had vivid dreams for the first week. Other than that, it's been fine, but I have taken a lot of mind altering drugs in my life so my experience is in that context.
