i have no idea why 7 weeks , i asked my doctor why , and she said that is all she can perscribe - i going to bring it up with my stop smoking person tomorrow at our meeting - cos it sounds mad to me , if necessary i will change doctors , just hope i can do somthing about it
dont know if my experience really relevent - didnt take as prescibed stopped smokin and started takin same day, just kept to 1 a day then started forgeting, then would just take one if really cranky, havent had any since bout begining of feb been ct since then and doin great
I used Champix (brilliant stuff) but cut down to one a day after a couple of weeks, as I had an "episode" that (at the time) I thought may have been the tablets, but now, looking back, think probably not.
I was dreading stopping them (callumsgran will vouch for that!) but last week (after taking them for 9 weeks) we went on holiday and I forgot to take them 2 days in a row, and on the 3rd day I realised I felt no different, so I haven't taken them since!
So my advice is "Do not worry!:D"
PS/ If your doctor has only prescribed 7 weeks worth, why not try cutting down to one a day as I did, and make them spin out longer?. Just my own personal opinion mind you, I am not a medical expert!
I have used Champix to help me stop. I only took 2 a day for a week as i felt they were too strong. After 6 weeks i started to have 1 every other day and now i have stopped completely.
Dont know if this will help but Im CT and wake about every two hours. So has Barb was saying it may not be the tablets and you could be doing more harm than good stopping them. Just a thought. Linda xxx

We get to grow old gracefully, Nicky At least now we won't be seen queuing outside the post office waiting to collect our pensions, with the old fag dangling from our lips. :eek:
And hopefully, quitting will help prevent some of those premature wrinkles!!! :rolleyes:
