I am on 3rd week of Champix, 2nd week of quit, and finding it relatively easy, however.........
My sleep patterns have become very disrupted. I am so tired I go to bed around 10pm, usually wake around 3am and manage to get back to sleep, though I don't believe I am getting into a deep sleep, then I am up around 5am. Now this isn't too unusual for me, I've always been "early to bed, early to rise", but the pattern has been getting worse over the last few days, and the worst was last night - asleep by 10.30pm, awake again at 1.30am, only this time I couldn't go back to sleep for love nor money. I had to skip work today, I felt like a zombie when I got up, honestly I was staggering about as if drunk.
I am trying to stay awake now, get as much fresh air and be as active as possible, and am planning a nice bath for later on this evening.
But I am also contemplating skipping my evening doze of Champix, anyone know if this is a good idea or have any better suggestions?
Thanks,
