... but old hand at giving up!

Started Champix 10 days ago, last ciggy last night.

Moods seem to change in seconds not minutes or hours.. can be feeling quite positive and then, suddenly, realise I haven't had a ciggy.. do I NEED one? Yes. No. Not really. Definitely. No.

This seems like a good place to share these thoughts and perhaps to offer something to others too though right now, I doubt I've got much to offer. Hey, it can only get better right?!

Sounds just like me.Champix gets you past the first few hard days,before you know it 1 week will have gone and you will feel much better and stronger.I am on champix and quit 6 days ago

thanks - it's great to read that what I'm thinking / feeling / fearing is actually not unique! Looking through the boards I was amazed to see that I am amongst people who are or have been going through exactly what I am.

Thought I was odd feeling sick on ChPx, poor sleeping, very lacking in energy - now I find that lots of folk on ChPx have the same troubles! So, early days but thanks

Hi Steve,

Most of the side effects I had on champix didn't even feature on the information leaflet (we are all still guinea pigs!). I was a nightmare bitch to live with for the second/third week. Now - just like a person who has never smoked I dont miss it AT ALL.

I do think that you have to want to stop in the first place and the fact that you are posting is great

Good luck, keep posting - this forum is so supportive - I'm not sure if its the champix that has helped or these lot on here!
