Hello Keith x x x

Welcome on board!!

Glad you have decided to quit x x

Sorry to hear of the angina problems

Yes you start on a smaller dose of champix then increase it, after 1 week I think , then you quit around 2 weeks into the course!

Kazza will fill you in better, she is a champix user and is doing incredibly well!!

Good luck x

Your welcome

Oh and be sure to eat and drink water with the pill, some people experience a feeling of nausea.

I really hope it works as well for you as most here x x

Will power of course will be required, theres no magic cure yet!

Plan ahead and find something new to fill your time such as crosswords, reading, walking or writing etc x x

Best of luck

Kieth.. i'm new to champix to..i'm a not so old 45 yr old 30 a dayer.. going to start my first tablet tomorrow morning.and aiming to stop on day 8. really looking forward to it. determined this time:).

any tips on eating / drinking / bit nervous of some of the messages here but prepared to go trial and error . i think 3 meals a day and plenty of water are the answer and dont take the evening meal tablet too late (eat early)

Oh and just to say my GP was very helpfull and very knowlegable. as was the pharmasist. i'm starting with a 2 week starter kit.

Anyone else thinking of champix, go have a chat with a GP or your pharmasist, they know their stuff.
